Bakery Blues

Genre: Horror

Date: 3-2-20

After a long day at work, I decided to go to the new bakery across the street. I desperately needed something sweet to satisfy me after such a horrible day. I pulled open the door, and that's when I saw her.

It was . . . me? But how? I blinked my eyes in astonishment before she turned to narrow her eyes at me. My eyes darted around the bakery and I realized that no one was looking at either of us.

I shook my head and started to back away when the other me started to walk towards me. "Who are you?" I asked, panic lacing my tone.

The girl tilted her head. "Can't you see? I'm you." She said. Her voice had a strange echo to it.

I shook my head before bolting out the door. No, this couldn't be happening. Before I got too far down the dark street, the girl appeared in front of me. What? But how . . . ?

I stepped back, freezing when my back touched a streetlight. "W-what do you want?" I asked, my voice shaking.

The girl grinned and her pearly whites teeth sparkled. "Did you forget that I'm you? I know your worst fear. The one you refuse to tell anyone . . ."

With a flick of her hand, all of the streetlights suddenly went out. I thought of running away but my body was still rigid. She stepped so close I could feel her hot breath on my face. "Do you like blood? Well I just love the taste of it~"

I saw a glint of sharp fangs appear from her teeth. The next thing I knew, I felt something sharp pierce the skin on my neck. I collapsed and screamed out in pain as the life drained from me.

I saw the girl smirk darkly down at me before crouching beside me. "Hope you enjoy hell~" she said before sinking her fangs into my neck once more and sucking away my blood. My body slowly stopped writhing as the life flickered out of my eyes that stared sightlessly in horror at myself.

I added a bit extra because I didn't have enough time but I hope you liked it!
