Alone in the Dark
by L.E. Croft
Chapter 1
Claire Robertson sat reading a book quietly in front of the fireplace. It had been five years since she had last took a quiet vacation to her cabin in Utah. It had also been five years since her husband was murdered. She sighed as she turned the page and heard a gut-retching noise. She dropped the book and froze. Five years ago she had heard the same noise when her husband died. The horrific noise of giant scissors opening and closing. She spun around to see no one. Quickly scrambling to her feet she grabbed the hunting rifle from the mantel of the fireplace. She loaded it then walked cautiously out of the living room to the kitchen. She looked around trying not to panic. The noise had stopped, but where did it come from. She got a chill up her spine as she slowly turned to face the long dark hallway that led to her bedroom. She swallowed hard as she cocked the gun and made her way down the hall. She slowly crept along as the floor boards beneath her creaked. She opened her bedroom door and peered in slowly. The room was empty. She sighed with relief.
"My imagination must be playing treats on me again." she said, softly.
With that the monstrous Scissorman dropped from the ceiling behind her opening the giant scissors and slicing the rifle in half. Claire screamed as she stumbled back. Her eyes widened as the monster closed the scissors. He looked at her for a moment then lunged at her opening the scissors again. She screamed running away. She stumbled out the back door of the cabin as the monster dashed after her opening and closing the scissors. She stumbled into the forest as an eerie fog settled in. She looked behind her as the noise stopped. She took a deep breath as she wandered around in the night.
As it grew darker, Claire began having a hard time seeing. She stumbled along tripping and falling down a small hill. She sighed in frustration wanting to just stop running but couldn't. She crawled along the ground when she felt something. She picked it up and looked at it. She screamed as she seen the head she had just picked up. She threw it as she got to her feet and began to run again. She slid to a stop as she heard the noise again. KA CHING KA CHING KA CHING
Her heart sank into the pit of her stomach as she began to run again. The noise drew closer as she tripped again. Rolling over, she screamed as she seen the monster standing over her.
"No! Please! Noooo!" she screamed, as Scissorman opened the giant pair of scissors. KA CHING
