Keep your phone with you, and stay safe.”
“I will. Love ya, Em.”
“You, too, Lex.”
[Lexi] disconnected, switched her gaze to the park’s maze, but before she could rise, a hand clamped over her mouth.
“Scream and this will hurt a lot more than it needs to.”
Uh oh. Wonder who’s there. Is he good? Is he bad? What’s going to happen next?

ohhhh ….Great six! I hope you have a very merry Christmas! Ax
Yikes! Super intense six here! Man, with next week’s SSS closed I’m going to have to wait until like for-ev-er to find out more! Hmm… seems like it’s a bad guy, with the “it’ll hurt more than it needs to” talk. But then again… hehehe! See! I’m going to be wondering for awhile. 😉
Oh, you cruel tease! Lovely. Now … where’s the rest! 😀
Oooh-oooh, I know, I know. Hehehe. 🙂
Thanks Alix, Kelly, Jocelyn & Julie! 🙂
Uh oh… that sounds like a grim threat! Great six!
Great cliffhanger!
Uh oh. That can’t be good. I hope she puts that cell phone–or her legs–to good use.
Uh oh, is right. Wondering who has clamped a hand over her mouth and what’s about to happen.
Thanks, J.C., D.C., Hailey & Carol! 🙂 🙂
I’m guessing he’s bad. I’m not terribly fond of my friends sneaking up on then gagging and threatening to hurt me. LOL Oh, the irony that it happens right after her assurances that it won’t.
Definitely SIX sentences and not five. SS shouldn’t have zapped your link. I hope TPTB fix it and apologize soon.
They refuse to, Claire. 🙁 They say I could have edited my post since verification. I have the WordPress revision history to prove I didn’t, but their word has more power than mine, apparently. 🙁 Oh well. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Nice Six! Love the creepy crawly feeling you get from the last line.
I most certainly am ready! Love the suspense and the dialogue hits the nail on its head! Fantastic six, Aimiee!
Thanks, Rebecca and J.M. 🙂
Great tease! Definitely makes me want to find out what happens next!
