We lived a mile from a nuclear power plant.

At night while putting out the trash I saw something skitter by out of the corner of my eye.

I clanged together trash can lids, and out ran this thing, this hideous one -eyed creature glared at me menacingly.

It’s fur was white and matted, the pink around it’s deformed lips, curled into a grin that sent chills up and down my spin, I yelled, “Mom, dad, come out quick!!”

The thing, the cyclops ..whatever it was scurried under the deck and out of sight.

“What’s all the noise going on out here,” mom said.

“I.. I saw something it was horrible looking, mom, it had one eye, it.. it was fury white,” I stammered excitedly.

“All right, no more candy for you son, back inside,” dad said.

“Where’s Fluffy?Here Fluffy.. Fluffy,, ?, ” mom called for our cat.
With that evil looking cyclops thing lerking about, I was certain we would never be seeing Fluffy again.
