It was back in the August of 1955, over in western-Pennsylvania, where a woman walked into a general store one night. "Evening, Mrs. Waterman. Picking up some beef for your Husband?" the store owner said to her, asking. "Good evening, Mr. Baxter, yes sir. Mr. Waterman is expecting his steak tonight" Mrs. Waterman replied to him, with a smile. "Ah, I understand" Mr. Baxter said to her, with a grinning-face. As Mrs. Waterman walked over to the deli of the general store, Mr. Baxter saw a pale-white humanoid creature outside of the door. It was bald and had no mouth. As it peered into his store with its blinking pupil less-eyes of pure white, the monster scraped its long, black, clawed-hands on the glass of the door. The thing's body was had no features on it, just smooth, pale flesh. Mr. Baxter gasped in terror at it with wide-eyes. "Mr. Baxter, I found a steak to buy please sir!" the voice of Mrs. Waterman called out to him. "Huh. Oh, good Mrs. Waterman! Coming ma'am" he said, looking the other way. He looked back at the door, seeing the monster was now gone. Mr. Baxter headed over to his deli from the cracker aisle.

The pale humanoid monster was back outside the door, scraping its claws on the glass again. "THE DRINK! THE DRINK!" it seemed to call out in a high-screechy-voice, even though it didn't have a mouth. There was a strange red slime within a bottle on the countertop by the cash-register. Mr. Baxter wrapped up a huge steak from his deli and handed it to Mrs. Waterman. Mrs. Waterman turned her head, seeing the monster outside. She screamed and Mr. Baxter screamed, looking out at it too. The hairless, white humanoid creature scurried away from the door. "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT, MR. BAXTER??" Mrs. Waterman said, asking and screaming in fear. "That creature lives in the lake behind my store here, Mrs. Waterman. I found a bottle full of red slime. I hooked it while I was fishing earlier this afternoon!" he explained to her. Mr. Baxter and Mrs. Waterman walked to the counter and Mr. Baxter picked the bottle of the red slime up. "This is it ma'am" he said to her. "Oh, my!" Mrs. Waterman said, making a disgusting face.

"I saw that thing poke its head up, out of the lake today a few feet away from the shore where I was at. I ran for it" Mr. Baxter said to Mrs. Waterman. "Oh my!" she responded. A crook walked into the general store then and pointed a gun at Mr. Baxter suddenly. He and Mrs. Waterman both gasped in terror. "Every dollar and cent into the sack mister now!" the crook demanded of Mr. Baxter then. "Alright, sir, whatever you want. Don't shoot the lady either!" Mr. Baxter responded, scared and opened his cash register, dropping the money into the crook's sack. The door opened, the creature of pale-white, sticking one of its clawed-hands onto the door-frame. It raced over to the counter, as Mrs. Waterman screaming in horror and clutched the crook's head with both of its long and black clawed-hands. The crook screamed, dropping his sack on the floor and firing his gun in the air. Mr. Baxter screamed as well and the monster jerked the crook's head, twisting it around and killed him instantly. Both Mr. Baxter and Mrs. Waterman screamed in more horror at the scene. The humanoid-creature called in its screechy high-voice to Mr. Baxter, "THE DRINK! THE DRINK!". The monster pointed a clawed-finger at the bottle of red slime and Mr. Baxter picked it back up and handed it to the thing then.

The monster put it to its mouthless-face and the red slime absorbed into its flesh, the thing making gulping sounds as if it were drinking. The thin monster with the clawed-hands and long, black clawed-feet grabbed the corpse of the crook by its neck and raced out of the general store, screeching away into the night. Mrs. Waterman dropped her wrapped up steak on the counter and she and Mr. Baxter ran out of the store together. They ran behind the store to the shore of the lake and saw the thing splashing in the water, along with the dead body floating on its back beside it. The monster screeched some more and waved one of its clawed-hands at Mrs. Waterman and Mr. Baxter. It then dove down, into the water and was gone. The corpse then sank down, into the water. Three more bottles of red slime popped up, out of the water by the shore and Mr. Baxter pulled them out of the lake then. "Mrs. Waterman, this monster lives in this lake back here and drinks these bottles of red-colored slime!!" he explained to her, realizing. "Why, yes, Mr. Baxter, it seems to. It saved us from the crook" she responded.

Good thing that monster from the lake returned to Mr. Baxter's store JUST IN SLIME eh? It SCREAMS like it stays pretty much ALL BOTTLED UP within the lake GHOST OF THE TIME aha-ha-ha-ha! Anyways, I hope the meal was good kiddies! Now, FEAR'S THE BILL hee-hee-hee-hee.
