You always had a strong sense of self-preservation, as shown when you were the first kid outside when your kindergarten went up in flames. You were also the only kid outside, since you quickly barred the door. Plus you were the one who started the fire. But the police could never prove that, and right now you have more important matters than reminiscing. You leap to the side of the killer, squint your eyes devilishly, point at your 'friends' and sneer:
You cackle madly for a
while, until you realize that your friends aren't gazing at you with
hurt looks of betrayal, just before the killer will run them down like a
lawnmower. Actually, both them and the killer are staring at you with
identical looks of puzzlement. Maybe you should lay it on more thickly?
Like, throw your head back and laugh, howling like a lunatic? Rub your
hands together and twirl your moustache? Tie a helpless maiden to a
railroad track? Nah, probably not. Maybe you should do some damage
control instead? Play it all off like a joke? Apologize to your friends?
Claim you have Tourette's syndrome?
"Uh, guys?" you mutter.
"Whatcha doin'?" |
