Reminds me a bit of a Twilight Zone episode, without the irony on top of the horror. :)

Quite a unique use of the theme, and interesting characters as well. Nice work. :)

I was in that area of Hungary a few years back (never saw or heard of Sand itself, looked it up on the map just now) and they all seemed friendly folks to tourists in the region. Lot of German retirees running small businesses for some reason. I'm sure Stephen King has to tell people that small town Maine isn't entirely populated by serial killers and evil clowns. Nice find of an actual town of the prompt name to set the prompt story in. Great swerve into horror for the ending, I like how you pull that kind of ending off.

Eeegads! Screams and runs! No road trips with Melrick. Nuhuh. No way.

Well-played! I'm not so sure about it this time, but uhm, thanks for sharing?

Ah, clever and wonderful! Of course, Vivi breaks every rule of self-preservation here. As anyone who spent their youth sitting up until the wee hours on Friday and Saturday nights watching the best Hammer Films had to offer knows, DON'T go in there!

Oh, I love thrillers!! Once again, I am in awe of your ability to set things outside of familiar territory and make them feel real. Using a town named Sand was very unique and you're right, I do hope they are much more friendly in reality! I think you could have taken the theme perhaps a little bit further though, perhaps sand on the floor muffling the drip of the blood, similar to how butcher shops use saw dust. Either way, still nicely done!
