     "Go on. Scram!" The police officer said shooing the man away like he was shooing away a dog begging for food. He had been homeless for a year now and had learned the ins and outs, but last night he was so tired that he passed out on the bench.

     He walked toward his alley and went to lay down, but then he saw something glimmering under a torn sheet. "Whats this?" He picked it up, and examined it in the palm of his hand. It seemed to be a talisman of some sorts. "More garbage." He said as he threw it to the ground and went to walk away but then the glimmer stopped.

          It was replaced by a terrible vibrating and shrill sound that left his ears numb. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Then everything went silent the, talisman, completely dark now, was slowly growing into a dark mass. Then as it made a shrill shriek it launched at the man and clawed down his throat. "What the hell was that. Ack!" the man was enveloped by the dark mass which was now taking the form of a tall man in a trench coat. "Well that was fun." the creature said while looking up at a window. Through the window he could see a young woman. " There you are. I'm back for you."
