Challenge
Twist Ending in 50 words or less.

The creak of floorboards disrtupts the still of the night. A hunched figure lurches through the shadows.

She bursts through the door in the nick of time and collapses to the wooden floorboards. A vile surge of acid and regret erupts from her mouth.
Damn $3 margaritas.
