Uninvited Guests
E/O Drabble challenge, word: Midnight.
Summary: You're supposed to gather experience at the college. Well, some gain it the hard way...
A/N: Still 2 episodes to go (I know, hard to believe), so I decided to play on safe ground. 2 x 100 words, to make up for my lazy weeks :-)
They were counting down to midnight, chanting the seconds with a mixture of excitement and unease, the girls giggling, the boys fiddling with the ouija board. The first sessions had been fun, but the last visitor had spooked them with his allusions of lost souls, hungry for life.
"Ready Larry?" Tom whispered.
Larry nodded, watching the small group on his smart phone display.
They'd get famous on Youtube. He could see the exploding number of upload views. Girls would line up to...
Wait, what...
He wiped over the display. The dark shadow wouldn't go away.
And then the screaming started.
-o-o-o-
His hand with the display moving like of its own accord, Larry watched his friends getting attacked by midnight black tendrils. Some were trying to crawl away, others frozen in utter terror. The door bulged and splintered, two men rushing in, speaking in tongues, shotguns in their hands. The supersized one broke the circle, dragging people away from the board. The crew cut sprinkled something on it and set it on fire. Screeching, the smoke curled together like a mini twister and vanished with a puff.
"Kids today", crew cut coughed.
"Yeah, the never read the fine print" smirked supersized.
