So I Just Watched
by Terrie Leigh Relf
My neighbor was in the shower again, hot water misting up the window, pretty blonde hair clinging to her face and shoulders. She was banging on the window, screaming: “Please, somebody help! He’s going to kill me for sure this time!”
A shadow approached behind her . . . and then blood, all that blood splattering the walls, the window, dripping down her face. I knew she saw me, but what could I do?
So this time, I just plugged in my iTunes and watched . . . After all, she’d been dead for months.

The Sisterhood of the Blood Moon
For thousands of Earth years, the Transgalactic Consortium has had a quiet interest in this planet and its inhabitants, the Haurans. While the Sisterhood of the Blood Moon works together with the Consortium and Haurans to maintain balance in the universe, the Blood Moon is fast approaching. The power of this moon reveals untold secrets . . . including a sacred covenant with the Mora Spiders. There is an ancient pact that needs to be honored—but at what cost and for whose purpose? The world may come to an end. But will there be a chance for a new beginning?

Very chilling, and loved the twist at the end.
Yes! Short and sweet and a shockeroonie! Good one, Terrie!
Wonderful – so much creep factor in so few words.
