Tamsin sees a lot of stuff, so she shouldn't be so shocked...I get the alliteration appeal.

“You know, they just don’t hand out candy like they used to,” I thought out loud as I watched trick-or-treaters run amok throughout the neighborhood in search of candy.
“I actually liked the way the razor blades felt inside my mouth.”

“TRICK NO TREAT!” we exclaimed when the woman opened the door.
Before she could ask us to repeat ourselves, or why a group of masked adults were at her door, we pushed our way inside with a bag of tricks perfect for Halloween night.

I've tried sooo hard to get my name out there in the world, and yet, I have this sinking feeling that I'll never be famous.
As I sit in my car with a weapon by my side and watch a drunk man stumble out of the bar, I realize that this may be my best shot.

Standing on the roof of my apartment building, ready to fall onto the concrete below, I know the reason I'm here is all my fault.
When I kept asking potential fans to “rate and review,” I didn’t expect just an overwhelming number of negative responses.

Here’s a fun fact for ya--reading this sentence...this entire sentence right here will have taken about 8 or so seconds off of your lifespan.
And here's another fun fact for ya--oh look, there goes another few seconds of your existence...gone forever.

Thanks to popular horror movies and TV shows, people have been imagining what their lives would look like if a zombie apocalypse actually happened.
But if you really think about it, most of us are already zombies, mindlessly shuffling through life.

“I just don't get it...why can’t I make any new friends?” I lamented loudly, plopping down on the couch.
“I’ll…be…your…friend,” the girl next to me spluttered, but I knew she was only saying that now because of the ten stab wounds in her abdomen.

“Please, I wasn't serious!” I cried out, holding up my already sliced and diced arms to defend myself against my knife-wielding roommate.
“Oh,” she began, her arm falling to her side, ���so your constant complaints about wanting to die were just...jokes?”

“Cross my heart and hope to die" - I remembered promising that years ago as the thin metal sliver got closer to my eye.
Yes, breaking a promise can cause someone pain, but I didn’t expect him to actually follow through on the second part of the couplet.

After I said no to both dare and double dog dare, my friend countered, "Fine, I TRIPLE dog dare you to do it!"
I turned to the person on my left and, with a sigh and a swift stab to her gut, said, “I’m sorry, but you can’t say no to a triple dog dare.”

“Daddy’s going to be gone a while,” Mommy tearfully whispered to me as we watched the policemen take Daddy away in their flashing car.
With how sad Mommy looked, maybe I shouldn’t have told her about all the ladies I found sleeping in the basement.

“Why don’t you just come out of the closet already?” my friend asked.
“I can’t,” I whispered to them from behind the closed wooden doors, “because if I do, the monster that lives in here might wake up...and I'm scared of what he may do if he does.”

“Oh, come on, one cigarette won’t hurt you,” my friend drunkenly teased, waving their cigarette in my face as I drove us home after a long night of drinking.
Distracted by my friend’s antics, the oncoming truck proved that they were, in fact, so wrong.

Being prescribed new depression meds, my pup and I took the week off to allow my body to get accustomed to any side effects - like drowsiness.
It wasn’t until I woke up to empty dog bowls and no barking that I realized the meds worked a little too well.

“And this meat is so tender!" my ‘friend’ added, continuing her string of compliments as I sat across from her and grinned.
When she checked her phone to see if her boyfriend was finally on his way over, I realized revenge isn’t a dish best served cold.

After hearing so many screaming matches between the couple in the apartment above me, I finally used a broom and banged on the ceiling, telling them to quiet down.
The next night, the only noise I heard from above was a stifled scream…and then silence.

“I'm sorry, Mom, I can’t HELP that I get busy and time escapes ME,” I assured my worried Mom over the phone, fully aware of the pistol pressed into my back.
“Tell Dad HE HAS nothing to worry about as I've been a good student since college has be-GUN.”
