Devil's hour (one shots)

eaten away

Eaten away

     I opened my eyes and found myself standing at the center of the aisle. I looked around and found wooden benches facing towards the altar. A huge cross was displayed by the altar. Then I realized, I'm in the church.

     This church wasn't the church I usually go to every Sunday. I turned my back on the altar and walked toward the huge oak door. I shouldered the door with all my strength. I stepped outside and looked round. It's evening and the place was deserted. The wind was picking up and it blew my bangs from my face.

     Suddenly I saw something moving behind the narrow tree. I walked toward the tree and looked behind it. But no one's there. Maybe it's just a squirrel.

      I turned around. A man--  no a monster, a demon-- appeared right in front of me. His appearance is quite disgusting and vicious looking. He has two huge curved horns, and a tail. His skin was dark and covered with blood. And his chest was hairy. His eyes, his whole eyes were black. His feet were webbed and his hands were like claws. He grinned, showing his yellowish, blood-covered razor teeth. 

      The demon grabbed my shoulders and drew me closer to him. I tried to push him away but he's strong. I screamed but no voice came out of my mouth. The demon licked my neck with his long nasty tongue and slowly devouring me. I screamed even louder, asking for help but no one hears me. The place was deserted.

       Then everything went blank.

     I abruptly sat up, breathing heavily. That was all just a dream. Just a dream. I was sweating badly. I glanced at the clock: 3:00 am. I glanced to my right and found my sleeping mom. I thought she was supposed to wake up at 3. I better wake her up. I shook her shoulders, whispering in her ear to wake up. But she won't wake up. I shook her shoulders once more. She suddenly rolled to her side facing me.

     My eyes grew wide. This wasn't my mom. Not my mom. It's a demon, the demon in my dreams. He smirked greedily and grabbed my arms. I screamed. 

     Suddenly everything went blank. Like in my dreams.
