While picking through various bargains
at my local dollar store, out of the corner
of my left eye, I spied a bona fide Dogman
shopping in the toy section. Terrified,
petrified, I pretended I didn’t see him.
I fled with my purchases to the front of
the store to cash out fast. I told the two
workers about the cryptid that had
invaded their store. They laughed as if I
were bonkers or making a silly joke
and said they didn’t see anything
unusual come into the store.
Still panicked, I dashed out of there with
my purchases, and that night I saw on the
evening news that six people including
the two employees had been slaughtered in
that store by some kind of howling beast
that got away.
