His smile dropped as his face began melting and churning and dread settled firmly in her stomach as she realised she'd been duped and the corpse in the hallway was the man she'd been waiting for. Hindsight was a beautiful and dreadful thing that now flooded her panicked mind with all the signs she'd wilfully missed in favour of a romantic evening.
Now she was in a strange man's apartment - no, a dead man's apartment - and whatever had killed him was casting off its human disguise which meant one of two things.
Either it was weak, it had overexerted itself maintaining the form of her former blind date and wasn't capable of staying human any longer.
Or...
It no longer needed to keep up a façade because she was to deep within the proverbial spider's web to do anything more than flutter her feeble wings and wait for the sting of teeth to her throat.
Backing away from the jerking, writhing form that had once been a reasonably attractive man, one she would have considered going on a second date with, she found her back meeting with a warm, tall surface. She looked up and up and up, craning her head right up to the ceiling to see her own face smiling down at her with far too many teeth.
She never even felt her neck snap, she simply blinked and fell.
