They came from the fog (Horror)
You are a teenager at home with your parents living in a two story home in a remote area in Iowa. On a normal night your were still awake when your parents came to tell you they were heading off to bed as they always did. Around eleven o clock you decided you needed to go to bed so you can wake up for school the following morning. Before you crawl into bed you look out your window and notice a thick fog rolling in bathing the country side in mystery, a scary but normal sight for the region. After being asleep for two hours you wake up too a tapping sound, tap tap, tap tap, you expect it to be a branch from the tree in front of your window tapping the wall so you fade back into a dreamy sleep. But it does not last long as you think to yourself theirs that sound again, you look out your window and notice there is no wind but the fog is so thick it appears as if your home was swallowed by it, and the usual sounds of wild life completely vanished adding to the thought of being swallowed and torn from reality by the monstrous fog. You head downstairs to the first door on the left from a front door perspective which is your parents room as you think maybe they are still up and making these sounds, you slowly draw the door back to peak in you see their silhouettes in bed as usual. The mind pounding tap tap, tap tap, beat their way into your eardrums, at this point you decide you must find the source if you ever want to get sleep. So you head outside barely able to see in front of you your pulse quickens a cold sweat of fear begins to muster over your body as you search but to no avail, the sound stops you feel much better to get out of this nightmarish fog and finally get some well deserved sleep. As you near the ascent of the stairs a small wind kicks up. the sound returns in a fit of rage you dash out into the fog, it sounds close you think to yourself. What you see next is something a veteran of war would gag at, your parents dangling from the tree, hanging from their own intestines, chewed and clawed on blood covering their entire body, no human could of done this. As you take this in and discover the tapping sound was their feet hitting the wall in front of your room a more horrifying thought enters your head the blood on your parents corpses is dry they have been here for awhile, but.... you just checked on them, you get light headed and sick to your stomach your heart stops as you hear the creaking of the door to your parents room opening........(the end)
P.S. This is meant to be short with enough detail for you to understand what is happening, and you should use your mind to fill in the lesser details. I like to appeal to different readers, but my next story the bone maw will be quiet long in a first person aspect as well.
