Prompt 50: 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson

The hairs on the back of Terran's neck prickled ominously, and he turned to look over his shoulder. All that he could see was the darkness in the trees, looming and beckoning evilly. He shuddered and returned to his attempt at lighting a fire.

Still the feeling of being watched did not leave him, and he was growing more anxious by the minute. Perhaps he should repack and leave...

"My love..."

Terran's head shot up at the whisper and he spun in the direction it had come from. A pale figure emerged from the trees, arms raised. He blanched and scrambled back in fear.

"It's love at first sight...!" the ghost uttered breathily, hurrying toward him.

Suddenly Terran's fear evaporated: He recognized the girl.

"It's you!" he moaned.

"Yes, it is Destiny, my love!" the girl replied, sinking to her knees beside him and wrapping her arms around him. "I thought I'd never see you again!"

"So I hoped I'd never see you," Terran muttered.

Life was just...thriller.
