“Woke up one night from the sound of something breaking. So, I walked out of my room to check it out, although, my wife was already gone, so I thought she probably dropped something in the middle of the night. Went back to bed. Woke up again maybe 3 minutes later to something that sounded like a screech. I don’t know how to describe it. I got up and went to check it out again…. Saw my wife with her throat slit on the kitchen floor. Of course, I was devastated. But then, I remembered, ‘shit! Where are my sons?’ So, went to their room……. Only one of them was still breathing. I.. picked him up, and tried to comfort him.”

”hey, hey, hey… stay with me, buddy, come on!”

James’ son was in a state of shock.

”d-dad… it.. I-it hurts….”

tears were streaming from his eyes.

”I know, buddy.. just push through it! It’ll be over soon, I swear!”

“I want… I want mommy…..”

James applied pressure to his son’s gaping wound on his chest.

”mommy isn’t here right now, Owen! I got you!” He knew that was a lie. He knew exactly where she was.

James’ arms were coated red with his son’s blood.

”dad… it… it w-was…. It was a….”

Owen fell silent, his body going limp.

”…Owen? Son! Come on!!”

James tried to resuscitate him, to no avail.

”god.. DAMMIT!! FUCK!”

James held is head in his hands. He failed.

he sat there for what felt like hours.

who… did this..? He thought.

he turned around, only to find a large humanoid cat-like creature.

WHAT IN THE…? He froze.

the animal pounced at him, before James ducked down before it could tackle him.

SHIT! I gotta get out of here! He thought as he ran out of the room.

i gotta get my gun! What the hell even is that?
