Grant watched as the rag-creature rose up and sloughed off it's raggy hide, revealing that it was instead a monstrous skunk with some sort mesh for the rag. He paused a moment to admire the cleverness inherent in such a design - it was like an urban ghillie suit! He didn't waste another moment on it though, as his mind quickly moved on to how much<span style="font-style: italic">more</span>monstrous the skunk looked now that he could see it's true features.<br/><br/>He felt the cold claws of fear close around his heart when the thing began to speak to him, clearly having detected him. He gulped nervously, slowly moving out from behind the garbage can as there was no advantage to hiding behind it anymore. He had been tensing to run as fast he could the way he'd come when the skunk said he might let him live if he was 'fun to play with'. Grant was torn - neither of his options offered an assurance of survival, as the skunk was huge and thus could probably move rather swiftly after him if he ran, but if he submitted to the skunk, it was only a 'maybe' that would keep him from ending up as a pile of shit.<br/><br/>"Wh...what do you want?" he asked, his voice trembling with terror.
