The creature moved to the door, looked out toward Louise, and let out a sound so awful that it even shook the surrounding trees. Louise got to the car, opened the door, and began frantically locking every door by hand. Searching for the keys, she stopped and realized in a moment of disbelief and despair that Tom had them in his pocket. Reaching for her handbag, she fumbled around until she found her phone and shakily dialed 911.
“911. What is your emergency?”
Louise’s voice was shaking as she screamed into her phone, “Please help!  We are being attacked!”
“Ma’am, I need you to calm down. Where are you?”
“We’re at the old Oslow House off of Conway Street! I think it killed my boyfriend!”
“Ma’am, the police are on their way. What attacked you? Was it an animal?”
“I don’t know what it was.  It wasn’t human!”
“Are you in the house now?”
“No. I’m in the car, but I don’t have the keys.” Louise looked toward the house and screamed into her phone,  “Oh my God!”
“What is it?  Are you still there?  Ma’am?”
“It’s coming!  It’s coming!  Help me, please! Oh my God!” 
The creature was now standing just outside her car door. It peered through the window, staring at her. Louise was frozen in fear, her eyes locked with the creature’s. Its eyes were like deep, dark holes with no end. She was completely paralyzed. Louise could barely hear the voice on the phone asking her the same question over and over again.
“Ma’am, are you there? Are you there?”
Louise raised her hand to her ear, the phone still frozen in her hand, and spoke in a low, somber voice. “It’s here. It’s here.”
The person on the other end of the phone tried to stay calm, but even the pitch of her voice was getting higher and higher. “What’s there? Tell me what’s happening. The police are almost to you.  Stay with me. Ma’am, are you there?”
 There was no answer. Finally, a click and then silence. Nothing but dead silence.
