11-12-10: Sneak Preview

Docta Haus has been currently unable to update his blog due to his haste to finish his latest story, tentatively titled "Shock". In the meantime, he is offering the Party a sneak preview of the first page. Enjoy!

They call him the Tea Kettle Murderer.

About once a week, this guy decides that his morning coffee simply isn’t as exciting as he’d like, and decides to make his kettle of boiling water a little bit more interesting. So, he runs outside in his bathrobe, charges up behind the first person he sees, and pours the boiling water all over them. Then, before they have a chance to react, he smashes them upside the head with his tea kettle, generally causing massive brain damage and killing his targets instantly.

The thing is, this guy always skips town after the act, and no one has been able to find him. Still, descriptions from witnesses have always been similar, so it makes sense that it’s the same guy every time. And, I thought, if it’s one guy, what are the odds of him finding me? I used to joke about it with my boyfriend all the time.

So, you can imagine my shock when I was walking to work last week, and out of nowhere I feel something agonizingly hot blazing across my neck and seeping down my back and arms. Before I could register that I was about to be murdered, a brilliant flash of silver light filled my vision, followed by a roaring pain, and then darkness.
