I looked up just in time to see him sever a couple of gray fingers from somebody on the other side when the door was forced to a close. The dismembered appendages fell to the floor and bounced as they rolled to a stop. He looked down at the body parts in surprise as if he hadn't noticed the fingers that had been clawing at the door when he'd swung it shut.I stood up, knocking my chair over, stubbing the toe of my bare foot in the process. What's going on? Who was that? They need help.The door was solid wood, and the jamb was made from metal. I would never have thought it could be used to cut flesh and bone, but Pete was a big man and had swung it hard and fast. The football team had tried to recruit him multiple times, but he'd always refused. It was a reflection of how poor of a team we had that when they saw a big dude on campus, they couldn't leave him alone.A scream came from outside, it sounded like the howl of a wild animal, more of a roar than anything else. It was followed by several loud bangs as if somebody with a bat was beating at the door from the other side.It couldn't have been a long incubation period, Pete muttered as he locked the door and stepped away. There wasn't anything wrong with them yesterday. He shook his head. Why did I have to go in tonight? I could have just stayed away for the night. The last part was said quietly to himself. In truth, I wondered if he'd forgotten I was with him in our room.Who's out there? I asked again, forcing my voice to be calm. What, not who, would be a little more accurate.
