The Hole

I was out, walking my dog. It was dark at night. Not the best idea. Still, I was bored and cooped up in my own little flat, all alone. So I had decided to take my dog for a walk. We went down the lake. Beautiful there, great scenery, the beautiful summer breeze, just perfect. Well, as it was the night, I couldn’t see properly. I had forgotten my glasses. How clever of me.
I had reached the bed of the lake and decided to sit down, on the grass. It was getting cold. I let my dog go for a little run while I tried to get some kip. I shut my eyes and in the few minutes that had gone by, I heard a yelp. A ghastly, shocking yelp from my dog.
I quickly opened my eyes and turned around, only to be shocked by what I saw. I saw something creep out the lake. Something big. Something unusual…
It grabbed my dog by the scruff of its neck and held him high. I didn’t know what to do so I lay there, watching with fear. Then it opened what looked like a mouth. The giant, enormous hole. Then, the next thing I knew my dog was gone, vanished.
I blinked, hoping to see my dog still running around, hoping that it was a nightmare. I saw nothing. I blinked again. I again, saw nothing.
That was the end of it. My dog was swallowed up by a big, black hole. Gone.
