Five Sentence Freakout!
The point of this challenge is to write a strictly five sentence horror/thriller story with your first sentence being: “Four minutes in and I knew I had made a colossal mistake.” Notice: The sentence prompt count as your FIRST sentence, meaning you will write 4 more to complete the five-sentence-freakout. (Blatant run-on sentences will be a negative grade when judging these). Have fun and Happy Halloween!

The Chestburster

Four minutes in and I knew I had made a colossal mistake. It was forcing its way through, and there was no way I could stop it. It was at that point that I wished I could have turned back time, and never started the whole infernal affair. It was driving up through my entire body, destroying my insides and burning my throat, leaving in its wake a ravaged wilderness where my internal organs had once been. It happened every year, and I had only myself to blame as, once again, I had eaten far too much Halloween candy!
