Dead Above Ground
"I'm not sure, but I think something is wrong with Grandma!!
Last words spoken before Grandma crept up behind him and turned his lights out permanently!
"I was overcome by a horrific smell of death and decay, as I stepped into the darkened parlor. Slumped over in a chair was a figure shrouded in darkness, as it slowly turned it's head to face me I realized that this thing was no longer my dear Grandma!
"Grandma!" As she raised her head, our eye's met, my blood ran cold with fear. This creature that stood before me was not the sweet Grandmother I loved. Lumbering slowly, this beast approached me, snapping and biting at the air...I stood frozen in fear!
In the dim light of the kitchen, a small dark human form sat with it's back towards me.... "Granny," I whispered softly. The form swung around quickly and I saw it was was indeed Granny, but not her, this was something dark, evil, and dead.
"Granny we thought you had passed on," She turned slowly and we realized she passed, but she was now back!
