😈 Jump out of the shadows to scare/startle my muse
&. his home had never been a place of fear for him ; as it so often was for friends & acquaintances . sleeping above the cold dead never bothered him , walking in to see bodies on the slab was nothing more than an awakening as a young child . oh , a life surrounded by death sure did a number on the desensitized weirdo . the building was empty besides the two of them —- fresh flowers after a service still fresh on burning nostrils . grieving family members evacuated to bury their loved one down the block . the two had been hiding out upstairs in their living quarters , levi using maggie as an excuse to avoid giving a pallbearers’ helping hand out in the summer heat . but she’d disappeared , leaving him to wander around , annoyed . foot steps echoed down the stairs of the basement , hand reaching out to flip on the light switch . florescent bulbs buzzing on over head , he’d call out for her .
❝ quit fucking around , mags . ❞ he’d turn the corner that lead into the prep room only for her to jump out from behind a metal embalming table . ❝ fuck , man ! ❞ body reacted but was quick to return to a more calm , cool , & collected demeanor . lacking any amusement on his features , arms instead crossed over his death t - shirt . how appropriately fitting .❝ we haven’t cleaned that yet , ya’ know . probably all sorta’ juices splattered on it . ❞ joke ultimately foiled by the grin breaking a stern facade . he’d step closer towards her , hands wrapping around edge of the cold table . ❝ thought you wanted t’ watch friday the 13th . ❞
