The Locket

“You don’t need to know, about it right now.” at that moment his face morphed to something I have not seen before. His eyes turned red, his nose disappeared inside his body, like if there was a black hole and all his skin was being sucked in. His flesh disappeared, but he kept talking. “Once you have the locket, bring it to the house.” His face, blood dripping on the table, the pool getting bigger and bigger. I stayed there mesmerized, looking in disbelief. My eyes wide and mouth shut. I can see that my friend is not who I thought, at all, that he needed me to get the locket for some sinister plan or some other reason that escapes my mind.
