Gnome
He's back. This is the 3rd year this Thing came around. Every 1st of October,
this Gnome gets put in my damn yard. A lot of crazy shit been going on around
this Gnome, but I'll get to the bottom of it this year. I have cameras put up
and lights on each corner of my house and when I catch who is fucking with me,
I'll be the one doing the fucking.

The 1st year it happen was 2063. It was a
beautiful Monday. I was taking an afternoon nap and woke up when I heard kids
outside laughing and jumping into the pile of leaves I just raked (by hand) earlier
that day. I slipped on my slippers, grabbed my dirt jet and ran outside.
"Go on! Get going! Know how long that
took me to do?! Go play in some traffic!" I yelled.
It didn't matter. They just went into
someone else’s yard to do the same thing, I was sure they would come back and
fuck my pile back up, so I just left it a mess. Let the fucking city clean it
up. It was close enough to the street. That's why I pay my Global taxes for,
for them to clean that shit. Walking back to the house I trip over this Gnome.
Mean looking son-of-a-bitch, too. Tall pointy red cap, Eyes were sharp, evil
little grin that looked ready to bite someone's ass. Not mine though, because I
was on my ass by this point. I got up slowly, and kicked it as hard as I could.
It bounced across the front yard, and went into the bushes by the fence.
Every day that October I had to go
outside and throw that thing away but it was always back in my yard the next
day. It would be in random spots every time like, In a tree, on the fence, on
my door step, on top of the trash cans, in the back yard dog house, in the Koi
Fish pond, on my fucking house and other places kids wouldn't be able to get
at. Then after Halloween I didn't see it. Whoever did this sure had a boring
October to fuck with an old man.

In 2064 I woke up around 4 am that
Wednesday morning. Cold for October. No leaves that year because they all fell
off the trees earlier than usual. But kids still found a way to make it into my
yard. That Gnome was right in the bird bath. It looked right at me and I went
straight outside and threw it in the trash. I put the trash bins by the street
and watched them until the garbage truck came and got them. I went and made
some breakfast, ate then let Buddy out back. Pugs aren't good at holding their
messes. I went back in the kitchen to clean the few dishes I used when I heard
Buddy yelp real loud. I opened the door and seen the Gnome next to him. I went
out there and Buddy couldn't use his back left paw. I observed blood on the Gnome's
mouth. So I checked Buddy and his paw was dripping blood.
I started a big fire that night and Mr.
Gnome went in it. Buddy and I stayed out back until it was nothing but ash. It
didn't matter. It came back the next day. He always comes back in October.
So I just kept Buddy close to me for the rest of that month. Kids starting to
come up missing on my block. A few cops came around asking if I had seen
anything or noticed any strange persons come in the town. I told them no and
went to close the door. The Cop put his foot in the door and said, "I know
you yell at those kids, and hate them on your lawn. I'll find out what you're
doing here." And he left. They kept going missing. By the end of that very
cold October, 2064, 7 kids went missing.
Gnome would get more evil looking with
each missing child. By the end of October he had blood shot eyes with pure
white pupils, blood dripping from its mouth and sharp needle like teeth. It put
fear in me toward the end of the month. I had a feeling it was going to come
for me after there were no more kids. Why wait, though? Why my lawn? Why me?
*
It's Thursday and I haven't seen the Gnome
yet. I been keeping an eye out since midnight. Maybe whoever is fucking with me
got bored this year. Must be a lot of work fucking around with a Gnome,
painting it and making it look evil.
I fell asleep looking out the window and
woke up to someone screaming outside. There was a little girl swinging from my
tree. She was still kicking when I ran outside to try to help her. I was too
late. Above her I seen the Gnome on the branch with a fixed bloody smile.
Thousands of pointy teeth in its mouth.
It's Halloween 2065. My dog is dead. The
Gnome took him earlier this month. 4 more kids went missing. But they're not
missing anymore. All 11 of the kids are swinging by their necks from the trees
in my yard. Some are mummified from being dead for years. The 4 taken earlier
this month bloated and bloody. I hear the sirens and see the lights. I'll be
the next one swinging, I'm sure of it. I leave this letter for everybody. I
tried to get it on tape but the system would freeze then come back on after the
Gnome did its work. It ruined my life, I'm sure it'll move on to someone else.
Evil bastard. The cops are beating my door down.
Find the Gnome.
THE
END
