Nervous about what could be happening in there, you press your ear against the door between you and the animals. You can hear speaking from the other side.
"I'll take out his ankles as soon as he tries to run," on voice says.
"Good," says the other, "then I can bite him on the head."
Are they talking about you? You're not sure, but nothing about this is normal, so you're not waiting around to find out. You turn and run. As per the plan, Russell the cat burst out through the door in a shower of splinters. He's transformed from a house cat to a mountain lion, and when he swipes at your ankles, they're sliced cleanly open. As you tumble to the ground, Russell the dog bounds out from behind the cat. He's been transformed into a giant snarling hellhound; it only takes a single bite from his powerful jaws to crush your head.
