Martha Jones: A Short Story

Just around 10:30 p.m. Martha Jones prepared herself to get ready for bed. Brushing her teeth, washing her face, and getting into the appropriate clothing. She couldn’t seem to get something off of her mind, she had noticed that for the past couple of days that a strange man dressed in all black had been following her. Tonight the strange and mysterious man followed her home just walking on the opposite side of the street as her, not letting his eyes off of her watching as she enters her home and shutting the creaky door behind her.
Several hours later there’s a loud and obnoxious banging at the door. In a panic she awakes from her sleep rushing to the front door to no one just a pink decorated envelope containing a folded up piece of paper.

The lights in the room flicker on and off as the cool breeze from the open windows touches their faces giving the chills. “BOOM!” they hear a loud bang up above them. Martha lets out a screech covering her mouth to prevent the sound to echo in the hollow room. Suddenly a large harry beast appears in front of them eying Jim he snatched him up in its hands and runs into the direction they were headed. Screaming once again Martha runs after the vicious animal. “POOF” they were gone. Now alone she will have to complete the mission on her
