The Shed

chapter 3

DARIN POV

I turn the flashlight on.. on my phone.
I step into some poop as I walk towards the shed.
"Shoot."
I pull my jacket closer. The wind is a piercing cold that seems to go right through my jacket.

The shed door is flapping and hitting the side of the shed with a soft bang.

I get to the shed and notice blood splattered on the inside walls. "What is that smell?"

I cover my nose with my jacket. I shine my flashlight around the inside of the shed. In the corner something in the dark is sticking out by the freezer.

I shake my head and sigh. "Dumb animals... Why can't they just stay in the woods?

The blood is from my frozen meats being left out or more like taken out. I walk over to the freezer and open it up. The light in the inside comes on and I jump back.. my frozen meats are still in tack.

I turn and look in the corner slowly.

There's nothing there? But.. but I just saw something? I look around. Where did all this blood come from? I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this so I turn to walk out.

*Laughter

I nearly jump out of my skin. "Who there?!"

I shine my trembling phone behind me. I don't see anything. I shake my head. I'm hearing things.. that's all.

I turn around and find myself in front of a dark figure with a black scarf.

Before I can react he has the scarf around my neck and begins to strangle me while heading back towards the freezer.

Whoever this is very strong.. he keeps the scarf tightened around my neck as he empties the freezer with one hand.

I can't breath..

I can't breath...

I'm gasping for air that I can't retrieve because of the scarf.

I need to do something or I'm going to die.

I remember I have a pepper spray in my back pocket.. of course. Never leave the house without it.

My vision is blurring and I reach back to pull it out..

My face goes pale.. and my eyes slowly close.

It's not there
