(VERY) SHORT STORY

A close friend originally came up with this idea, this setting, this character, and the majority of this plot, and so I dedicate this story to that friend. I simply turned it into my own story, written in my own tone, twisting things up a bit; but, really, this is a collaborative work. 

I would love and appreciate it so much if you left comments, suggestions, and/or critiques on this piece. 

Enjoy :)

(Oh, and if you get scared really, really, REALLY easily, then don't read this before bedtime).

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
