A dose of microfiction based on Justin’s suggested prompt.

As the group approached the house, it was clearly uninhabited.

The windows were dusty, cobwebs hung in every corner.

“We gonna do this or what?” Jake asked the group. No one spoke.

Creeping around back, even before gaining entry, they felt the presence.

Emily said, “I’m out!”

Everyone else died.

This came to me as soon as I read Justin’s prompt for August 7th, 2020. I hope you all enjoy it.
