Okay, that is bad indeed.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Best way to show the trope would probably be to have a picture of a deadly-looking monster sneaking up on the people while they're talking (But make sure the focus is on the people). We can infer what happens next pretty easily.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Motion to pull
Doesn't represent the trope at all.
Would the third panel of this comic work, or would it be too misleading?
Panhandling sign glued to hands. Need $5 for solvent.Maybe the two last panels?
Fight smart, not fair.The trope in question has been renamed. Article tag on this thread fixed.
Second the pull.
First key to interpreting a work: Things mean things.Thirding the pull.
The only thing I can think of is a lampshade of Instant Death Syndrome.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Fourthing. Pull that motherfucker. I suggest using one of the HHHHNNNNNG panels from the Hiimdaisy Metal Gear Solid comics.
Always hiding my keys in the bug bucket, you bastard dog.Image pulled.
OH MY GOD HOW DO I FORMAT THIS SHIT?!
I hate picture formatting...
So, if I take the last two brackets off, it doesn't show the caption right, but if I leave them there they show up instead of disappearing with the markup...
WHY?!

I am now known as Flyboy.How about using the only scene people know from Deep Blue Sea (I haven't watched it either)? Part one◊, Part two.◊
This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.Oh, that's perfect. I love it.
That movie scared the shit out of me when I was little...
I am now known as Flyboy.Spoiler, unfortunately.
Ah, if only we were allowed animated gifs.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.Yes, but you still don't want any spoilers above the warning.
Actually, that may render this trope unpicturable.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.Yes, you can't unsee the picture above the line. As long as we put a big blue line between the description and the examples, people can avert their eyes.
Fight smart, not fair.Last two panels of this OotS strip, or are we still too spoiler-y?
Panhandling sign glued to hands. Need $5 for solvent.Possibly too spoilery.
Clock is ticking.
Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
This trope is about someone being attacked and killed by surprise in the middle of a seemingly mundane conversation or interaction. Only the "killed" part is showing in the picture.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.
