The Graveyard Girl

Chapter 19: I'm in your Living Room

The picture oozed into a large mess on the floor. Vermon ran out of her mother's bedroom and closed the door behind her. She was about to run into the living room when she saw something waiting at the door. Someone's naked body with different features of a human. It had two left feet, one perfect knee and the other twisted. Two left hands and one perfect arm while the other twisted.

She walked a few feet away from the house, but when she looked back she saw her mother staring out the window. She then saw something behind her mother, staring at her.
