The Creature (Short Story)

The creature stalks through the night
Searching for prey
Dogs
Cats
Humans
It doesn't matter
If it's meat
The creature feeds

Horns of a bull
Head of a deer
Body of a goat
Arms of a lion
Feet of a rabbit
Razor sharp fangs
Eyes the color of blood
Those are the agreed upon facts

Some say it breathes fire
Some say it can teleport
Some say it can shoot lightening from it's hands

Most people have only seen one
However there are people
Who claim to have seen more than one

How old is this thing
No one knows for sure
Some say since time began
Some say it is older than that

What is known

Is that
 The cavemen have seen it
And sketched a recorded record on the walls of their caves
There have been Writings
Found in the ancient pyramids of Egypt
That detail the creatures activities
Even the Ancient Druids
Have written records of the creature
So this thing has been around
A very long time

Over the years
Cults and Secret Societies
Have formed to worship the creature
Offering both
Human and animal sacrifices to it
In hopes to 
Avoid becoming dinner themselves

Still today it hunts
Lurking in the shadow of night
Waiting
Waiting
For the proper time
To feed upon it's prey
