Uninvited Guests

David was finally home from the Mental Institute. It had been a long seven months without any contact with friends and he was grateful that he got released. He was told there would be a bombing by Germans, so he went looking for some candles. Since the bombers would be there tonight, the lights would be out in town. Stomping, he reached the bottom of the stairs. He went down there because his candles were downstairs.

After He was downstairs, he got the candles and decided to take up the radio. He look around for the radio, he grabbed it after locating the radio then he noticed a new, very small door. Then he saw the knob turn. Panicked, David bolted for the stairs and dropped the radio. His heart was pounding. He was sure he had seen the doorknob turn. he tried to calm down, but couldn't. He went to count his candles then realized he had no radio.

David was panicking like a psycho again. He told himself it was okay and went back for his radio. When he was back downstairs the small door was gone, but something was amiss. He turned to see a short humanoid. It had a crazy look in its eye and a torch in hand. It merely bore its teeth and lit the house ablaze. Then the dwarfish being bounded at him and clawed him, especially his arm. The house burned down. David was not found and thus assumed killed by the flaming debris from his roof.

This was my interpretation of the picture from the book Uninvited Guests.
