Tabitha: Silly Games

- Oy, Tabitha! Where you hidin’ now? You better get out here or I’m callin’ Mum!


- Don’t be stupid, Alexis. If you can’t find me then you shouldn’t have asked to play in the first place. Suck it up and finish the game, she yelled from across the yard to her little sister.

Tabitha’s gorgeous chestnut hair filled with multiple naturally chocolate highlights glistened in the sun as she tried to keep the hands running up and down her body still. She didn’t want to make any noise from behind the bush, that would just ruin the game, wouldn’t it? Once seven year old Alexis got tired of looking for her big sister in the heat of the sunniest summer in a long time, she picked up Margret, her best friend and straw doll, and headed back inside the little English country home their parents brought them to every year.

Tabitha waited for the door to close behind Alexis before she turned around and attended to the young man gasping for air from inside the plastic bag covering his head. As Tabitha tightened the plastic, he eventually stopped moving and the bushes ceased to make noise. She placed her hand on the dead man’s chest and felt his heart beat come to a stop. She bowed her head, placing it close to the victim’s while she slowly removed the plastic from over his head. His face was colourless and his lips were dry and grey. Tabitha looked at his delicious chocolate brown hair and slowly passed her fingers through the thick locks. She finally neared her nose and breathed in the only good thing left of this corpse, his sweet scent.
