Death Milk

Monica returned to her house in the North West of England after having a few drinks with friends at a nearby pub. Surprisingly, no one was awake when she came back, just before midnight. The effects of the alcohol starting to get to her head, she decided to make herself a cheese sandwich to balance off the fact that she had drunk on an empty stomach. She took out a large chunk of cheddar and left it on the kitchen counter, the urge to use the toilet becoming suddenly overwhelming. After going and coming back, she found to her surprise that the cheese was nowhere to be found. Getting even more confused that the alcohol made her, she shook her head and went to the refrigerator. The cheddar not being in there either, she took out some edam and made her sandwich. She then went to her room and drifted off to sleep.

She woke up the next morning to her mother's yelling. The voice in all its volume did not seem to care that she was asleep and demanded an answer to what she had down to the kitchen 'when she came in drunk' the night before. Groggily, Monica walked to the kitchen and peered inside, her eyes popping open at the sight. Small puddles of milk and slices of cheddar cheese covered the floor as if their kitchen had been the venue of the biggest dairy celebration the night before. Thinking that she must have caused the mess, although she was pretty sure she did not, she simply cleared it up quietly. A large jersey cow started to appear outside the house even though they lived in a large town with no cows nearby. Every morning, it would appear and look in through the kitchen window as if trying to find out what was going on inside the house.

Monica's aunt who attended spiritual meetings on a regular basis said that she had been contacted by an animal spirit named Daisy and asked Monica whether she had any idea what that meant. Obviously, Monica was just as puzzled as her. This went on for the next three weeks. The night before those three weeks were up, the cow appeared on their driveway one night as well. The very next day, Monica's aunt was found dead. After examinations were carried out, it was found that she died under strange circumstances. Because of this, an investigation took place. She was found to be one of the first victims of the human version of the Mad Cow disease. The cow was never to be seen again.
