• An odd day out

    “Ugh, I have to go shopping today,” Jack groaned as he awoke in his small home. He quickly took a shower than got dressed. As he got his shirt fully buttoned up he heard glass shattering, his dog barking, and then yelps. He rushed to the kitchen to find his dog with a strange bite on its hip. “What the hell is going on”? The dog then rushed at him with eyes red and mouth foaming. He ran to his room and slammed the door shut; he heard a thump than silence. Jack slowly opened the door to see that when the dog hit the door he snapped his neck. “Just great now I have to get a new dog to” he said as he walked out the door crying.

    Jack started his car when he saw the police chasing a group of odd animals he shrugged then drove the opposite direction towards the mall. Suddenly, he heard the sirens again. “But they were heading the other way”, Jack said to himself confused. These creatures were different though; they resembled horses but were obviously decaying. They acted as if they hadn’t even noticed him. They rushed right pass him, although some were hitting his car. I have to either get out and run or drive away fast, but before he could move a police car hit the rear of his car forcing him onto the sidewalk and into a street light.

    He awoke moments later, confused about what was happening. “Ok that’s it forget shopping, forget the new pet, it can wait for now I need to get home. The car wouldn’t start because of the damage it had taken. “I guess I’ll have to walk”. He got his keys and started on his way home. Half an hour later he approached his house. Finally this day can end. When he walked in he noticed that his dog wasn’t in the hallway anymore. Jack then got tackled from behind. He flipped his attacker over to notice it was his dog. Or at least it looked like his dog. Its flesh was rotted to the bone. It lunged at him, but barely missed. Jack rushed to the kitchen and got a knife. The dog then got back up and leaped at jack once more. Jack fell back and thrust the knife into the monsters stomach. It collapsed and jack was able to get back up. “I wonder what did this to it”, Jack said looking at the dog then the broken glass from the window, “What if its still hear. Jack turned around to check the house but was stopped by his neighbor. He backed up and saw parts of his flesh missing. It lunged at him and ripped jacks arm off. He screamed with agony and reached for his knife, but remembered that it was still in his dog across the room. The monster then ripped off his other arm and went for the head.
