As soon as Rachelle finished doing her business, she had begun to
hear horrible shuffling noises. She knew that only one thing in the world
made such hideous noises, and that they were the living dead. But this
sounded bigger, more threatening. Rachelle backed up in the corner of the
stall, closing her eyes, hoping that it was just her imagination. Tyler
said he wouldn't let anything happen to her, and she had believed him. If
there had been any monsters out there, Tyler would have kicked their
behinds for her. Unfortunately, Tyler had been just a little too late for
this one.
The thing that peeled the stall door from its hinges was unlike
anything Rachelle had ever glimpsed in her short life. She hadn't even
seen creatures like this in horror movies, on the rare occasions she was
allowed to watch them. The mass standing in front of her was just that; a
large, almost unidentifiable mass of human body parts and tentacles, and
the entire body was free of hair. The head was ghastly, with one eye
missing, and the other at least twice the size of a normal human eye. The
creature had no nose, but you could tell that perhaps once it had a nose.
The mouth was gnarled, and the teeth looked to be sharper than any blade
Rachelle had ever seen. There was a mangled arm, and misplaced fingers
were any normal arms and appendages should have been. Rachelle had never
even seen anything like this in her nightmares.
Suddenly, the creature lashed out at her using one of his large
tentacles. That's when Rachelle noticed the large blade on the end of it.
She screamed then, and ducked, running out of the stall as fast as she
could. She hid underneath the sink, and screamed bloody murder. She knew
it would only be a matter of seconds before the creature would begin to hit
the sinks in hopes that they would crush her.
