Once upon a time was a girl who worked in a small café in a mall. Sometimes, she worked very early in the morning and she'd be pretty much the only person in the whole mall for an hour. One morning, the girl got to work. It was winter, so at this time, it was really dark inside. A few feet from her she saw a man sweeping the floor. The man was surprised when he saw her and exclaimed : "Wow, you scared me." Then he proceeded to tell her that there seemed to be an iguana wandering in the mall. Indeed, when he had passed the pet shop by, he saw an empty cage with an opened door. The key was even still on the door. So this was why the man was nervous.

The girl went to work smiling to herself and wondering how the hell they would find the missing iguana.

She started baking the food and grinding the coffee, and quickly forgot about the iguana story.

When she suddenly heard a noise. She freezed and took a listen. She must've imagined it because everything was quiet now. Plus, she always heard weird noises in the morning. But the noise came again and then she was certain someone was at the back.

She walked to the backstore and when she opened the door, she saw... a giant iguana ! The iguana had turned into a huge, drooling monster which was looking at her with a mean look in the eyes. The iguana took a step forward...

All right, I'm stopping now.
But you believed me for a sec, didn't you ? You thought I had really found the iguana in the backstore of the café, right ?
To make things clear, it's all true until the end of the third paragraph. There still might be a wandering iguana in the mall, but it doesn't seem to have turned into a killing monster. When I heard that story, this morning, though, it just sounded like the perfect beginning of some horror movie. Thank you. Autographs later.
