...n, as usual--the face of the apartment buildings across the street a panoply of twinkling lights--but not enough light for her to see by. With a quivering breath, Terri flicked on the light-switch.

There was nothing there. No body; no blood.

Terri took the three steps to her bed, her fists closing in righteous anger. What kind of game was this?

Cautiously, not certain whether she wanted to prove herself wrong or prove the picture right, Terri reached down and peered under the bed. Nothing there except the new shoes she'd bought the previous day, and the box it had come in. She checked the closet, scanned the surface of the dresser, to no avail.

Cursing, Terri stepped into the main room to call up the image again. If this was a game, there must have been some point to it, some reason behind it... The creepy guy at the photo-developers place must have put it on the DVD... but why go through such effort?

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
If you're writing a collaborative story, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
