Dinner Time
by Rita L. Smith
“What are you looking for?” asked an old man.
“Er, um…My dog,” said Katie.
“What kind is it? Maybe, I’ve seen it.”
“It’s a really big dog. You’d remember it if you saw it, Sir.”
“I haven’t seen any big dogs come this way and I have been sitting here for about an hour. I did see a bunch of cats running past. Coming from that abandoned school.”
“Thanks for you help.”
Katie’s heart started thumping as she changed directions. She might actually catch her first werewolf. She patted her pocket for reassurance that she had her handgun with her.
Entering the school through a loose board on one of the windows, Katie heard a noise behind her.
“We’ve been waiting for you,” a voice called from across the room.”
“We?” asked Katie.
“Yes, we,” said a voice from behind her.
The old man’s arms closed around Katie, effectively stopping her from reaching for the gun.
“Boys, it’s dinner time,” the old man said. He patted Katie down removing her weapon as growls closed in on them.
