Night Shift

Part 5

20 years later the news flashes on a TV, the news reporter saying almost 20 years ago at our towns local supermarket a grizzly sigh,t 4 people brutally murdered by Holden Cruz, the TV cuts to black.

Three teenagers gossiped around in a group "bro it's tradition to go to the supermarket on the anniversary" they headed through the woods passing the old primary school bumping into a strange old man wearing a red suit "oh sorry, sir" the old man stopped and stated that's all right, one of the three teenagers broke out into a question "is this the way to the old primary school" the old man replied "yeah it's that way"and off the teenagers went.

On their way towards the local supermarket, coming to an old fence around the property, police tape still there, the kids jumped the fence making there way inside.

Reaching the front door, he three teenagers stared into the dark void, nothing but empty shelves one kid said "aisle 1 was where he killed one of them, lets go check out"

The three teenagers made there way towards the stated killings, standing over an old stain assuming it's blood it had been 20 years, one dare the other to check the downstairs cash office hallway" "ok but your coming with me" "fine". They made there way downstairs facing that dark corridor as Holden had always found terrifying, making their way down there. A loud bang ruined the silence of the darkness, a bottle of rum and coke spilled towards them, stoping, they hear a voice whisper "don't leave before having a drink", a light flickers from the end of the hallway, to see a shadowy discredited figure at the end of the hallway, the 3 teenagers run for their lives, leaving the store.

A song slowly played, static and cracks condemning the silence halls, onto the loudspeaker

"daisy, daisy

give me you answer

I'm half crazy

all for the love of you"

A bloody hand reachers from within the corridor, reaching for the spilled bottle, picking up the glass of nice cold rum.
