Have you ever woken up DEAD? Well I did... when I was eight years old I woke up in my bed covered in blood. I found my mother, father, and baby sister all dead in their sleep. Soaked in blood. From then on I felt like death. Everyone around me dies...

"HEY OLD LADY wanna watch a movie?"
Fallen frowns as she stares at her annoying niece who stands in her bedroom doorway.
"I'm not old you brat. And yes I do."
"Great what were you thinking?" Luna smiles as she jumps onto her aunts bed.
"Hmm romance?"
They both stare at each other before scrunching up their faces in disgust, "Nah."
Luna rubs her chin in thought, "Comedy?"
"Don't feel like laughing."
"Well that's kind of morbid."
"Thriller..."
"I could scream."
"Great thriller it is."
Luna looks up at her aunt smiling mischievously, "So you got money?"
Fallen rolls her eyes slapping Luna's arm, "You little con artist. Look in my purse."
"Thanks Auntie!!"
"Screw you."
...
A fuming Jackson enters the video store, searching for The Notebook. But going row to row and passing by the now empty ladder and replacement bulbs, he can't seem to find it.
"Can somebody help me find The Notebook?"
He glances around. No response. No one at the cash register.
"The Notebook really?"
He jumps as he sees Luna appear out of nowhere from behind an aisle.
"It's for Lydia."
"Mhmm sure."
"It is... where's the freaking staff?"
Luna frowns looking around, "Yeah I have no idea. I've been looking around the front waiting for someone to help."
Jackson sighs, "Hello? Anybody working here? Anybody at all?"
It seems there's not a single other person in the store. Turning back to the shelves, he begins thumbing the DVD's when he spots something. Through the wire frame of the shelf, Jackson sees two shoes on the floor, toes pointed upward.
He lets the DVD's fall back. Hand now trembling, he slowly steps left. Inching around the corner of the shelf, he sees the two shoes and now just a bit of the legs.
"Jackson?" Luna asks as she watches him slowly and cautiously take steps away.
He holds up a hand silencing her, "J-just stay there..."
Someone is lying on the floor on the other side of the shelf. Chest rising with ever shortening breathes, Jackson takes another step. And then another, finally discovering the Clerk lies dead on the floor.
