Humans Can Lick Too

One night a young girl was left alone for the night in her country house, while her parents drove out to town for a party. This was fine with the girl, especially since she had her faithful dog Scout protecting her through the night.

She made herself something to eat and sat down at the kitchen table. Turning on the radio to her favourite station, she was surprised to hear a news bulletin declaring that a murderer who has escaped from jail was on the loose. It advised people to make sure to secure/lock windows and doors as a safety precaution. With her dog by her side, the young girl locked the front and back doors, went from window to window and locked each one of them. She made sure that everything was locked and reassured herself that she would be fine with her trusty dog by her side and that her parents would be home soon.

So the young girl had a pleasant and peaceful evening. She finally decided at around 11 o'clock that it was time for her to go to bed. She went up the stairs to her bedroom and slid under her big, warm blankets on her bed. Before closing her eyes she reached her hand down under her bed and allowed her dog to like it; she did this every night because it comforted her.

A short while later she awoke to the sound of dripping "drip drip drip". She sat up and listened again, she didn't hear anything else so she laid back down, stuck her hand under the bed and the dog licked it reassuring her that her dog is still there. She let out a sigh and went back to sleep. An hour or so later she sat up in bed and she heard the dripping sounds again "drip drip drip". She sat up and decided to go look in the kitchen to see if the tap was leaking. She crept quietly and slowly down the hallway, tip toeing down the stairs and into the kitchen but the tap wasn't leaking, in fact it was turned off tight. She then went to the upstairs bathroom and when she was quietly walking up the stairs the sound appeared again "drip drip drip."

As she approached the upstairs bathroom the noise was getting louder and louder. When she finally went into the bathroom the tap was also firmly turned off. But the noise was louder than ever, she moved the shower curtain and to her horror Scout was hanging upside down from the shower rod, skinned and a pool of blood had formed on the shower tiles.

She screamed in fear and ran to her bedroom and flicked her lights on and on her wall written in blood was....

"Humans can lick too"!.
