Synopsis: A boy's frustration with his grandparents's illusive nature to his questions boils over, and the reaction he is met with from them is beyond anything he ever could've comprehended.
NOTE: I wrote this when i was much younger, so the writing isn't terribly good, but nonetheless the concept is creepy, and i hope you enjoy it!
As they continued to delay their answers and dodge my questions my anger continued to rise. My other siblings meanwhile were sitting down quietly at the table also witnessing the feud intensify. As my anger continued to boil, I started advancing on both of my grandparents, as i advanced they backed up. Eventually i had backed them up into the corner of the kitchen. They continued to deny that anything was wrong, and i continued to pry.
Grandfather stepped in front of grandma, and began to speak firmly to me and he said,
"Now listen boy, I don't know what you're trying to get at here, but whatever it is DROP IT!"
However just as he finished speaking i picked up the nearest plate on the table, it almost slipped out of my hand, it felt wet, it might've been because it could've been heated up by the microwave, but we wouldn't have known because we were in the other room when they had been preparing the food. I picked up the plate as quickly as i could, making sure not too so fast so that it would slip out of my hand. Once i had it in my hand, i threw it at grandpa.
And this is when it gets weird, REALLY weird.
When the plate full of food, hit my grandfather, both of my grandparents disappeared into what seemed like dust. I quickly backed away from the table, to see under the table without being too close to the table, if they had decided to hide than take a swing at me.
I backed up, All of a sudden something shot out from under the table, into the direction that was obstructed from my sight by the pillar in the kitchen. I was so awed at and confused by the fast moving thing that at first i didn't even realize the disfigured creature that had begun to emerge from under the table next to my sibling who as soon as the creature began to emerge leaped from his chair backwards and ran to the wall and pressed himself against the wall, paralyzed in fear staring at the monster.
The creature that was emerging from under the table had the same clothing on that my grandfather had had on. But it wasn't my grandfather. Or at least this disfigured version of him did not have any features of the one i had been talking to only seconds before.
The creature emerged from under the table. It was the body of my grandfather but, it wasn't my grandfather.
My grandfather's/the thing's skin was sagging wretchedly from the creature's face. Where his eyes had been was no longer, visible due to the amount the skin was sagging. The skin covered where his eyes should have been. The bottom of his eyelids sagged down, to not show ugly gross red veins and muscle, but just black sockets. The skin, which had been wrinkly and sagging before my grandfather had disappeared was now ten fold what it had been before.
The skin appeared to be like a costume that was ordered in a size too big. The skin appeared to be rubber, like the mask of a halloween costume. The creatures mouth was opened in a maw. That only loosely still clung to, whatever was under that skin. The creature that had been my grandfather no longer had arms for the arms on his shirt swung loosely along with the bottom of the creature's jaw as the creature moved in the bizzare way it did. My Grandfather appeared to have shrunk because the creature as it moved closer and closer to me, his pants dragged on the floor. There was nothing below where his knees had been.
Now the Creature had cleared the table and was now headed for me.
The way it moved was the weirdest thing ever. It appeared to lift itself up on whatever now was its shorter legs which now were where his knees had been. It moved in a peculiar way. In which one leg of the creature would slide/drag the leg to an extent than manuver its leg or whatever was under the pants in a way that shot the part of the leg that was not being used forward to in front of it. Then the same process would continue for the other leg. Only this was happening at an alarming rate.
I was so shocked and paralyzed by what it was that i barely had time to react before it reached it.
I grabbed a chair that was closest to me and tried to joist the creature back with the legs of the chair but it was no use. And it didn't appear to affect the creature, it just continued to advance towards me.
As the creature passed me, i rotated my body so that the legs of the chair were always pointed towards it. Until the creature rounded the island in the middle of the kitchen. I back away from the island just to make sure the creature wasn't going to jump over the top and leap at me. But it didn't then it was over.
