MODUS OPERANDI
The bats flapped their wings, moving along in the cool night~ just above a cemetery. A hand emerged out from the ground and then an arm, after a short while- the being pulled itself out from the grave and started walking toward the streets.
In a little while, it arrived at the front door of a small house. The lights were all out, except for the outdoor security lights.
It placed its bony hand on the door knob, & twisted the handle. The door opened and it sniffed the air. Ah, there was a human in the house.
The young lady stretched her arms and placed her head on the pillow. She yawned, and soon drifted off to dreamland.
As soon as she fell into a deep sleep, it came by her bed and smiled. She had covered the rest of her body...it was only her feet that were out of the covers.
It pulled out a blade and with a quick motion it was done cutting what it needed. The being rushed off and shut the front door.
A piercing scream was heard even through the streets. The lady sobbed and stared in horror at her feet. Where were her toes?
