Fear of the Neutorist By Irvin Safavi Once, in a stormy, dark night in San Franciscur, Doger Wolfavi was going

camping with his much older cousin, Puppert. This night would be the reveal to his soon-to-be terror. Doger was a handsome pooch with very little flaws. He resembled a wolf, with white and grey fur. His teeth were sharp, with almost vampire-like fangs, but didnt talk very much. Puppert was about twenty-five years older than Doger. He was a husky with grey fur. He had distinct emerald green eyes, which could be noticed even in a snowstorm. He was very smart, and Doger looked up to him. The wide car, which Puppert driving, came to a stop. There was very much traffic. In that rainy, slippery long drive, Puppert decided that, Im going to tell you about movies that I watched before. He told him about a movie about some one who had a paw that had a mind of its own. He also told him about a movie someones wife was frozen, because there was no cure for her disease. He then told him about a movie that stuck in his mind forever. This movie was so scary, that even the twenty-five years after he watched it he remembered so well. It was the Neutorist! A puppy, which was possessed by a veterinarian, wanted to neuter every single dog that came by. Puppert was so scared he hardly could watch it at all. They didnt let the puppies who were in it, watch it. What movie could have made my cousin that scared even to this day? Doger thought to himself, I shouldnt watch it if its that scary. You shouldnt watch it, I highly recommend that. Puppert said, almost reading Dogers mind. However Doger thought to himself, He was younger then, he wouldnt scared now, right? For the next few years, as Doger grew up, he avoided the Neutorist. He knew more about it through parodies. The Possessed Puppy head twisted 360, the most known thing in that movie. Then one day he decided to have some Father and Son time with his father. His father looked much like Doger, but older and taller. They went to Balmart, to go shopping.

Then they went to a Halloween store. It was near the date of Halloween, so his father decided check the store for a costume. The floor was tile like any other store. The ceiling was filled with all sorts of ghouls, witches, and vampires. There were many costumes, ranging from horror to superhero. There also a lot of decorations, many were very unnecessary horror items. Skinned puppies that were covered in blood, with its eyes popped out. A dog being eaten alive by a rat, and only half of its body remained, and an innocent puppy, being hanged without its limbs. These didnt frighten Doger, they were very unsettling, but nothing that would have scared him to wits end. His father didnt find anything good despite searching the entire store. Then they started to leave. As Doger left, he decided to look at a few more decorations. There was the famous Houndenstein, who marched just like the movie. Then the next decoration, for a while he didnt recognize, then, as fast a squirrel scurries away, he realized what he had saw. It was a puppy, with glowing green skin, and bloody scars covered her menacing face. In her hand was a rusted needle with blood. With his paw trembling, he pushed the blood-colored button. The eyes glowed like moonlight, and her neck twisted 360, with cracking noises, her neck was breaking. Then a voice that sounded innocent, that was the complete opposite of her appearance, spoke gibberish. That, uh, wasnt so, uh, bad Doger thought to himself, though being very unsure about his own thoughts. Is this, uh, what Puppert is, uh, afraid of? Just to make sure he wasnt scared, he pressed it again. The Ghastly creature spun her head once more. His body was paralyzed in fear, yet he did not recognize that he was in that state. He left the store trembling. That night, he could not close his eyes; he could see the image of the head spinning. After a couple days, his fear melted away, like butter in frying pan. Then, after half a year, his fear returned to haunt him. It was Dogscar night! The celebrities dressed in their finest suits, and dresses. The black theater was flooded with dogs and awards. Shrilly Crystal hosted the show; he was a very funny pooch. He pretended to be in almost all the movies in that year. Then for his next segment, they were counting the most memorable movies. There was Forrest Dump, Spiderdog, and

then the Neutorist. Dogers eyes widened, he felt the paralyzing fear crawl up to him on a much higher level. This may be because it was at the level of real Hollywood effects. Dads home, said his sister, who looked like an orange fox. We should rewind the Dogscar for him. What? Oh no! Doger thought to himself, Ill have to watch it again! Wait, this isnt so bad. Ill watch it to prove to myself that Im not scared! Doger already had other fears; one major one in particular was Moles. Moles (not the blemishes, the animals) scared young Doger, even to now. They had large red hands, with tentacles on their noses. He also had a minor fear of heights, but that was only if he thought he was high up on an unstable place. To add another crippling fear to that list would make poor Doger vulnerable to bullies. He could not let that happen to him, he had to watch it again. His sister stopped the film, and started it over. The joy of watching the humour of Shrilly Crystal, mixed with the utter fear that ate through like acid, was in Dogers mind. He watched it again, and this time he knew, he was scared. For the next few months, he was scarred. He could not sleep at all, staying until 11:00pm on weekdays. He was he easily manipulated too. His sister told him he would show a picture of the Neutorist, if he didnt do what she wanted him to do. Then one night, as he tried another night of sleep, he thought to himself about the Neutorist. I know it isnt real, I know that, He thought but just dont feel comfortable at all, when the fear come to me Then he thought for another few minutes, What if, the only fear, is fear itself? He always heard that term, but never really analyzed what it meant. HEE-HEE a high-pitched laugh, he heard, filled his messy room. What was that? thought Doger, then woke up quickly to scan his room. Then, he saw something that looked like a doll. It was had long wavy hair, with a white gown He got up from his bed to see. Just before he picked up the doll, crack! It twisted its neck to look at Doger. He fell back, and smashed his head against his bed, and then his eyes closed. Then he woke up from his long sleep. He looked at his watch; it was 8:00 am. How is this possible? Doger wondered. The sky was as dark as tires with stars littering the night sky. Then he looked around him, the area was completely empty. I am at home? Then he stepped on

