I thought it might be entertaining to have people post one sentence (allowing at least one person to post between your post so nobody posts two sentences in a row) to build a story about a monster. Let's see how far this one gets....
The heavy fog was just lifting from the autumn ground, when off in the distance a scream cried out......
. . . EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! "YORKSHIRE SLASHER" STRIKES AGAIN! GET YOUR PAPER!
....Vincent, a distinguished older man quickly approaches the paperboy, handing him a coin and snatching up a paper with a smile on his face.
Oops! Mine was more than one sentence!
The older man casualy walks away from the boy and heads down a bum filled, dark alley, between two older brick buildings.
As Vincent (the older man) steps foot into the dark alley, he looks down at one of the bums who sits up against the wall with glowing red eyes.....
Meanwhile....a mysterious cloaked figure watches the events unfold below his perch on the rooftop high above the alley...
The mysterious cloaked figure claps his hands 3 times, and the bum with the red glowing eyes jumps up and grabs Vincent.......
very angry at the multiple sentences he had received, only one of which he had not been guilty of.
Without warning, a hearse pulls to the front of the alley where an angry looking English professor exits the hearse while waving his arms in hysterics......
Upon spotting the Professor...the cloaked figure begins to fume with rage and pulls a vile from inside his cloak and hurls it toward the frantic Professor.....
Immediately, Vincent is unable to move, but is still aware of his surroundings.
As Vincent stands motionless, the vial explodes on top of the hysterical English professor's head causing him to catch fire as his flesh melts down to his bones where he then crumbles to dust.
Hearing police whistles and the sounding of runnin Bobbies...the cloaked figure summons his "men" and vanishes and lighting flashes across the sky.....
Vincent snaps out of his frozen state, and watches as the bum with the glowing red eyes escapes up a fire escape ladder towards the cloaked figure.
As the police men slide to a halt next to Vincent....the Sargeant orders two men to go after the fleeing bum has he turns to address Vincent....
The Sergeant looks at Vincent and says "What the hell just happened here?"
"I don't rightfully know...Sergeant...I was walking down this alley when that crazy fellow your chaps took after came at me......"
The Police Sergeant hands vincent his card, just as the other police return from chasing the red eyed glowing bum telling the Sergeant the bum and cloaked figure got away.
Meanwhile down by the water front, a "lady" strolls by a few gents, in an attempt to peddle her wares
"Blimey...look Ollie.....she would make for a fine time...don't you think?"....
"Indeed she would. Let's have a talk with her and see what she's really up to.
Glancing back...she gave them a come-hither look and backed down a rather dark alley...
The pair gave something of a sordid glance at one another. "I'm really rather tempted to follow her you know" quipped Ollie.
They then smiled wryly at each other, nodded and proceeded after the rather seductive little creature.
As the two gents start to follow the lady into the alley, she turns and smiles as her eyes glow red.....
One of the gents opens his coat, and reaches inside.
*CENSORED* ;D
He slowly pulls out a small, brown bottle of high grade chloroform.
...then reaches into his back pocket for his handkerchief, wrapping it up into a ball and pouring a modest amount into it. All of this while smiling in a most sinister way.
A hulking shadow moves through the darkness, the only sound being an occasional scrape of a machete blade on the wall.
The seductress saw what was going on in the corner of her eye and began walking with a bit more conviction.
The scraping sound grows louder and louder, the shadow grows larger and larger as it neared the now mentally wayward gents with a vastly quickened pace... An ungodly shriek then fills the night silence...
They barely saw the figure who slashed at them from the shadows.
Ollie managed to elude the shadowy unknown, leaving his friend at the mercy of the shadowy figure. All thoughts of the girl were a memory as he made a quick and frightful escape, stopping momentarily to catch his breath and cover his ears from the shrieking terror.
Ollie thought he might be going mad when he glimpsed a familiar sight.
It looked like the 'bum", who was mysteriously cloaked once again and rcognizable by his dreadful, reddish- yellow eyes.
Now completely panic stricken and without afterthought, Oliie began breathing heavier and heavier, persperation soaking his horrified face though he were carrying a great weight upon his torso. His chest pounded, his head throbbed. His legs felt like lead weights and he found himself paralyzed.
A final scream was all that once occupied the space where Ollie stood.
The girl, meanwhile, stood watching with a rather sinister and gleeful expression put on her lovely, but worn face and watched the entire episode unfold- then went about her "business".
She turned and strode quickly and silently, her face an emotionless mask. She knew that all that had transpired so far would be for naught if she didn't reach her destination in time.
All that remained of Ollie was his tattered shoes, a small piece of cloth and a spot of blood where he once stood.
Little did the Sgt. know that the very men that he dispensed to investigate were no longer of this earth, while in the interim the "lady" continued on with her silent and sneaky walk to a place only she knew.
Out of the night the lady approached a lighted doorway. She reached out her hand, and slowly turned the door knob...
.. a trio of black cats wearing glow in the dark collars raced by her, almost tripping her and then she heard heavy footsteps down the hall .. coming closer and she got a whiff of Cool Water by Davidoff and knew that ....................
The slimy landlord had been around, and had found out her secret of keeping the cats in her apartment without permission, and she knew that this ment in order to keep a roof over her head she would....
... have to seduce the landlord, using every and any means at her disposal but the guy was such a Yuppie and she suspected him of doing away with his mother-in-law as her BMW 7 series was parked in the driveway since Christmas. She sighed, worked up her courage and ....
...unbuttoned her shirt, exposing her sweaty neck and just enough cleavage to attract the attention of most any man. She felt a cool breeze on her skin, took out a white handkerchief and wiped her face a bit. While regrouping her thoughts, she leaned over slightly and started to smile while looking at the trio of felines which that she loved so much. She wondered what would happen to them if she didn't do what she was planning...
She walked over the the wretch's door, summoning up all the courage she could, she reached out to knock on the landlord's door....knock...knock...knock...
The sound of something heavy moving on the other side of the door was followed by a partly surprised voice saying "YES!?! ... succeeded by slow footsteps.
Someone began to fumble with the lock on the other side, loudly sliding the bolt and turning the rusted knob.
The dim light coming from the top and bottom of the door was barely enough to illuminate the dim hallway where she bravely stood.
