Read Under the Lamppost | Tapas Web Community

Catherine was walking down her road while talking on the phone. "I can't do this anymore, I quit!" She said on the phone, Catherine was talking to her boss, her salary had gone down more than she expected and she couldn't pay her bills with it. She was getting tired and decided to stop by a lamppost, "you can't just quit Catherine!" Her boss said on the phone. "I can, and I will" she said as she left the call. She was upset, but there wasn't anything she could do, the lamp started flickering. Catherine said, "I wonder why that's happening" she looked to her left and saw something. It was moving, carefully as if watching its prey, ready to strike. Catherine just shrugged it off and got up again, "time to go home" she muttered to herself. She suddenly heard a noise above her, she looked up (it really wasn't the best idea).

"Who's there!" A man next door to Catherine said, he looked around and spotted the blinking lamp. Under it was a patch of blood and a bag with a phone in it. The normal thing anyone would have done in that situation was scream, and it's a good thing that man was normal, as he walked up to the blood pool.
