" he said. "Why? You don't even know me." I said"Because I been waiting for you my whole life." he said looking at me.I sat there speechless and caugh... off guard. "What? Are you crazy? What the is wrong with you?" I said as I stand up . He stand and turn to face me and said "I been looking forward to the day I fall in love with someone and here you, my love."He started to walk towards me while I kept backing up until my back hit the wall. He had me pinned against the wall."Don't run from me my. " Vicky said."There is that. Only I can guarantee that Candy's problems won't come back alive to haunt her." Helen said with a laugh.At this point, the subject of their conversation wandered into the room from upstairs and waved. "Just a second," Candy said as she grabbed a cup and poured some juice. "Helen, what's for breakfast?" Onion, sausage, peppers diced and paprika and some salsa. Set over toast. We need some sourdough bread. Put it on the list." Mm. Sounds great. Vicky, do you want me. "My God," gasped the woman, "My God." She held her hands to her mouth as if she was going to vomit. Her eyes were wide and staring at my dripping bayonet. I took a step toward her, but then we heard more stomping on the stairs, and I turned just as the young officer jumped over the bleeding body in the doorway and lunged at me with his saber, yelling something. I ducked down to one knee as the blade whistled over my head and pulled the trigger. The half-inch ball went in the base of his throat. He knelt to the floor and swabbed it up with one finger. It was thick. Some sort of slime. He looked up as an entire blob of ooze collapsed on him. He tried to scream for help as the ooze turned white. But his screams didn't make it past the ooze. He cried out harder when his flesh began to hurt. He realized his clothes were gone and his flesh began to turn red. The entire ooze turned red as the creature digested the man in a matter of seconds. A little bigger now the ooze slid down the hall.
