RED MURDER - A Short Story By S P Lakin. (1).

It was dark when the man went into the house. All was too quiet. It was frightening and horrible.

The man's wife said, "Why did we buy this house as horrible as this?"

"You know that we couldn't look at it beings as we lived 150 miles away from here."

"Yes I know."

"Well let's look around before something dreadful happens."

They went into the kitchen and saw all the appliances that they needed.

"Hey Margret, look at that microwave in the corner."

"It's a Toshiba microwave," said Margret.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes of course I'm sure, it says it there look."

"Oh yes, it does."

The women went over to the microwave and touched the button that opened the microwave door. The door shot open and knocked off a cup by mistake. It smashed into tiny pieces on the carpeted floor.

"Oh dear that was such a nice cup as well. Oh well, it can't be helped."

"Hey what was that?" said the man. "It sounded like a bang then a scream. I'm going upstairs to find out what it is."

The man went up the stairs and he was just passing a door when he heard a big bang.

He turned round and went to the door. He opened it a bit and what he saw horrified him. He shut the door with a bang and ran down the stairs. He grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her out of the house.

His wife said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"I haven't got time to tell you now just get in the car quick."

The man got into the car and turned on the ignition. The car started and he drove down the drive. He was just nearing the gates when they started to close. There wasn't enough room for the car to get through so the man sped up to 90 M.P.H. and went crashing through the gates. He shot onto the motorway and gained even more speed. About 120 M.P.H.

When he was about 30 miles away he slowed down to 40 M.P.H. and said, "Look, there's a café on the side of the road."

"You know that lorry has been behind us all he way along the motorway."

The man pulled up and went into the café with his wife.

"Hey look at the café all vines and stuff."

They went into the café and had a look at the menu.

"Look at the menu and tell me what you want."

"Waiter, can you come over here please?"

The waiter came over to the table, "Yes sir, what do you want?"

"Er, we want a tomato soup and I want the sausage roll and a steak and kidney pie and my wife wants a steak and kidney pie like me and she wants two roast potatoes."

"Do you want a drink sir?"

"Yes please. I want a tea and my wife wants..."

"A coffee," said the woman.

"Oh, a coffee please."

The waiter went off. While the man was waiting he went to the window. He saw that face again and that face saw him again.

The man panicked and shouted at his wife, "Get out of here."

The face disappeared and the man got his wife's hand and pulled her out of the café into the kitchen.

The café door opened and in came the face.

The face like a bulldog that looked as though it had walked through a fire. It had one eye, the other had been poked out and the knife was still in.

The monster's feet made a slime patch as it walked towards the kitchen. Just as the monster was stepping through the kitchen door the waiter stepped in front of the monster.

It pulled the waiters head off like a man could pull up a piece of grass and threw the head at the man and the woman.

Blood splattered everywhere and the head hit he woman and bounced off. She shot off as fast as a leopard and left the man behind.

The woman jumped into the car and the man did as well. Luckily the ignition started the car straight away.

The monster ran at the car and the car managed to pull out of the café drive. He backed onto the motorway and saw the lorry parked out the front of the café.

He shot off at once he sped up to 120 M.P.H. in 4 seconds. He was just nearing the end of the motorway when in his wing mirror he saw the lorry that was after him. He went round the roundabout into a village that he knew lorries couldn't get through and stayed in a hotel for the night.

The next morning Mr and Mrs Small woke up and paid the hotel bills and then they went to the car and as a passing woman if they had got a police station in the village.

"Yes we have. It's down the road, first turning on the right and it's down the road a bit on your left," said the woman.

"Thank you Miss."

Off they went to the police station and they found it without any difficulty at all. They stopped outside and went in the police station. There was nobody in the police station.

"Oh no look, the same slime patches as there were in the café. Quick get out of here," said the woman.

The monster came out from the back of the police station.

"Ahhhh," screamed the woman and shot out as fast as a cheetah. She got into the car and the monster grabbed the man and tore his head off.

The woman started the car and drove as steadily as she could. The monster ran after it and tore the boot off the back of the car.

The woman screamed and put her foot on the accelerator and she sped off and knocked down a lamppost that was moving in the winds and smashed the front of the car. The car slowed down immediately to 10 M.P.H.

The monster caught up car and snapped the door off it's hinges. It grabbed the woman's arm and tried to pull her out of the car but it pulled her arm off instead.

She died of terror and pain.

THE END.
