It was a cold, dreary day in October. Al sat on his couch watching TV. All there was to watch were old horror movies like Halloween and Child's Play. He didn't really like these movies, he preferred something more lighthearted. This was mostly due to him being very religious.

He then remembered that his chickens had to be fed now. As he got up to do so, he noticed something out his window. He could see his chicken coop from there, along with something trying to break into it!

It appeared to be a very skinny, pale, naked man. Without hesitation, he ran outside and chased it into the forest with a shovel. Strangely, it ran on all fours, like a dog.

Al went up to the chicken coop to examine it. All the chickens were okay, but the wiring was clawed. Did this person...or creature have claws?

He turned back to the forest, to see creature spying on him from behind a tree. It ran away again as he approached it. "Come back! Come back!" he called as he pursued it. The only response from it were guttural, unholy squeals.

Halloween was right around the corner, so Al kept trying to reassure himself it was just an elaborate costume. He pursued it further into the forest until he lost it. He took a minute to catch his breath.

As he turned around to go back home, he saw it. Sitting on the ground like a dog, was the creature! It stared at him with it's soulless eyes.  It's mouth was full of 3-inch long black teeth. It had dark gray claws the length of a hand were in place of fingers.

Al now recognized what it was. He knew due to his religious studies. It was a fallen Angel, a demon. He wished he brought his crucifix or his vile of holy water as it lunged at him and ripped his trachea out.
