Monster Blood Chapter 22

“Trigger!”

The dog that came bounding toward him looked like Trigger. But the cocker spaniel was the size of a pony! He had doubled in size since the day before!

“No!” Evan had to hit the dirt as Trigger excitedly tried to jump on him. “Hey—wait!”

Before Evan could get up, Trigger began barking ferociously. The huge dog was already past the gate and thundering across the backyard toward the street.

“I don’t believe it!” Andy cried, raising her hands to her face, staring in shock as the enormous creature bounded around the side of the house and out of sight. “He’s so—big!”

“We’ve got to stop him! He might hurt someone!” Evan cried.

“Trigger! Trigger—come back!” Still off balance, Evan started to run, calling frantically. But he stumbled over Andy’s bike and fell onto the trash can.

“No!” Andy shrieked, looking on helplessly as the metal can toppled over, with Evan sprawled on top of it. The can hit the driveway with a loud clang.

The lid popped off and rolled away.

The green gunk poured out.

It oozed away from the can, then stopped and appeared to stand up. Quivering, making loud sucking sounds, it righted itself, pulling itself up tall.

As the two kids stared in silent horror, the quivering green mass appeared to come to life, like a newly born creature pulling itself up, stretching, looking around.

Then, with a loud sucking sound, it arched toward Evan, who was still sprawled on the toppled can.

“Get up, Evan!” Andy cried. “Get up! It’s going to roll right over you!”
