A Full Moon is Upon You! - A Grim Tale...A Story by Stephen OdomA boy finds the creature is not just a creepy Halloween story He stood
there frozen in complete terror. The creature in front of him, the one he
thought could only be from legend was real. It was hanging from the tree by one
of its razor sharp claws; the other claw could easily touch the ground nearly
ten feet away. Its skin was paper thin and looked like it would crack at a
moments notice but its muscles rippled nonetheless under its papery skin. Eyes
the color of freshly spilled blood, fangs reaching over his lips. The creature
dropped down from the tree shaking the cars on the suburb street. The boy had
been mere minutes away from entering his house. The creature sniffed him up and
down his breath smelled of things long since dead. The boy
ran. He was going to die anyway he might as well try to make it home. Not the
most athletic person he ran. Muscles and lungs burning from the exertion of
running at full speed, he couldn’t keep this up until he got home. He needed to
get home; it couldn’t cross the threshold, like many creatures of the night.
But it was useless. Less then fifty feet from where he started running the
creature slid to a stop in front of the boy. Why was this thing real? This Grim.
The creature looked into the boy’s eyes a soul shattering experience as the boy
could now feel the last victims of the Grim, pleading for their lives just as
he was about to do. But the beast didn’t want to wait, its struck in a flash
piercing through the boys torso in a fraction of a second. “Just accept your fate,” it whispered in his ear. Every atom
of the boys existence burned with such pain he couldn’t even process it
anymore. The Grim pulled its claw out of the boy’s body bringing with it his
soul. Looking
down at his body he began to weep. He was dead by this creature’s hand, soon
this thing would eat his body making him watch and then it would finally
consume him entirely. The boy would be reported missing like many did on the
night of a full moon, that is the only time when the Grim could come out of his
hiding spot. Just hope there isn’t one near you. A full moon is upon you soon. © 2015 Stephen OdomReviews
