[ IP ] A new kind of enemy .

`` Bye honey, be careful.'' Adam says. I pat my cat on the back and kiss Adam's cheek as I leave the house. Fighting crime in the city has become a drag. I've fought ghosts, werewolves, and 12 foot monsters, though I'm only 5'4. I wonder what new kind of enemy has come into the city today. I do n't see anything for awhile, but I can hear the screams of citizens waiting to be saved. I'm running down the streets, turn a corner on 56th, and I see it. This monster I've never seen before. I ca n't say it's height because it keeps changing. This flying *thing* is just a blue-ish red glob of slime, getting bigger for every victim it devours. I assume the red swirls on it is from the blood of the people it's eaten. I climb the apartments on my left to get a better aim. I grab my gun from my bag and fire. The bullets go straight through it, and it does n't even seem to hurt it. I ca n't figure out what else to do, then I realize something. The solution is simple -- I hop off the building and grab the hose in Mr. Haltens front lawn and spew water at it. It took a couple tries to hit the monster right on because the water was not as powerful as it needed to be. After awhile, it sunk into the ground in defeat, leaving a few body parts still on the ground. The crowd of people cheered for me as I waved and ran home. I am excited to tell my husband the news, and I want to tell him before he can watch it on television. When I get home, I lock the door behind me and walk straight to the bedroom. `` Darling, I-'' I drop my keys. There, I see on the bed -- my husband, and a stranger on top of him. He is startled, but starts talking immediately, `` Baby, please do n't be mad I just-'' 
 `` No! What the hell, Adam?'' I shout. `` Do n't try to make this okay, I've spent all these years loving you and being faithful and you **cheat** on me? Who *are* you?'' They both get dressed and the woman has left before I can finish yelling. `` Please, I'' ll do anything just let me...'' he stops as I start again. `` Get. Out.'' My voice is not yelling anymore, but holding back tears and angry. He looks at me one last time before he grabs his keys and goes. For once, I feel defeated, like something has died inside of me. My frustration turns into sadness as I break down and cry. Nothing has ever compared to what I felt today. Today, the monster, the enemy, was not the blue-ish red glob on 56th. A new kind of enemy walks my wooden floors for the last time, and slams the door. I flinch at the sound while I sob. A new kind of enemy is the one I once loved; the one I thought I knew.
