Wicked Prayers

Javier tries to hold on to the beautiful memories of Shayla, but his mind is racing at top speed. Each thought is burned away by a dark fire in his very soul. Sounds of Urrr-urr-Aiieerrrr! Urr-urr-Aiiieeerrr burst from the throat of Javier as his torso begins to shake and twist into arches of hideous lumps. “Oh my God! Charlie! Charlie!” Kendra screams in terror and disbelief. Javier manages to utter a gruff “Kihilll meeee. Kendra’s screams block his whispers for mercy. She scrambles to escape through the unopened side of the ambulance, but there is no escape…nowhere to hide. Javier’s bones shift, shaping into some other thing. The rocking of the transformation shakes the gurney loose from its locks slamming it to the back of the ambulance. Charlie feels a thud at the back of the truck. He slams on the brakes! He radios into the station that the truck has been in an accident. Kendra tries to run to the rear of the truck, but the Javier creature knocks her into the wall after it rips its arms from the restraint straps. Kendra’s body lands hard against the front wall, forcing medical supplies to rain down from the shelves above her. The Javier creature stands at the rear of the truck, shifting from side to side as it mutates into a mass of horror before her. Kendra screams as she throws handfuls of medical gauze and ice packs at the monster. The Javier creature bursts into stuttering laughter “urr-urr-urr-urr” as several cold packs crush between his jagged teeth and spill over the claw of what used to be his right hand. Kendra desperately reaches for anything to throw at the monster to keep it at bay.
