mind games

I have a pet dog, named Belphie. Her fur is white, soft, and smooth. She loves when I rub her belly and knows how to fetch my slippers for me. Belphie even knows how to play dead! Isn't that adorable? I was taking her on my daily walk in the park, watching her scurry along.

When we got home, everything was normal. Belphie hopped onto the couch and laid down. Glancing down at my watch, I checked that it was almost time to feed Belphie. Looking back up, I screamed. Eyes bulging out of its sockets started at me. Lips pulled back to reveal no teeth and a too big head cocked sideways. Its entire body was as red as wine. Gaping at the saliva drooling out of its toothless mouth, I was filled with extreme disgust and fear. I had never seen something so disgusting. This was a demon and it had to be killed. 

Suddenly, it barked, the same squeaky bark as Belphie's, and came sprinting at me. Breaking out of my shock, I ran. Terrified, I searched for my phone, desperate to call 911. Instead, I found a knife. Holding the knife towards the creature, it paused. I was forced to see its ugly eyes again, and realized the entirety of its bulging eyes had turned pitch black. A red, thick liquid oozed from its right eye, pooling onto the floor. I had to kill it. I had to kill it. I had to kill it. Raising my knife, I couldn't breathe. I shut my eyes and lowered the knife, feeling the blade sink into flesh. Relief coursed through my veins as I realized this nightmare was over. Opening my eyes, I stared at the red knife sticking out of Belphie's white, white fur.
