It was 10:30 p.m. and Mike was already home, sitting on the living room floor of his parents' house. They were out of town for a few weeks on a business trip and asked him to watch the house for them. He was texting the beautiful girl he treated to lunch today.
"You mom is nice, but your dad scares the shit out of me," he texted to her.
A few moments later, a reply came from Rebecca, "I know. He's just trying to ruin my life. Don't pay any attention to him."
"But...he's your dad. What have you got against your own father?"
"It's a long story."
"Well, I don't have anywhere I need to be at the moment." He smiled as he typed the message, hoping that she would open up to him a little, but then he added, "You don't have to if you don't want to, though." Then he sent the message.
While waiting for a reply, there was a thudding noise coming from upstairs. He was home alone, so it could only mean that someone was breaking into the house.
He listened keenly and another thud soon followed. He got up and went upstairs, listening for another thud. He stood in front of his parents' room (the first one on the left) and heard a thud come from inside. He turned the knob, pushed the door open, and ran into the room, but halted when he saw the room's condition. The clothes from the closet were strewn all over the floor. To his left, the dresser laid on its side with its drawers opened. Their contents were scattered on the bed. A cool breeze blew in from the opened window, against his face, and he drew his conclusion that it was a burglary. He went over to close the window and just as he raised his arms, a Clawden jumped in through the window, tackling him to the floor.
He screamed as it stood over him and clawed into the flesh of his chest, ripping out his insides. It slashed at his neck, causing more blood to splutter, and he stopped screaming, his head slumping to the left, eyes still opened. To finish him off, the Clawden sunk its claws into Mike's neck and detached his head from his body, subsequently swallowing it whole.
