Monster and Man

Winter

Date: Dec. 20th 3:30am.

    The cold winter air brushed against Tom's body, sending shivers down his spine. "Jeez, could things get any colder?" he shuddered as he buried himself further into his coat. The Brit didn't even know why he thought it was a good idea to be out here in the middle of the night. The city lights were blaring, almost blinding as Tom walked past them. It wasn't even Christmas and people were still running about, shopping desperately for gifts before it was too late. Of course people would do anything for this dumb holiday, so it didn't surprise him too much. He continued to walk down the road passing by large crowds of people waiting outside of stores. "Seriously, who would wait outside in this weather?" Tom grumbled looking annoyed. His dark, void like eyes, looking more tired than usual, seemed to scrunch up with the rest of his face as yet another gust of wind blew past him. "Guh!" he said startled as the bitter feeling swept over him. "Really, how COLD is going to get!?" he growled. A light, purple mist soon began to form around his eyes as they turned to a dark red color. He soon began his breathing exercises, knowing that he was getting agitated far too quickly. "Just need to get back home and it'll all be fine. Just have to relax." And with that, he continued to walk home as the wind blew with snow now in hand.

Date: Dec. 20th 7:28am.

    The morning light shown through the curtainedwindows, softly landing on the man still curled up warmly in his green sheets.His dark brown hair, a mess, was now shimmering with golden flecks as the lightgrew in power. Realizing that he had been asleep long enough, the man graduallygot up from the comfort of his bed. A shiver soon reached him as the bitter airrushed over him causing him to pull the sheets over his shoulder. "Burr," theman said, "I forget how c-cold it is in th-the morning!" A small meow soon washeard as if to respond to that remark. "Oh! Ringo are you cold to?" the manasked as a grey tabby cat waltz into the room. 'Meow!' the cat whined pitifully,knowing well that it was soon to get some attention from its owner. "Aww, comehere." He said as he picked his feline companion up. "What kind of owner wouldI be if my poor, freezing, little buddy were to turn into a paw-psicle?" The cat groaned at their owner's pun, it was still tooearly for this. "Aww, come on lighten up will ya? That was a furry good joke!" This seemed tocontinue until the man's phone buzzed. "Huh?" was all he said before picking itup. Just as he began to look at who had just texted him, a sudden doorbellechoed throughout the house. "Coming!" he yelled as he threw on his regulargreen hoodie and marched up to the door. On his phone, a text appeared oncemore. 'Hey Edd. I'm going to be home a little late. Just letting you know incase you start calling another search party.' Tom.
