"I'm going into town and old man George will be taking care of you" mother said as she kissed my forehead. Mother then quickly whispered in my ear "be good and I'll see you later." "Don't worry, I'll take care of him good." Old man george said in a scratchy and raspy voice. "Good, I'll see you both in a bit" mother said as she walked out the door. "So young man, what have you been up to sense last I've seen you?" George asked. "Nothing" I quickly replied. I'm not much of a talkative child, I much rather be left alone to my thoughts. "Hmm, alright. Keep yourself out of trouble, I'm going to sit on a chair in your kitchen." George's neck quickly moved to the side with a weird twitch as he moved passed me to a chair. Old man George must be sick, he never usually fidged and thats when I remembered five weeks ago when I saw him hunched over something in a corner. I don't trust him I thought as I walked out into my bedroom to lay on my bed. My house had four rooms two were mine and mother And the other two were a kitchen and a bathroom. I was pretty tired so I began to sleep.
BAM, a big noise snapped me awake coming from the kitchen. I slowly opened my door and quietly went to look down my hall to the kitchen and cupboards were open and there seemed to be things strewn across the floor. What happened? I asked myself as I crept closer to the kitchen. Everything seemed to be dark. All curtains were closed leaving the kitchen dark. A figure stepped slowly back and forth pacing. What did George do? There we wheezing sounds coming from the kitchen as I got closer. Watching where I placed my step. I slowly put my head into the kitchen taking a peek at George.... Or what he became. George was facing away from him but the old clothes he wore were torn and barley covering his body... The same could be said about his skin, peeling and some torn off. Then George started turning slowly. My heart feels like it's going to come out of my chest. I put my head back more but I feel I must see what George... No, this "thing" is. "It is almost is facing me."
