The Malicious Gnome

It all started at a place called Pete's Hardware Store. I was leaving to go home after another day of work. "You leaving now Aaron?" said Pete Myers, owner of Pete's Hardware Store. "Just going home to feed my dog, Biscuit like usual Mr. Myers." I said walking out of the door. I then went into my Ford Tempo and started heading home after another long and slow day of work. But this time was different. On my way home I saw a Garage Sale that was close to where I work. I decided to check it out and see what was there to buy. It wasn't that crowded though. About five people were there searching for items placed on tables. What happen to catch my eye was a garden Gnome that was for sell. It was a traditional gnome no different from any other gnome except it had a dark green hat on it. I always liked gnomes for some reason that I decided to collect them and put them in my yard. I then asked a middle aged woman that looked like she was running the entire garage sale how much it was. She said that it was 8 dollars. I then pulled a 10 dollar bill out of my pocket and gave it to her. She then gave me two dollars back and I went back in my car to put the gnome with the others that I have collected over the years.

Once home, I placed it by my two gnomes I had that were named Maxwell and White Beard. "I think I'll call you Shamrock because of your hat" I then look at Shamrock and then went inside to feed Biscuit. Biscuit was waiting patiently by his bowl waiting for his dog food. I fed then place his dog food in his bowl and then realized what time it was. "10:56? Damn I need to go to sleep or else Pete will kill me!" As soon I fed Biscuit. I then went into my bed and started to fall asleep.

I then woke up but realized my dog Biscuit was barking out the window at the direection my gnomes were at. "Fine. I'll let you outside." I then opened the door and let Biscuit outside. Luckily, I fenced the yard in so he wouldn't get out when he was a puppy. I then waited for Biscuit to come back in. I woke up again and realized I had doze off again waiting for Biscuit. But when I called Biscuit back he wasn't responding and then I realized he was gone and there was a hole in my fence. I then opened the gate and went into the woods looking for Biscuit. I then found his body dead just sitting around some leaves. "Oh my GOD! How did this happen?" I said in such sadness and shock. I then went and gathering branches from dead trees and leaves to make sure his body wouldn't be stolen by some animal. I wanted to pay respect to him after I had got home from work. When I went back into my gated yard, I found a drill by my gnome, Shamrock. I sense foul play in this. That somehow someone went into my garage and grab my Hardware products I had and killed Biscuit. Maybe thats why Biscuit was barking. he was trying to protect or warn me...

Once again the day was slow at the Hardware store, but this work day was extremely sad due to me losing Biscuit. After the work day, was over I left to pay respect to Biscuit. I arrived home and parked my car in my driveway. I then went to look at the corpse and saw it was still there though something was different. When I look at his corpse now I saw gorey three holes drilled into his stomach and one in his neck. The body now showed a bloody puddle aound his body. This made me absoluted dumbfounded at how could this happen and who could have don-... I heard an ax. It sounded like the sound was coming from my house. I then ran back to see what had happen. Then I went to see by standing behind my fence. (To give me a head start in case whoever what the person was doing I could run towards the cops) I would never expect what happened next. Shamrock was the one who had the ax and he was slashing my tires. I didn't to run, scream, or do both. I ducked down behind the fence in case he saw me. Shamrock then walked back to where he stood as a garden gnome in the yard. I then went to look at my car and found the tires were deflated and that the ax was by Shamrock. I then took the ax back to the Hardware cabinet. I then went inside and locked my doors. Terrified to see what would happen next.

I was just there in my bed. Too frightened and spooked to sleep. I started to really get scared by the small noises made by the appliances around me. I then listened to a small noise. It sounded like someone was slowly turning a doorknob. I was trying to hold it together to make sure Shamrock didn't know I was awake and that I might suprise attack him. I then heard the door clicked. This really scared the hell out of my life. I then started imagining what the gnome would do to me. Probably cut my throat and slash me to bits so my blood would ooze out all over the floor just to make his day. I then went to my bathroom connected to my and tried to supply myself with somekind of item that could be used to use as a weapon. But nothing was there. All I had was a razor. I then walked into my bedroom. There was a message carved and written on the wall saying "I want you blood and guts to ooze all over the place just to make me smile." I then got creeped out at the message. It seemed that the gnome w-... I then felt a sharp pain in the back of the knee. I turned around and saw that a Chef's Knife had been thrown into my leg. The blood started to squirt heavily like some mist of blood and landed all over the floor. Shamrock appeared from the shadow having a sinister smile and some blood on his face. I pulled the knife out of my leg. The gash went from a squirt of blood to a stream of blood running down my leg. Shamrock then attacked again with a sledgehammer this time and his me in theback of my head. It felt like a bullet had been shot straight in my skull. I felt the back of my head with my hand and when I looked at my hand I saw that my entire was red. The gnome this time went for my other leg. I threw the Chef's Knife at him but only caught it's foot. Shamrock kept pounding hit after hit maliciously into my head to make sure I qould drown into a pool of blood. I began to start losing feeling in my left leg because of the major blood loss. I then tried to elbow Shamrock in my defense. The gnome still kept attacking me though. He then use the sledgehammer to pound my hand "DAMNIT!" I yelled out. I then had to use the last of my adrenaline in me to pull away the sledgehammer. ShamrockThe gnome now was going for my temple but I managed to sue my other hand to even out the strength. I then felt the adrenaline in me and pushed the gnome to the floor. I then grabbed the sledgehammer with my good hand. The gnome went back for Chef's Knife. I then dragged myself while feeling my blood now run down my back and hit the gnome repeatedly in the stomach before it reach for the knife. I then hit it again and again and again yelling.. "DIE DAMNIT DIE!" I then stopped the pounding and saw Shamrock stopped moving. It then started oozing and then its eyes glowed. Out of fear that he might have survived, I kept hammering at him until it didn't do anything any more. Shamrock, the malicious and somehow human gnome had stopped...
