I grab my phone and begin furiously texting everybody I know. I take a small pause and look out the window and quickly glance back out my phone. WAIT WHAT WAS THAT? I look back out the window and spot a tall, lanky figure. It looks purple with gray spots. No wait, gray with purple spots. It could be 11 feet at minimum. I watch on awe as it's long limbs reach up and grab a dainty red leaf off a branch. It crumbles to dust in the creatures hand which seems to make it sad. "Hey dad, look." I point at the creature and smile. "Hm? Oh that's a cute squirrel." SQUIRREL? THATS NOT A SQUIRREL! THATS A FREAKIN NBA CENTER! "Squirrel?" I look at him, puzzled. "Yes, that's a squirrel, Leo." I sigh and assume he's just decided to mess with me. I look back out the window and see that more of those tall, skinny things have appeared. One of them has a human in its teeth, blood dripping down it's chin making sickening crunching noises. I gag in utter disgust. They all look the same as the first creature, though their skin patterns are different. Interesting. "LEONARDO CARVER MASON" I jolt in surprise as my brothers voice vibrates through my body. "Huh, what?" "Mom wants to know what you want from the store." "Oh, uh, strawberry shortcake pudding and the vanilla bean sodas I like" he nods and walks back up the stairs, talking to my mom on the phone. It's surprising that my mom is committed to going to the store considering that we just had a magic earthquake. Magic-quake? Well, whatever it was it was a little bit odd. The old, homeless dude always said a bunch of monsters would come. Kinda hoping they won't attack me because I gave him a dollar. Yes, it was crumpled up and kinda dirty and yes my mom gave me the money. Atleast I gave him the money! Oh well. Despite all the hating I do on horror movie characters, I think I should check out the rainbow NBA stars in my front yard
