A Cutting Sense of Humor

16 Oct

She noticed the knives missing from the butcher block right away.

Then the house went completely dark.

“Okay you guys,” she laughed, the sound laced with anxiety, “cut it out.”

She wished she had checked the time on her watch before the lights went out. She felt like she had been babysitting the evil twins for days instead of hours.

She heard a rustling outside the window. They had gone outside.

Again.

She mumbled under her breath and opened the closet door to grab her jacket.

The twins jumped out.

“Trick or treat!” they shouted as the door opened…

She noticed they had a knife in each hand.
