Day 6


There was an old table in the middle of the dimly-lit dining room, which was in a cabin in the middle of a forest. It was nighttime. The family was having supper when a man whose face was hidden under a burlap sack appeared behind the mother. He held up a knife, tilted her face towards him, and started skinning her. There was screaming everywhere, but no one tried to save the mother until the eldest daughter, who was scared but unmoved, cautiously approached her mother and pushed a large pin into the latter’s nape, where the spinal cord was.

Very clumsy writing - but when you are supposed to squeeze everything into a hundred words, choosing which parts to include can end up in, well, this.
