Shelby's Hideous Monster

Have you ever seen something that you would have never expected to see, something you didn’t even think could exist except in you’re nightmares? Well I did and that’s when my life took a turn to something far more sinister then you or I could of ever imagined…..



My name is Jo. I’m thirteen year old girl, hiding from something not even an army could take down .My life never used to be like this though. I had a normal life with a family that loved me but that’s all gone now. Ever since that dreadful day last year in September. The day itself was like any other day in my life; boring .I was nearly at wits end but one thing kept me going through the bitterly cold dark autumn days. That one thing might seem boring to you, to me it was all I could think about. My favourite author had just published a new book. So when the book came to our local book shop (the burns) I could not contain my excitement. All week I did horrible chores like mucking out our pigs and hens, cleaning the toilet and tidying our garden to earn money .After a lot of backbreaking labour I had my money . The next mourning I shot out of bed and franticly put on my clothes and ran out of our house into a massive snow covered world that I didn’t really fit in to. For about ten minutes I wandered aimlessly thinking about my new book .I took a short cut down an ally way. That’s when I saw it, the, thing. In its material form it was …eeeerrrr….well disgusting .that’s the only way to describe it .It had a putrid yellow puss coloured skin, or at least I hope it was skin with a fiery red, murderous eyes and long pointed teeth protruding out of its stomach turning mouth, both mouth and fangs were dripping blood from the corpse of the elderly lady it was enjoying. It seemed to take a while for it to notice me but in the end it did, by the look in its eyes it seemed that my young flesh was now on the menu. I turned to run but he had already decided that I wasn’t going to get away . I tried to scream but the only sound I could make was a low stutter, at some point while I was running I must of fell because it was on me in less than a second, and at that very moment my fate was sealed …………
