“I think I’m cursed,” Mel says as she slips another form-fitting dress over her narrow hips. “Of all days, he picks Friday the 13th for our first date. I mean, what does that even mean?”
“That he wants to go out with you.” Which is more than I can say for myself. Hungover, still leery of tight spaces. The only reason I can think of for why she’s dragged me into this fitting room with her is to show off a body I’ve always been envious of.
Yet she says she’s cursed.
I don’t tell her about last night. I’d rather forget it ever happened. But the truth is… Even as I try to push it from my mind, I can’t help but get this sinking feeling…
That I left someone down there to die.

A to Z Challenge theme: A Drabble for a Tag
This year, I’m giving you 26 drabbles or 100-word stories (this one went slightly over) using some of my favorite unused or underused tags.
Today’s tag is “Friday the 13th.”
Read previous: “E” is for “Edgar Allan Poe.”
Read next: “G” is for “Grace.”

Other than sleep with Mr. Mysterious? I don’t think she even knows. She can’t trust her mind right now.
