The Glistening Death


 Warren decides to visit his eccentric old uncle looking for easy money and hid away, his Uncle Robert Arno who lives in Louisiana swamps.

Warren approaches his Uncles address where he senses a weird smell.

Warren is gladly welcomed by his uncle as he is feeling lonely and wants a bit of company.

Warren asks his uncle over dinner why he stays in a place with no modern conveniences, his uncle becomes an instantly defensive warning Warren of dangers others would not understand.

With encouragement from Warren, his uncle tells him of unknown terror lurking out in the swamps.

That night when Warren goes to bed he finds it difficult to sleep when he is suddenly attacked by an unknown force trying to strangle him but the creature withdraws into the moonlight.

Warren decides not to say anything to his uncle deciding his uncle must be hiding something, perhaps hidden treasure s.

Despite hunting high and low he found no sign of hidden treasure s.

Then one evening a beautiful woman came to visit startling his uncle who said a.

(why have you come?)

The woman replies (You are breaking your promise to visit my house, who is your visitor?).

Warren walks toward the woman trying to get to know her better but she is dismissive and as she leaves she looks Warren right in the eyes and says (I shall see you very soon)

The next day suspicious of his Uncle's weird relationship with beautiful women, he shadows his uncle into the swamp when out of the morass and swirling waters of the swamp arose tentacles trying to get to Warren who tries to defend himself but to no avail.

Warren runs in desperation with his mind in chaotic thought, his only wish is to escape.

Warren looks into his uncle's window to see his uncle's surrounding himself in sacks of gold.

Warren gets angry that his uncle hid this from him so he confronts him about wanting the gold, his uncle tries to explain that he is a slave to an alien intelligence it gives him the gold for not revealing it to the world, but Warren doesn't believe a word and gets an overcome with rage and chokes the breath out his uncle a body.

Warren then gets giddy with his newfound wealth.

The beautiful women reappear out of nowhere asking where there was uncle, Warren openly brags about killing him.

The beautiful woman beams a huge smile on her face, she then goes on to tell Warren how she was looking for someone young and strong and how Warren's uncle was feeding her red meat, but she was the first of her species on the planet Earth, she must grow, have sustenance.

Before Warren's bewildered eyes she changes into a monster with tentacles which she wraps around his body and precedes to absorb Warren to be part of her.
