Bad Dreams in the Night by Adam Ellis

It’s January 11th and a sunny day in LA as Jen moves into her new cute home. She’s texting her friend Adam back home in New York about its little quirk, a tiny little door with MILK embossed on the front. Jen looks it up and people used to get their milk delivered there. On the inside of the door there’s a phone number for deliveries, 732-707-1765… should she call it?

OMG yeah! The number still works but no one picks up, so Jen leaves a message. It might be nice to get milk delivered, but she doesn’t like milk so, whatever. 

The next day Jen notices the milk door is not only open, but inside is a bone. WTF!!! Who would do that, is someone fucking with her? Adam points out it’s kinda funny, but probably just a neighbor being a dick. Jen throws the bone away. 

The day after Jen finds another bone behind the milk door. This one looks broken. Time to caulk the opening outside. This, however, doesn't work, as next, Jen finds a pile of TEETH. Was someone inside her house?! Jen scoops the teeth out and dumps them in the trash which is becoming a collection of bones. 

Jen changes the locks in case it is someone coming into her house, but it doesn’t help. She keeps finding bones. For weeks every morning there is a new bone behind the milk door. Adam suggests calling the cops, but what are they going to do? She could be being framed for murder, the bone pile in the trash is up to the brim. Jen will figure it out in the morning.

The next day Adam texts asking for an update. The bones have stopped, but there is something else. A bottle of milk? No, definitely not, it reeks. Jen pours it on to the bone pile, and throws the bottle on top. The garbage is finally being collected tomorrow. 

During the night Jen, rubbing her eyes, walks into the kitchen. Something catches her eye. Inside the trash can two eyes in a misshapen bulbous head are looking at her. The creature starts to climb out. It looks sorta cute, at first but its body looks wrong, it has only three fingers on each hand, it's covered bumps and folds, and has prominent saggy boobs. It opens its mouth filled with teeth from the milk door and jumps at Jen. 

It’s February 15th and a bloody day in LA as Jen’s friend texts asking if she’s okay, it’s been a few days.
