Bogleech.com's 2017 Horror Write-off:
Blink, Dammit!

Blink.
Blink dammit.
This game is not fun anymore. Just end it. Blink.
I'm so hungry. I'm so tired. Please, just blink.
How long has it been, anyway? We missed a lot of school. We
missed a lot of Christmases.
Look at all this hair. We're practically swimming in it. I can't tell where yours end
and where mine begin. I don't think human hair is supposed to grow for this long.
I can't move my hands or legs. I think my nails have grown and rooted themselves
into the floor and walls. I imagine the same is happening to yours.
Blink. Or look away. Anything.
Just give up. Blink.
Haven't heard from mom in a while. Last time I heard her voice, she was
telling me and you to please come downstairs. Did she just give up after
that? She sounded so tired. Old? I couldn't see her face from this angle.
Maybe she died?
Blink, man. Come on.
We haven't eaten or slept in so long. I don't even know how we're still alive.
I don't even think either of us can die. At least, not until one of us loses.
If you or I blinked, do you think we'd just drop dead? Is this game the
only thing keeping us both alive for so long? Honestly, I wouldn't
mind death at this point. I just need to rest.
Blink. My eyes hurt so bad. Please, blink.
I know what you're thinking. "If you want it to end so badly, why don't you blink?"
Nice try. I'm not a quitter.
Blink.
Blink dammit.
How long has it been, anyway? We missed a lot of school. We
missed a lot of Christmases.
