Moon: Part 2
She rushed into the kitchen and grabbed the landline. However, she forgot that the landline was not installed yet. Panicking she frantically searched the living room for her cellphone. After about ten minutes of searching everywhere she could possibly think of she stopped to take a deep breath.
“Okay Jennifer you’re fine don’t panic… I mean you don’t understand what happened anyways. Maybe it’s fine… what would you say anyways ? Who are you going to call? The ranger station? The police? Who do you-“
Jennifer heard footsteps upstairs. She froze just listening to the footsteps go from room to room. The footsteps were heavy like somebody was wearing really thick leather boots. Jennifer decided to hide in the pantry.
The stairs started to creek and she could smell whoever it was; they smelled like cigarettes and beer.
“Come on out I’m not going to hurt you”
The man was about six feet tall holding a shotgun. His peeling leather jacket was somehow also stained and his pants had splashes of what look like white paint on them. Aside from his clothing and odor he was a pretty handsome looking older man. His face seemed trustworthy, so Jennifer slowly exited the pantry.
He looked at Jennifer up and down and then began to look all around the room.
“How did you get into my house?”
The man smirked.
“I am Sheriff Clark, you must be the girl that doesn’t understand what a curfew is”
“My name is Jennifer sheriff , sorry I wasn’t told about the curfew… I just wanted batteries for my remote.”
The Sheriff starts to open every draw and every cabinet there is.
“What are you looking for?”
“Jennifer, what do you see tonight?”
“I’m not really sure but I think … I think I saw a giant wolf but it didn’t look like any wolf I had ever seen… It was different.”
“Mmmhmmm, maybe you’re just tired then. There are no wolves here.”
“Tired? Aren’t you going to investigate or something? Don’t you believe me?”
The Sheriff doesn’t respond, he just continues to search the house. He walked into the living room and flipped over the couch cushions.
“Stop! I don’t have whatever you’re looking for?”
“I’m going to say this one more time… maybe you’re tired … because there aren’t any wolves here.”
“I am not tired, I know what I saw. A woman was there. You have to believe me.”
Sheriff Clark sighs.
“I wish you would’ve just caught the hint I don’t want to have to do this but you're new here and we have rules and I can’t have people come snooping around here. It would complicate things and I don’t like complicated.”
“What are you talking about?”
Sheriff Clark points his shotgun at Jennifer. Before Jennifer could react he pulled the trigger. Shot her in the head blowing her face open. Blood splattered all over the walls and her body dropped to the floor.
