When I first was reading about the relaxing bathtube atmosphere, I was thinking oh I wonder if she is a murderer, and we are going to depict this scene of someone relaxing after their "work" was done. The needle stings were definitely painful to imagine. I think I would only change the last sentence. It was a little bit cheesy after such a chilling end. I would have actually just ended it with the paragraph before. No need for another concluding sentence.

This is a really imaginative and horrific response to the prompt! The shock of discovering that a prime source of comfort and relaxation suddenly becomes the means of someone's demise is really impactful.

At least she got clean. Ha!
Seriously, this is a great hrrr story.

I would watch the overuse f the word 'homes'. It was slightly distracting that it was used so much. This paragraph has it twice:

From quaint homes to sprawling estates, the air was pierced by the chilling sound of screams. Each one echoed through the streets, a haunting reminder of the unseen terror that had invaded their homes.

Maybe switch a couple out for similar words. Just my two cents.

Intense exciting thriller. Great read.
