"You're going to watch," I continued, my eyes still glued to the man who was hanging from the rafters of my porch roof.
My voice stayed even enough that if you didn't see what was going on, you wouldn't think that it was a threat.
Just to be clear, this was completely, 100% a threat.
I had tried to use my words earlier today, and apparently, no one was listening. So I was going to... enhance... the lesson as it were.
"You're going to stay right there, and you're going to see what happens when someone decides to leave." I didn't pause for dramatic effect. I was just done talking.
Of course, no one argued.
One of them swallowed, the sound so loud I could hear it from here and I could hear uneasy shifting as people tried to back away. "1, 2, 3, all eyes on me," I said, and the movement stopped.
While I had been addressing them, the man hanging in front of me was already fading fast. These people really weren't cut out to survive anything, let alone an apocalypse.
