Jack smiled as he breathed in fresh cold air. When he breathed out mist shrouded around him. He smiled a genuine smile, and looked at the frost on the grass. It was christmas eve and all was going well. He was going with his perfect girlfriend Jesse to a small town, and she loved Christmas more that anyone, even him. After everything was packed, and they drove for 2 hours they came upon the small village tow. They went to a patio style restaurant “Angelus” and got to gaze at all the carolers in the town square. Their voices was memorising, and Jack was ready to fall into a romantic evening.

They had rented a house by the shore, across from Angelus. They had heard the carolers, surrounding the towns fountain. That’s the thing though. They wouldn’t stop. All through the night they just wouldn’t stop. It really was a turn-off, and they stayed up late just trying to block out the noise. Eventually Jesse went to sleep, but Jack stayed up all night, he was a late sleeper anyway. After a while, he checked the clock. 11:59. When would these carolers stop? Suddenly the ground shook, so violently parts of the ceiling even crumbled down. He ran to wake up Jesse, but he looked in horror at her. Her throat was cut clean through, so much her neck almost cracked. The shaking increased, and he ran to the window. The carolers kept singing.

“O holy night.

Rebirth of christ.”

A crack came from the ground, and spread across the town. Buildings collapsed in. A giant figure emerged, and with a swipe killed every caroler. The singing continued. The beast shrunk to a human shape. He disappeared. Jack looked behind him. The figure looked  like him, just with a fancy suit on and combed back hair. He looked around.

“Nice Earth.”

He smiled as Jack stood eerily petrified.

Jack fell to the ground in agony, and as his vision faded he vaguely heard something.
