“There is an obnoxious creature on the streets. Let your kids stay inside in safety.”
“It was standing outside my gate. My father has been sick for the last few weeks. Are the Messengers of Death visiting?”
“Call the Space Research Cell. Maybe we can spot a flying saucer or UFO around.”
“Two beggars found dead on the pavement. Is is the handiwork of the mysterious serial killer?”
There was a huge crowd outside the police station, demanding to know, what steps were being taken for the security of citizens. The police had to call in extra forces, to control the mob. The concerned ministers were on television, appealing to the people to calm down, and assuring that all steps were being taken to ensure their safety.
Schools were closed. Traffic was sparse on the streets. People stocked up on essentials in anticipation of a curfew being clamped on the town.
Two days later, the obnoxious suit was found discarded in a restroom at the airport. A criminal had managed to escape the vigil of the police, and fly off to a safer destination, maybe under an assumed identity.
The witch hunt began all over again.

I am glad you didn’t skip this week’s one. I wondered how people would react to it being completely different to others.
A great use of the prompt, and the serial killer managed to escape. Or did he? Or maybe she? Maybe that’s the way he or she wanted it to seem

The costume may be obnoxious, but I think that’s the idea. Anyway, for most of the 1987 film which launched the Predator franchise, he was invisible. Plenty of explosions and gore, though.

Personally, I have never understood the fascination for horror. Perhaps, some people need to imagine hell, to celebrate the Heaven they live in.

Great take on the prompt, Reena; that would definitely be scary to see in real life, if you didn’t realize it was a costume Although realizing it was a serial killer inside the costume wouldn’t be very reassuring, now would it!

No. But it is so obnoxious, that my first thought was about skipping this week’s prompt. Then, -I pushed the image to the bottom.

It’s definitely not pleasant to look at! That’s what adds to its monstrous quality I suppose.
