Santa Slays Tonight

A DEAD MALL. A LONG NIGHT.

You’re working the last overnight security shift at a shopping mall. Christmas decorations hang lifelessly overhead. The lights buzz. The music warps and skips. Somewhere down the concourse, a red shape stands perfectly still.

DON’T. LOOK. AWAY.

This isn’t a chase. If you’re looking at Santa, he’s frozen. Look away to reset a breaker, silence an alarm, or lock a gate and he moves. Every task forces you to turn your back. Every second your eyes aren’t on him is a risk.

Listen for bells.

Watch the lights.

And hope you don’t turn around too late.

Clock out… or disappear into the hallway.

Santa slays tonight.
