this morning #2252.

this morning, she was awoken far too early by a low, droning sound. some sort of rumble that’d ever so slowly shaken her awake. she rolled out of bed, put on some pants & headed downstairs to investigate. the photos that hung on the stairway wall were rippling a bit. as soon as she reached the bottom & turned the corner, the source of the sound came into focus. electricity. the light in the kitchen was flickering like a scene from a bad dream. before she went further, she scoured the immediate area for an acceptable weapon. settled on a long umbrella & crept forward toward the pulsing light with the umbrella raised up high. she peeked into the kitchen & what she saw was an indescribable evil. it noticed her & didn't even wait. leapt right across the room & ate her face.
