"Who's gonna try to attack you? They'd be crazy."

She smirked, "Exactly, but you never know."

The rime covered the fallen leaves & the windows of the cabin. She lies in bed, relishing the autumnal morning, when a fingernail scraped the hoarfrost from a pane of glass across the room. Her body froze as an eerie voice echoed from outside. She was alone. #horrorprompt #vss365

She noticed his #bandaged hand. "What happened to you?"

"Rose thorn. Hurt pretty bad, had to go to the emergency room to get fixed up." He flexed his fingers.

"The new strain of rose from the greenhouse? It's like the damn thing hates people."

"Plants aren't people."

There was something about nighttime that Riaan feared. For whatever lurked in the darkness would send shivers through him. Feeling it stare back at him intensely, waiting for the time when Riaan would get closer.
