A Creature In Your Refrigerator
You have a refrigerator at home, or two, possibly crammed with an assortment of crap. Even if it's barren, high chances there's rotten onion, or a long-expired can of soda. Or frozen pieces of raw chicken tenders that you've kept for years, still hoping for freshness. And how about that half bottle of red pepper pasta sauce? I'd bet the opening of the bottle is laden with flaky dried sauce, in which your niece would scrape off and innocently taste.
But hold on. There's something else in your refrigerator. Go on, open it!
You reached for the handle, and noticed the ugly fridge magnets. Some were broken in the edges because they simply weren't magnetic enough..
You opened your fridge, and a sudden surge of foul scent spilled and enveloped the air around you. What was that smell? Perhaps a dead rat? Perhaps it was the rat that ran away from the elephant? No.
You bent down and scanned the insides of your fridge. You noticed all the crap that you've conveniently left inside, not even knowing when was the last time they were used. There were some kinda cheesy like mold growing in one of the corners, and near the chiller. Something moved. Oh, the rat? No.
Something moved, like jelly.
And you saw it.
A miniature horror.
A black sludge of death.
A mutation of your long forgotten crap.
It sprung up onto your face, and escaped its garden of eden. It would soon evolve to become the tyrannical ruler of our galaxy. Beelzebub forbids if the creature used to be a bar of Milky Way.
"Don't leave things in the fridge."
