The Screaming

The Screaming

It was a cold summer night when John finally got home from the party. He was exhausted so he just went into his old grey house and collapsed onto his bed and passed out. Later that night he woke up suddenly startled by the sound of footsteps outside. He got up and looked around his room and in the corner of his eye he thought he saw something. John slowly glanced over, “There’s nothing out of the ordinary over there just calm down.” he thought. He decided that is would be best too just go back to bed and he did. Just as John was falling asleep he heard something that instantly woke him up. He got up and thought “Did I lock the door?” and then proceeded to walk down the hall right outside of his bedroom door to his front door. “Oh yeah I’m gonna have to walk by the guest room,” he said too himself quietly. John turned on the light in the hall and as he did he saw something run past the hall from the kitchen to the living room. He jumped back startled and yelled, “Whos there????” and to his surprise, he heard someone crying in the living room. He thought that whatever was in there could be dangerous so he slowly walked back too his room not looking away from where he saw the creature. It felt like an eternity but John eventually made it back to his room where he kept his shotgun he used for hunting. He grabbed it along with a few shotgun shells. As he walked into the hall he saw the creature run into the guest room down the hall. John had always felt like something was watching him whenever he was in that room and now he knew why. He thought he should make sure that there weren't more creatures in his house so he quietly walked past the guest room and peered in too see a tall slender creature with pale skin staring back at him. He slammed the door shut and right when the door had closed he heard something behind the door scream and then he heard the same crying that he did earlier. He ran into the kitchen where he knew the creature was before the first time he saw it. John looked around the kitchen after he turned on the lights. He saw that the fridge door was open. He noticed that all the rabbit he had hunted was gone along with every other piece of meat he had. John decided to grab a knife that was sitting on the counter. He then walked into the living room were he froze after turning on the light. The room was covered in blood and a body similar to the creature in the guest room laying in the corner with a huge hole in its head and stomach. He threw a pencil laying on the ground at the body with no response so he knew it was dead. He froze as he heard a dog Bark in pain and realized that he had put his dog Fred in the guest room before John went to the party. John ran into the hall where he saw the creature covered in blood hunched over eating something. John stepped back in fear, as he did so the creature stopped. The creature suddenly spun around and stared at John. The creature stood up covering its face while starting to scream. The scream was rising in pitch and eventually got so high pitched that it hurt Johns ears so much that he had too run to his car and lock himself inside and start the engine. Then the screaming stopped for a second and then started again but 3 times louder as if it were a battle cry. John heard rapid running going in his direction from his house so he started driving away as fast as possible. He looked back to see the creature running after him quickly gaining speed. John shot at it with his shotgun. He realized it wasn’t loaded when nothing happened when he pulled the trigger. He quickly reached into his pocket to discover that his shells had fallen out as he got into the car. At this point, the creature had gained so much speed that it was right behind him. John realized that he had the knife he grabbed earlier with him. He threw it at the creature. The knife lodged into the chest of the creature but it didn’t seem to notice. The creature, outside of the open car window started running into the car as if to make it crash. After 3 failed attempts to crash the car, the creature just RIPPED the door off and dragged John out. It stopped and started to eat John. Johns neighbors woken up by all the noise came out of they're houses too see a creature eating their neighbor. The thing stopped what it was doing and turned around and saw all the people staring at it. The creature screamed so loud the other towns next too it heard the scream. “And that son is why we have to stay in this shelter”

The End?
