A Touch of Fear

I heard a noise coming from the living room. I climbed out of bed, grabbed my baseball bat that was sitting next to my bedside table, then, went to go see what was making the mysterious noise. As I slowly crept down the hallway, the air around me started getting warmer and warmer. When I entered the living room I could not believe my eyes, a supernatural being, which looked to be made of fire, was just sitting in the middle of the room. The beast had the teeth of a viper, the tail of a scorpion, the stingers of a jellyfish, and the agility of a jaguar.

I stood there for a minute staring at it, but then decided that since it seemed calm to go towards it. It slowly turned towards me, with its head bowed I moved even closer. It was gnawing at something in its hands, but I couldn't tell what it was. I reached out to grab what it was gnawing on, but as I did it quickly lifted its head and bit my arm right off! I stumble backwards and fell flat on my back, in too much shock to react. The beast which seemed calm was horrifyingly dangerous!

While I was still on the floor the beast dropped my arm and what it was chewing on and started eating my legs. I looked over at what was in its mouth before; it was what was left of my father's skull. I screamed for help but no one came to my rescue; not my mother or either of my siblings. I guessed that the beast had eaten them too.

The beast had already eaten one of my arms and half of one of my legs. I frantically searched my pockets for my phone, but I had left it in my room. About five feet away was the side table beside the couch, which had a house phone sitting on it. I tried to crawl over to it, but before I could grab it the beast pulled me into the fireplace. It pulled me up the chimney and onto the roof. It drug me to the well behind my house, in the well I saw skulls and bones of dead people piled anywhere from five to twenty feet high. I was surprised I was still conscious after loosing over half of my blood.

When the beast left I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there, because I obviously couldn't walk anywhere. It returned to the well about an hour later holding the body of what looked to be a young girl in its mouth. The girl was not moving or screaming, I quickly came to the conclusion that she was dead. I felt a jolt of terror run through my body. The horrifying images, the mysterious beast, the blood that was splattered everywhere.

The last thing I remember is the burning pain of the beast gnawing away at my abdomen. I died that night, now I am a ghost that haunts all who enter my house. The beast continues to strike fear in the hearts of people everywhere No one knows where it came from or how to kill it. Some have tried to put the beast's flame out with fire extinguishers or buckets of water, but everything they try only makes the beast stronger. I have renamed the beast "The Fire Demon" for it is made of fire and, like demons, is impossible to kill.
