braut rose from his deep slumber and stretched. as he sat up he fully scanned his surroundings, he quickly realised things werent as they shouldve been. his miniscule apartment seemed to almost be even smaller. except the corridor to the bathroom and brauts bedroom, which seemed to have expanded for miles. braut began to doubt what he was seeing, continuously rubbing his eyes. "this can't be real" he thought to himself as he slowly stood up approaching his coffee table, in an effort to find his phone. it was hopeless. braut began to slowly strut towards the corridor, as he got to the foot of it he heard a crash come from the bathroom. he soon realised there could be an intruder. braut wasnt fearful however, he was quite a large man who knew how to handle himself. so , he composed himself and began his journey down the winding corridor. bad choice. it started to become apparent that whatever had found its way into brauts apartment wasnt a human, more likely an animal of some sort. this made him more confident in his approach to the room. yet again, another bad decision. as braut eventually found himself at the entrance of the bathroom , he quickly became less cocky in his ways as he heard the most blood curdling sound. it was almost as if someone had taken a fork to a chalkboard and given it a voice box. braut was no less than taken aback by this discovery , and chose to make his way back to his living room when the voice struck again, time spewing out some barely recognisable words . which were " long time no see braut! ", this sent a shiver through his spine. he hadnt encountered her in  years, why had she suddenly decide to come back for a visit. especially after the week brauts had , it's the last thing he needs. his walk back to the living room rapidly became a sprint, he covered the whole corridor in a quarter of the time it took him to walk it. braut turned to see if he she was there , she was nowhere to be seen. he was in the clear. or atleast he thought, silly chap. as he turned in a scramble to get to the door there she stood, not overwhelming tall but her bloodshot orange eyes , long thin greasy black hair , razor sharp grimy set of teeth and nails and her grotesque body shape made up for it. she laughed , the most   horrifying laugh ever heard in the existence of mankind. " MISSED ME ? " she screeched , almost piercing brauts eardrums. " i can't say i have " he replied , his response turned her expression from happy to angry within seconds, as if she was bipolar . braut quickly realised the mistake he had made and tried to pull a runner back down the hall, it was no luck however as her grotesque body began to gallop on all fours after him. she quickly gained on him and swiped out his legs, braut turned in a flash to see the lady stood over him and her jaw dislocated like a snake. he realised this was it, his luck had ran out. she went for the kill.
