“Kill her,” flashed the terminal.
Kathy looked behind. There was a woman using a terminal on the other side of the room. Quite tall, but delicate looking. Slender arms and legs. Her thin dress seemed to hang off her bones. Easy mark.
Kathy turned back to the terminal. “Kill her.”
A shadow loomed up behind her, a slender arm bought a hammer down upon the back of Kathy’s head.
“As you ask,” said the slender woman to her terminal.
One of the first 6 horror stories I wrote for the Fears. Also published in our horror anthology, Capricorn. It would make a fab Christmas present for someone who likes horror stories. Plays jingle bell music in November. Too soon?

No one can trust terminals anymore. They always try to kill you. My friend is still in the hospital from that.
