Brian wouldn't say where he'd found it but Paula suspected he'd been in the old house with the collapsing roof surrounded by "Danger! Keep Out!" signs.
"It doesn't look much like an egg, " she said poking the grey square thing with her finger. It felt warm and squidgy.
Brian slapped her hand.
"Stop that," he said. "You'll upset her."
"Her?"
Ignoring Paula, he wrapped it in a blanket and placed it in the wardrobe next to his sneaker collection.
That night, Paula's sleep was shattered by Brian's scream.
Whatever was inside had broken loose, eaten all his shoes and disappeared.
