The Grinching

The time had come, the Grinching had started. Those with black hearts began to change. They enlarged in size, green fur sprouting from every pore. Glowing yellow eyes searched for those with full hearts that they could devour. The unchanged hid away in their homes, too terrified to walk the streets.
Christmas time had become a time of fear, the love, joy, and giving of the holiday has long been forgotten. It is a time of fear.
The Grinching began as a virus, air-borne. It attached to the part of the brain that controlled feeling, those who dispised and hated people and the holidays were changed. They changed into Grinches and rampaged around the street, destroying anything in their path. There was no cure.
Locked away in their cellars the unchanged ones lived on canned rations for the entire month of December. They rarely spoke a word in fear of attracting the Grinches.
The wonderous holidays are gone, and only fear remains. Fear of the Grinching.

New genre. New style.

Still as a statue, he watched her. She lived in isolation. So did he. He was hungry, starp pain in his stomach. He heard her steady pulse, or did he? He saw red. He was hungry. As silent as a shadow he crawled down from the roof. He followed her. She sensed someone, spine tingling. She looked around to find no one. She walked on, he followed.
She arrived home and opened the front door. He slinked in behind her. Her spine tingled, and she looked around. No one. Her home felt cold, she was afraid. She retreated to her bedroom, it was safe there. He waited.
She was afraid for many hours. She couldn't read, nor watch television. Unnerved she fell asleep. He approached. He grabbed her, muffling her startled scream. He brought his mouth to her neck. He wasn't hungry anymore. In the dark he fed.
