Home Is Where Your Loved One Is

"Honey, I'm home!" I shouted gleefully as I left the keys on the table.

Christine welcomed me seating, as always, in her armchair.

"What did you cook today?" I asked, laughing at my own joke. 

She hadn't cook of course - she never cooked. She kept looking at me expressionlessly.

"Come on, I was only joking," I said as I approached her.
I sat next to her and kissed her on the lips. I took off her mask and sighed as I stared at her decomposed face - I had to steal preservative fluid from the university's storage again.

"You're dissolving," I continued miserably, and I spun her mask in my hands. 

"But don't worry, I'll fix you. I'll make you better than ever! "

I gashed a smile on the rubber mask and put it on her face once again.

Αυτή ήταν μια από τις 30 μίνι ιστορίες τρόμου που είχα ανεβάσει στο προφίλ μου στο Facebook τον Αύγουστο του 2017, μεταφρασμένη και ανεβασμένη στο ShortScaryStories του Reddit. Η ιστορία βρίσκεται εδώ και είναι εμπνευσμένη από την αληθινή ιστορία του Carl Tanzler και της Elena de Hoyos.
