Him and other stories

guess who?

I sat alone in my bedroom listening to music on my ipod and doing my homework at the same time. suddenly little hands covered my eyes and a little voice shouted "guess who?"

"I don't know" I replied and my little brother giggled "is it the dog?"

"nope?" he replied stifling giggles

"hmm this is hard. is it the cat?" I asked again

"not even close?" came the reply

"is it my little brother?" I asked finally

"you guessed correctly" he said removing his chubby little hands.

I turned around and tickled him until he was laughing hysterically and rolling on the floor.

"hey Shawn" our mother yelled from downstairs "come get dinner with me"

my little brother Shawn got off my bed and ran to the door.

"wait what about violet?" he said screwing up his adorable face.

"violet is staying here and watching the house" my mother replied and Shawn bolted downstairs.

I heard the car leave and continued with my homework. after about an hour I heard the front door open and little footsteps rush up the stairs. on cue hands covered my eyes.

"Guess Who?" growled a voice

strange I thought it doesn't sound like Shawn but he's probably disguising his voice.

"hmm... is it a wolf?" I said playing along

"nope" he sneered

"is it my mother?" I asked

"no. you get one more chance" he said

"ok. is it Shawn?" I grunted

"haha wrong again" the thing laughed

"huh?" I spun around only to come face to face with a child sized creature. pus oozed from numerous places on its body and book dripped from its eyes,  mouth and nose, it's hands had claws and it's skin was a mix between grey and green. it smiled revealing sharp teeth.

"you lose" it laughed and hooked it's claws in my eye sockets tearing me apart before devouring me.

"you're mine now" it whispered in my ear before the pain became to much and everything stopped.
