You're driving though a road with forest on both sides of you, you've been down this road many times coming home from work. You are smoking a cigarette having got the urge to smoke. You throw it out of your window not caring about your actions it was something people do all the time after all.

Unknowingly you had made a grave mistake that would be your undoing. You soon get home happy to be home after a long day of work. You are happy to see your wife and kids you head inside and are hugged by your youngest daughter who was 7. You pick her up with a smile on your face hugging her your wife soon comes over and gives you a kiss welcoming you home. You put your daughter down sitting at the table eating a delicious dinner your wife cooked. Soon you all went to bed after helping your kids study.

You wake at 2:00 am to the security alarm going off. Your kids come into your bedroom having been scared your wife comforts the kids as you get your gun to go search for what set it off.

You exit your bedroom gun in hand as you slowly walk down the hall checking the bedrooms as you go soon you got to the front door to see it was wide open off it's hinges. Someone or something had broke the door and was now inside.

You quickly go to reach for your phone to call the cops but you hear a growl behind you. You freeze that sound it wasn't something a human could make. It sounded big, but it wasn't human so what was it? Was it a bear? A wolf? No it couldn't be a wolf or a bear wouldn't do that to a front door. So what was it?

Thoughts race in your mind as you slowly feel your fight or flight kick in. You had to fight you needed to protect your family so you try to turn around and shoot it, But that didn't happen you got slammed into the wall by this thing you could feel some ribs crack. You wheezed out in pain having got the wind knocked of you.

Soon you felt an white hot pain run throughout your entire body as you felt something bite deeply into your shoulder. You cry out in agony filled scream as this is the worse pain you have ever felt. You hoped and wished your wife and kids stay hidden and don't come out.

Something was wrong with this wound even after the creature had pulled away it burned so much. You reach up to put your hand on the wound to try to see how bad it was. To your horror you felt it getting worse. The skin was decaying at a rapid rate soon chunks of your flesh were falling off hitting the floor with a nauseating splat sound.

You felt true terror you knew nothing could save you. You hoped this monster would leave your family alone after it was done with you.

You felt darkness creeping into your vision as you felt the white hot pain again as the thing bit you again. You knew you would die soon.

You soon felt your head get slammed against the wall the monsters strength was alarming you felt your skull getting crushed it hurt your head felt like it was going to pop.

You scream to your family for them to stay hidden and to not come out hoping that this monster didn't understand what you were saying.

The monster pressed on your head harder and harder and you soon felt a crack and you knew these were you final moments.

I guess what they say this true that your life flashes before your eyes before you die. You saw the day you got married when you and your wife had your first child and you thought back on the mistakes that you had made. But none of that matters now.

You felt your skull completely give away and you soon died your head having gotten crushed blood dropped out of your eyes, nose, and ears. You were dead.

But this isn't a story about you. This is a story about the monster that had killed you.

The monster growled seeing that the human was dead and he licked the blood off his hand. This human had disrespected his home. He threw his trash into his home his forest! That was unforgivable.

He sniffed the air smelling other humans but he would let them go they hadn't done anything to earn his anger. So he would let them live he may be a monster but he wasn't without reason.

He soon left the human home having followed this human for miles and soon made his way back to the forest to his home.

Soon the cops came to your home after your wife had called them. They were horrified at the sight of you half rotted and eaten they were puzzled you had only been dead for a hour at most how were you already rotting?

Your death was marked as a animal attack even though no one had a answer for how you were rotting so fast they wrote it off as some genetic thing.

Your wife and kids never fully recovered from that night your death and the way you died was horrifying. Your wife never remarried and your kids went to college soon moving far away wanting to get away from that horrible place and those memories that haunted them.

Your family was left to wonder what did this and why. It seemed to really hate you with how brutal it had attacked you.

This happened because you had threw a cigarette bud out of your window. But your family didn't know that who would even think that was the reason for your death. Something so small something most people didn't even bat a eye when they do it. But you died because you did that.

The monster had killed you for something so small ruined your families life over this. The monster saw himself in the right because this human had disrespected his forest his home.
