Glowing Eyes

Once there was supposedly a family that went out camping. All day the family's youngest child was complaining how the monsters were watching her. The parents ignored the comments until night fall. The family dog went wiped barking at the darkness.

Finally having enough the father let the dog go. The dog ran out into the night. Hours later the dog came back with his trophy dangling in his mouth. The family stared in horror as the dog dropped his finding by the camp fire. A gray finger sat their by the camp fire. Its nails were sharpened but no blood came out. As they tried to figure out what it was a loud inhuman screech came from the darkness behind the trees.

The mother grabbed her children and held them by the fire. The daughter pointed to the darkness and said "look mommy!, the monsters are coming!" the father ran and suddenly stopped a, wet sticky drop fell on his neck. He slowly looked up and saw 12 white eyes looking at him above in the trees.

"dear god, what are they" the dog ran towards the father but as soon as he ran away from the fire a hand grabbed the dogs collar and lifted it into the trees. The father ran back to the fire but stumbled. More drops fell on home but these drops were blood. The father ran faster to the fire and grabbed his wife. They stood by the bonfire for that kept the creatures away. Then it began to rain. As the fire slowly died the glowing eyes got closer, and closer.
