Some people say life is complicated. Some say it's simple, easy. Sean use to be one of those people. So sure of everything. His life was so simple. Of course, that was before he came home one day and found his fiancé dead on the floor. Her blood was everywhere. He could never forget standing there, staring at her cold, lifeless body, wishing it was a dream, wanting to wake up with her lying next to him. But it wasn't a dream. It was real. The police searched for her killer for months, but eventually, everyone gave up, everyone but him. They had no suspects, no leads, nothing. He would walk down the streets and people would stare at him, feeling sorry for him. Some even thought Sean killed her. They didn't know who else to blame, so they decided it was him, that he was guilty.
When he realized that everyone had given up, he got out of that town, and left everything behind. He didn't want the memories, they were to awful. For months the only thing he thought about, the only thing he dreamed about was walking into that house and seeing Lizzie covered in blood. It was too much.
As Sean was leaving Maine he stopped in a small town in Rhode Island to get some gas and saw a huge sign with Mitt Romney's name on it.
"Damn republicans." He whispered to himself as he stepped out of the car.
Once he filled the tank with gas he opened the car door and stopped. He looked around and saw that the gas station and the road were completely empty, other than him. He closed his door and walked towards the store next to the gas station. When he opened the door and walked inside, there was a man standing at the front of the store staring at him.
"Hello. Do you know where everybody is?" Sean asked awkwardly, but the man didn't answer. He just kept staring at him. Then he walked forward a couple steps and smiled.
"Okay, I think I'm gonna go now. Have a good day, I guess." Sean said as he was backing towards the door. As he was walking out of the store he looked behind him and the man was gone. He closed the door and started walking to the front of the store, and then the lights went out.
"Hello? Is anybody there?" Sean asked as he walked closer to the counter. There was nothing but silence. He turned around and the man was standing right behind him.
"Hey Sean, it's been awhile." He said as he grabbed Sean arm and twisted it all the way around until he heard it pop out of its socket, and he began to scream. The mam's eyes went completely red for a moment, and then went back to normal. Then he pushed Sean into the glass counter so hard that it shattered. He began to stand up, moaning in pain. The man grabbed Sean by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up.
"Who are you? How did you know my name?" Sean asked him, completely out of breath.
"You don't remember me? I bet your fiancé would. You know, she was still alive when I took my first bite." He replied smiling. Then Sean got angry. He reached for the gun he saw behind the counter and bashed it into his head, and then he fell to the ground.
"Come on, do you really thinkthatis gonna hurt me?" He asked as he stood up and the cut on his forehead began to disappear. Sean lowered the gun and stared in amazement.
"Like I said, I just wanna talk." He said as he walked closer to Sean. He raised the gun again.
"About what?" Sean said, pushing the gun into his chest.
"We have a message for you." He said, grinning even wider than before.
"What message?" He said slowly. The man could tell Sean was getting angrier.
"We're coming for you." He replied as he backed away from the gun "If you thought your life was hell before, you're in for a big surprise." Sean pulled the trigger and shot at him, but it was too late, he was gone.
"Too slow." he heard a voice say from behind him. He turned around and pointed the gun at him, but just as he was about to shoot, a red snake-like thing crawled out of his mouth, onto the ground, and then it was gone. The man fell to the ground and started moaning.
"Where am I?" He said as he tried to stand up, but then he stumbled back to the ground
"Um, just take it easy." Sean said as he helped the guy up. He could barely stand.
"Alright, come on I'll take you to a hospital." Sean said as they walked towards the door. He had no idea what had just happened, but he did know one thing; this was definitely not going to end well.
