A CONTEMPORARY HORROR STORY
It was five inches by eight inches in dimensions. Thin, extremely so. Two of them in fact, joint by a metallic object. Almost everyone upon seeing it perspired. And the fact that it lasted for almost three hours and recurs sent a chill down our spines. Quietly it creeps up your brains testing the extremities of brain functions. Mostly white but black pieces of carbon sticking on it. Only a handful understood it.
That day when I was in that room with it, oh yes, I remember it distinctly. It was using one of us to annihilate a whole species. One human himself was spreading it. He was quite close now. Ambling inch by inch I had a piece of plastic ready just in case It was closer, even closer. Many of my friends were already infected by its powers. I could see it quite closely now. I had all my weapons ready. My paper plastic pen, I could almost read the first question.
In a time when vampires are dead due to pollution and most beasts are on the endangered species list I feel this is as close to fear I can get.
