"Okay... but all this seems very weird and I’m just not going to lie, but it scares the shit out of me." I said matter of factly as I paused to take a breath. “I tell you what... I will… em… I'll drop you off somewhere. Where do you want to go?" I asked hoping I hadn’t made a mistake letting this strange man get into my car with me.
"Drop me off around the corner. There's a shop there." He said as he kept looking around. He was making me feel more nervous.
"Why can't you walk there? It isn't that far." I asked.
"Are you kidding me? It's dangerous out here at night." I was confused at the sound of his terrified voice, although, I put it down to what we had just witnessed.
"Why is it dangerous? Surely people aren't going around biting others?" I asked curiously. Had this sort of thing happened before?
"I'm telling you... things are weird lately... people are going crazy!" He seemed serious as his blue eyes widened.
"Okay... but I haven't seen anything as weird as that guy biting and eating that policeman. Have you?" I was sure nothing could be more weirder than what I had just witnessed. The nausea in my stomach still hadn't gone away.
"Yes... I've seen a lot of things... people are getting bitten everywhere tonight... it's mad out here." His words terrified me even more.
"Are you sure?" I paused for a moment trying to think it all through. "I think that something must be wrong with these people. They wouldn't just bite someone for no reason." I thought it was all very odd.
I realised then, that I should get home and watch what I had captured on film. The world needed to see this on television, I thought.
"Come on... I'll give you a lift!" I said urgently, because I suddenly wanted to get going.
I got into my car and Tim followed me and took his place in the passenger seat. I needed to find out more from him, but he seemed in a hurry to get away as I stopped the car.
"Hey... wait... where can I find you if I need to talk to you again?" I wanted to know more about what he had seen for my news story.
"Just come to my garage and I'll be there," he said.
I nodded back at him without answering and drove away. Was he really going to go back there? It seemed he would, but I knew I had to call someone to report it. It was the right thing to do. I felt I had to put it out there to warn everyone in case... In case of what? I couldn't finish the sentence, because I didn't really know what to think about what I had seen. I was stumped as to what was really going on, but I wanted to find out.
2. Tim Sparks - Threatened
I was moving stuff around in my garage trying to make it a bit more tidier when everything changed for the worse.
I had resorted to living here lately as it was much cheaper than renting a place. I'd just got back from work and my life, these days, were spent here drinking red wine. I opened a bottle and was well into it when suddenly someone started banging on my garage door.
The noise frightened me at first. I called out and asked who it was, but there was no answer except for the continuous clanging sound. Who was it?
I wondered if it was someone who needed my help, but every time I called out to whoever it was, the person didn't answer and the noise vibrated inside of my garage.
Was I being attacked? The thought occurred to me, but then I didn't think I had any enemies.
I'd been recently living with my brother, but it hadn't worked out so I left. We hadn't got on recently, so I thought it was best that I moved out. Anyway, living in Kent with him was just too far for me to get to work every day.
The constant echo was starting to get on my nerves, but at the same time I was frightened. I'd seen things lately out on the streets whilst driving. You see, I was a bus driver and drove long hours at a time. I had seen some weird and strange things happening on the streets recently. Stuff like women limping oddly down a street or someone attacking someone else.
Once, after having a bit too much to drink late at night and walking back to my garage from the shop, I saw someone kneeling over something. I had been convinced that I’d seen a body on the ground. It did seem odd, as if someone was biting and eating their guts. It had scared the crap out me. I’d been slightly unbalanced at the sound of crunching. I also saw blood flowing down the pavement and there was a terrible smell wafting out towards me. After seeing that, I made sure I drove to the shop even it was just around the corner.
Now, as the banging continued to reverberate inside my garage, I felt more nervous by the minute. I had a feeling there was something dreadful out there trying to get in. Perhaps, it was one of those weird looking mad people I'd seen on the streets recently.
After a long while, listening to the loud, clambering sound of the garage door being banged upon, the noise suddenly stopped. I heard a voice. Someone else was out there. I moved nearer to get a better idea of what was being said, but I couldn't hear much.
It wasn't long until I heard a scream and then more louder shouts. It sounded like a man's voice. It freaked me out.
