5 Onslaught (25 page)
Authors: Jeremy Robinson
The
bean bag moved.
I
reach for my gun, but find it missing. It’s in the truck.
Haven’t
worn it in two years.
Imaginary creatures and specters don’t normally
pose a threat.
Before
I can think of what to do next, the screen door finally decides to slam shut
behind me. The bean bag explodes with motion, rearing up a round head the size
of a large pumpkin. Two large black eyes fix on me with unwavering focus.
Moving
with slow, measured movements, the bear stands. It’s just about the same height
as me, but is probably upwards of seven hundred pounds. I raise my hand in an
“its okay” posture, like the bear will understand it, and I back away, but I
don’t get far. My back smacks into the closed screen door, which makes a loud
snapping sound.
The
spooked bear huffs angrily, throws itself forward and charges.