light bulb. What the-? Then he looked up; there was his bed, desk, shelf, and closet. He was upside down. Then he yelled in fear, and his sister replied, Shut up Doger, Im trying to sleep! Then all of a sudden, he heard that high-pitched laugh again, HEE-HEE then the entire room was spinning. Sped up and then slowed down, and when it stopped, he noticed he in his room; correct side up. HEE-HEE, Then out of nowhere, there was that doll again. This time, it seemed it was singing some sort of song. Doger threw a rock at the doll, but before it touched it, the doll turned around and disappeared. Its face resembled the Neutorist girl. Then he realized it was the Neutorist girl. The girl reappeared with the needle, and started charging at Doger. He was petrified in fear, and said out loud The only fear is fear itself. The evil girl stop halted at once. Fear? said the girl, I am fear! Then the girl morphed into a purple humanoid with ruby eyes. I may have not introduced myself properly, said the lanky object I am fear. What? said Doger very confused at this point. You see, said the creature leaping from Dogers bookshelf to his table Some people are afraid of spiders and just as it touched its foot on Dogers table, it became a black widow spider. Then it changed back. Others are afraid of heights. Then suddenly they were falling off a skyscraper. Doger was both amazed and scared from what was happening. And others are terrified of death. Then the creature took out a blade, and slashed at Doger. Doger closed his eyes and when he opened, he was looking at his legs, he was catapitated. There was no blood, nor was he dead. HEE-HEE The creature snapped his fingers and Dogers head was back where it belonged. You cannot overcome me, I will always be here to weigh you down. I will limit what you can do, and maximize what you cant. Then he changed back to the Neutorist, and charged at Doger, with the needle. HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE! Just do it! said Doger closing his eyes and turning away. Err dont you want me to stop? said Fear

Then he realized, he needed to conquer his fear. No, go ahead, enjoy yourself! Doger said. The fear turned back and thought for a while. He turned at Doger, and morphed into his mother. An axe appeared, and swung into her back. She fell down, and her blood-covered hands grabbed onto Dogers legs. She screamed on the top of her lungs, Save me! Save me! then stopped, and turned into bones and a pool of blood. Doger, frozen in shock, tried not to show any fear. Hi, mom, said Doger. How are you? The skeleton rose up, and the blood came with it. It screamed so loudly to the point of Dogers eardrums breaking. Now I wont have to listen to my sisters horrible CDs again. Doger said with a grin. That is enough! said Fear angrily. He jumped up and turned into a giant mole. Doger jumped up, and Fear knew this time he was scared. He charged at Doger once more, and then dug into ground. Doger did not know which way the mole was going to come from. Then suddenly under Dogers feet, came the wicked rodent. Im going to kill you! said Fear in an a deep voice. No, you cant! said Doger. If you did, you would cease to exist. You are a part of me, and you cannot do without me. Yeah, but, uh, that, uh Since youre a part of me, I want you to obey under my rules. Uh, okay. First, dont torment me like that, I really dont like it. Second, get rid of the Neutorist fear Fine! Then in a flash, he was gone. Doger walked outside to watch the sun go up. He was trying to get over what he just saw. All his biggest fears were conjured up in one being. He felt the wet blood on the back of his head. His fur was uneven, and his hearing was quiet. He then started think about what happened to the being. He just left in a blinding flash. Fear is inside my mind. Thats the way its supposed to be. Then birds started chirping, and the sun was high in the sky. Doger noticed what a change the setting was, compared to the dark and evil feeling from the day before.

Doger, why are you so early up today. Said a familiar voice. It was his mother. Doger stared at her as he remembered the sequence before. Oh just to see the sun rise. Then one day Doger returned to the Halloween store. He looked around the store, and found a mask of the Neutorist. He walked up to it. You dont scare me, Doger said quietly to himself, you never will. You are imaginary, and not real. You will never be able to minimize what I can do. Doger conquered his fear for once and for all, and he will never let fear destroy his life again.

THE END
