Bethany

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that's when I saw him in the act. Worse, he saw me, too.
His dark gaze burned into me from behind his white skull mask.

He's the reason I've been afraid to sleep at night. You could say I became obsessed with the killer. I couldn't get the image of him slashing that guy from my head. Sure, that guy was one of the town a-holes, but to see him get sliced up like that? So. Much. Blood.
When I close my eyes, I see the mask.
When I open my eyes, I see the mask—in the shadows, watching. Towering, broad-shouldered, and dressed in black. He is there and gone in an instant. Or is it just my imagination? There are theories about who he could be, but the worst theory is mine. It's a dark secret, and I haven’t told a soul.
Last year, I attended a costume party and did something I’d never done before. I had a one-night stand. His one condition when he stole me away behind a closed door...was that he kept on the white skull mask.

Welcome to my deadly game, sweet Bethany.
You will be a good girl, and play along.
I know you will.
