The Thing Next Door


The thing next door arrived several weeks ago, and since then I have been plagued by its unholy screams.

It inhabits my neighbors’ house, and I know it terrorizes them too because I have seen the exhaustion on their faces and heard the motions they make at night to placate it.

They may not have the strength to remove it from the earth, but I do.

I will sneak in tonight, and I will take the baby.
