_You wake in the dead of night to the hum of radio chatter. Odd, you think, since you don't own a radio. You follow the discordant sounds and quiet shuffling with your phone in hand. A house invasion? Wild animal? The noise, now louder, is coming from the kitchen.

The fridge was wide open, and bathed in its white light stood a beast. It was roughy human sized, and its insectoid maw held the raw turkey you had been thawing for dinner tomorrow. Perhaps in a state of shock, and the advice of your gut being thrown aside, you think to snap a photo.
"Won't your friends want to see this?" You thought. Your hands trembling, you raise your cellphone and tap the screen. Before you have time to retreat, the blinding flash of your phone's camera stuns the creature.

DRAT! You forgot to change the settings!

You stand motionless as the beast's lidless eyes stare directly at you. The tendril whiskers on its face twitch towards you and quickly jerk away. The beast's jaw snaps back in, and with that, the turkey disappears. With a flick of its long, segmented tail, it retreats. You swear you watch it melt into a golden, amorphous goo before sliding itself through the window screen and away from sight._
