A dullahan in the forest with a sword

    by: Unknown
It's a Friday evening in spring, and you find yourself walking through a forest nearby to your apartment building. It is rather calming. The light breeze ruffles the new leaves.

Suddenly, the calmness is interrupted by footsteps. You freeze instantly. You look behind you to see nothing. When your view returns to face front, you are met with a figure in the moonlight. In rather revealing clothing, that doesn't look modern of any sort, a woman stands before you. However, there is something very different about this woman. She has no head!

Her neck ends most the way up with skin covering what you would've expected to be a bloody sight. While odd, you feel slightly more at ease. Until you see what she carries. The headless woman moves toward you with a large sword at her side. You feel like she would be smiling if she had a head. You try to move, but part of you is petrified with fear and the other part can't wait to see what happens. Her speed picks up as she holds the sword up, readying it.

With one large swing, you feel the cold blade start to cut through your neck. Time seems to slow down as the dullahan works on separating your head from your body. There was no pain, and in fact it feels almost "blissful". Time feels to resume as the sword makes its exit.

With the swing concluded,

You have the following choices:

1. You land and roll away

2. Other
