Behind the door

The floorboards groaned like a menacing beast. I stepped forwards. My heart raced. Sweat poured. My hands shook. I leaned forwards to open the door. Someone beat me to it. The door creaked open. My heart skipped beat. I saw dark eyes watching me from the corners. It was the cat. It was October the 31^st. I was out trick or treating. I was in for a trick with a deadly end.

The shadow in the night

-->

The sweaty grip on the sword tightened as a mournful wail, rose out of the dark forbidding forest... The noise came again but this time to the right.

The man had originally set out to hunt the beast, but now he knew... it was hunting him!
