Challenge
Write a drabble (a story of exactly 100 words).
In Prose only, 100 words exactly, tell me a story. Fiction or fact, fantastical or realistic, just make it lean, mean, and punchy. No theme assigned this time, let's see what you can do without guidance. I'll choose the winner in June.

Those red, piercing eyes, following me. See them? They're hungry. They burn!
You can see them. Why don't you admit it? They don't like company. They're closer...closer... My God! They're here. Right now!
They stare, just waiting.
They're closer. Nearly within reach!
They gaze so hard. Just look, please, please! They don't like company.
Who after me? Remember me, when you see them in the rearview mirror. Think of me when you see them in the bushes.
You should have just admitted you saw them, too. They're looking over my head now--right now--right at you. I'm getting colder--oh, it hurts.
