A hungry dog found in the dark
He opened the old wooden door. Peering into the dark gloom beyond, he sees a shape on the floor outlined by the light emanating from behind him. Startled he jumps back his heart pounding in his ears causing a rush to his head. Paranoid thoughts swirling around his head he wonders what could be laying beyond. His childhood nighttime fears of the dark pressing close to his consciousness.
After a few moments he collects himself and tentatively creeps forward to investigate the shape. Fumbling in his pocket for his phone he takes it out, swiping the screen to find the torchlight app he turns it on. The stark glare from his phone temporarily blinding him he holds out his phone ahead of him to see what lies beyond, waiting for his eyes to acclimatise after the brightness of the device.
Slowly moving forward he sees two luminescent green orbs reflecting against the glow of the torch. The circles move and seem to recede as he gets closer. The light of the phone casting ominous shadows on the wall. As the flare from the torch passes over the shape he sees it is only a dog huddling in the dark.
