This couldn't be real.
The sound of the clock had drawn his attention, and though he'd glanced back in Nancy's direction, he'd found himself compelled to follow the noise for some reason. So follow it Fred did, wandering into the woods near the trailer park, until he'd stumbled across the clearing. And there it was, the clock, chiming, embedded in the lid of a coffin. He'd stared at it in horror, nausea curling in his gut even as his heart pounded wildly in his chest.
Then, suddenly, they'd been there, standing around the coffin in a sickeningly familiar layout. Turning rotting gazes upon him, finger extended, screaming out the word that had haunted his mind for the past year.
Murderer!
He'd shaken his head, scrambling back, barely even noticing another, different voice entering the fray until he tripped, tumbling to the ground, and when he looked up, the people, the coffin, was all gone, vanished into thin air, and in it's place, a concerned looking Nancy Wheeler, as he curled in on himself, a sob ripping itself from his chest.
