what lies beneath

THE CREATURE

This nightmare... It started wit... Well I'm not sure how, when, where or why for that matter, but I can tell you what... What is exactly the word I would use to describe that disturbing, haunting creature. Just thinking about it send shivers of sheer terror trembling down my spine. The nightmares from my encounters with this creature haunt me to this day, although years have past. This creature... More of a monster now that I think about it... Well it has this ghastly pale skin. Almost as if it hasn't seen the light of day in a million years.... Honestly it would not surprise me with the knowledge I now hold. It is so scrawny that it's own flesh is pulled tight over its own bones. It's surprising that it's bones hasn't ripped through its leathery flesh. This creature is gigantic... A good seven feet tall when it rears up on its hind legs. It usually walks on all four legs but upon several occasions I have seen it rise upon its hind legs and walk like a man rather than a beast. I've watched as it sank its black and yellow stained teeth into its unfortunate victims tearing away chunks of flesh and meat....that sight alone haunts my dreams. What little hair this creature has is thin and greasy, disheveled, and grows in small patches on its head. It has yellow eyes that glow in the dark even in the darkest moonless nights. It's teeth...for the love of all that's holy...those teeth rotting away stained yellow and black from neglect and red from its victims blood, with gray rotting substance stuck between its teeth which I can only assume is the remainder of it's past meals. The creatures stench is the most foul stench my nose has ever had the extreme displeasure of ever smelling... It makes a landfill smell like a field of flowers in comparison. It's screech is almost unbearable to hear... so much so that it is almost drives those who hear it insane. When it speaks.... Which I have found to be rare... It speaks in a low and raspy. It's terrible claws are stained by blood, long as knives, and sharp as razors. I have observed it carving strange symbols into things with its claws. I don't think it is one of a kind... There are dozens in this state alone... And in who knows what other states or countries. Now that I have described it as best as I can I can begin telling you my story with this monstrosity. READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK... If you dare.... As I said earlier in not sure when it where it started or how for that matter but I will go back as far as I can. For the sake of who ever may be reading this.... I plead and beg you with heartfelt tears in my eyes... Do not make the same mistakes I made.... Save yourself from this nightmare while you still can... I would not wish this upon my worst enemies....
