"The Lamb"

Having a farm was great. He loved it. It's what he always dreamt of. His wife and kids loved it as well, specially the little black lamb that they had recently bought.

His kids loved the little black lamb, and they played with it for long periods of time. Happy with his wife, he would watch them play while while resting on the rocking chair outside.

Life was perfect for him, it could not get better than this.

One day, he was feeding the animals in the farm. Then he saw that black lamb. It's horns were way larger than they were the day before. Puzzled, he just ignored it. Later that day, he let the animals come outside. But one of them was missing. The black lamb.

He went inside the farm and tried to look for it, and there it was. 

On the very same spot that he left it that morning. But again, the lambs horns were bigger. Big enough not to let it stand anymore. He got close to it and kneeled down to see it. He saw the horns had carvings. They had some type of writing on them along with symbols. One of them looked like a star upside down.

He looked inside the lamb's eyes, and they did not look right. The looked like the eyes of a snake. There were black and red veins all around it. He was worried and could not explain what was going on.

He called the town's priest to take a look at it.

When he came over, the priest said a demon had taken possesion of the lamb and it must be killed so that the demon could not escape.

Later that day, they killed the lamb.

Sad, his children stayed in their rooms for the whole day. He felt really bad but was glad the demon was gone.

At night, when he was sleeping with his wife, his daugher comes inside the room. Jumping with joy. He asked he what was going on and she said;

"Daddy! It's back! The lamb is back!"

Creeped out, he followed the girl into her room, only to find something he would never imagine.

It was his son.

With horns coming out of his head.
