How To Be A Good Mortal Father To Your Demon Kids 7 Monster Movie Mall

On some days you just go through the motions, you don't even have to fully be there mentally, like a dead fish on a line, you can cruise through the day brain dead like a zombie without a care in the world, but on other days…

Let's just say you see very strange things.

Today was such a day.

Now I understand the mall is filled with all kinds of people who just want to buy their stuff and leave so I have to put on my most non-judgemental face when serving them with a smile no matter how suspicious the things they are buying are.

Like the man who bought a butchers knife, rope and a suspicious amount of bleach, I am pretty sure that guy was a serial killer but I hadn't heard of anyone missing in the past month so I was probably wrong.

Today, however, was just weird, lets start with the general atmosphere, it was ridiculously hot now the weather is unpredictable but it was a cool 15°C in the morning clear skies and a light chilly breeze how did we get to 35°C with these ridiculously strong winds, I swear I saw a man being carried off along with his cart not to mention the ominous black clouds swirling in the sky like some bizarre s.p.a.ce vortex, could this be the dreaded global warming finally come to wipe us, the ungrateful human race out?

Would today mark the beginning of my apocalypse world story arc as the protagonist?

Nah, probably not.

It was just a weird day.

You could even feel the resentful energy filling the air even if you weren't some Daoist cultivator from a web novel and then HE walked in.

When that ridiculously tall man walked through the sliding doors, lightning flashed behind him and a fog came out of nowhere suddenly covering the streets and even entering the store, the whole place looked like a monster horror movie waiting to happen.

He had really long hair for a guy and he walked proudly with long strides oozing purpose and strength, I didn't even notice the man next to him until they quickly walked past me and I heard the ominous words

"Why couldn't you take this form earlier oh dark lord?"

Dark Lord?

I'm must have misheard…

"This form is gross and practical fur-less so I get cold."

…

Nope, it was time to stop eavesdropping, this conversation was weird, what did they mean?

fur-less?

The storm outside raged as the rain began to fall in loud heavy drops with thunder rumbling in the sky.

A crow landed in front of the store then another and another and another. Yep if that wasn't a bad omen I didn't know what was.

My eyes followed the two men as they walked down the aisle knowing the would go for the knives section but they turned left into the diaper isle??

Maybe I was wrong about these guys?

The lights began to flicker a weird buzzing sound filled the air the murder of crows outside began cawing in unison like a bunch of soldiers, this was a horror movie I had found myself in a horror movie there was no other explanation

I felt a cold sweat trickle down my back as I watched them push a cart filled with newborn diapers and a ridiculous amount of baby formula?

The scene did not fit the mood.

The tall man was scowling and the shorter guy looked nervous,

"Grandmaster of darkness, we need to buy clothes! I have no idea where those are bought!"

that proved it these guys were not from this world!

What person didn't know where clothes were bought?!

And why did he call him the grandmaster of darkness?!

Lighting flashed again.

They turned to look at me, with the look most customers had when they were about to ask a question.

"I have to get out of here!" I thought as my fight or flight instinct went into overdrive, with every step they took my instincts were telling me to flee board a plane and run off to another continent,

I began s.h.i.+vering as the air around me grew cold, the tall man was standing right in front of me and I could get a good look at his face now best I could say was he was one of those guys who looked good with a beard but his eyes were what made me sure he was an alien, they were yellow! And not like jaundice yellow but like the irises glowed yellow!

"Where does one buy clothes for a newborn?"

…

Okay, even I wasn't too sure of that but I knew we didn't sell those

"Oh, there's a baby shop across town you can check there."

"Okay thanks!" the little guy said

They paid for their stuff and left

The crows were flying in a black tornado as soon as the tall one stepped out lighting flashed again and thunder roared, they disappeared.

Like they vanished in a flurry of black feathers,

the sky became clear and the air became cool in seconds!

the raging winds became a nice little breeze and the fog faded into nothing.

Yep, those guys were definitely from another world.
