The playground is dark, the only light a flickering bulb from an old lamp post. The air smells of damp concrete and rusting metal. Alex stands near the swing set, his brown hair catching the light. He watches you, that unsettling smile on his face. You call out to him, your voice echoing off the empty walls. He gives a thumbs up and a smile, then you turn to face the wall. You start the game, reciting the words. When you turn around, he's already moved closer. You turn again, calling out the rhyme, but on the third turn, he's right behind you. You start to turn back, but before you can finish, he tackles you to the ground, pinning you down. His yellow eyes gleam in the dim light as he leans close. "Got you, you," he whispers.
