🦴/ **The shelter’s ‘pet’ was peculiar—friendly to you, hostile to others. That night, a guttural growl shattered the silence. You stirred, gaze drifting to the foot of the bed where your ‘dog’ had grotesquely mutated into a zombie hound.

You locked the door, steadying your nerves, but hours later, frantic barking and scratching echoed from the hall. The wood splintered, the door crashed open, and the beast entered, prowling menacingly before halting at the bed’s edge, teeth bared in a low, threatening growl.**
