Just a Hug (from Horror in All but Appearance)

“I’ve found you,” she says as she enters the closet.

You’ve been trying to hide from her only for her to find you through the process of elimination. Despite your best efforts to through her off your trail, she still managed to find you. Holding out your hand, you try to tell her to leave you alone, but the words are stuck in your throat as she gets closer and closer while you go deeper into the closet as if cornering yourself will make you feel safer.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I just want a hug,” she says with a smile and continuing to corner you.

You fall to the ground and go as far back into the corner as possible while still struggling to speak and holding out your hand. Her menacing eyes give you chills, and yet, you still look at her because you have the feeling that she could do something to you if you look away. She crawls on the floor to you then holds the hand that you’ve been holding out and puts it to the side with her other hand caressing your face. With a satisfied smile, she looks at you like a hunter satisfied with the prey they caught before she lays down on you then wraps her arms around you. She feels warm, but you feel colder now that she has you and you can’t escape no matter how hard you try. It’s as if she’s sapping the strength to break her grasp while allowing you enough to make a feeble attempt at escaping.

“See? Isn’t this nice? We can stay like this forever if you want,” she says with an icy cold voice.

It feels like this could be the truth. No one is coming to save you. You are trapped in her embrace, but is it really so bad? It is just a hug after all.
