-- this is a Friday the 13th special so it will be very messed up *insert evil laughter here* --
Owen has always been a sort of sad child since he's an only child whose parents are always worried about the bills and how they're going to get by. To make matters worse, he has had a rare skin disease and his parents had to always pay for skin treatments which made paying the bills even harder. But his parents stopped taking him to the doctor about a year ago and instead had given him some special lotion to make the condition better.
One day as Owen was sitting alone in his room he had heard a noise out in the living room. He walked out there to see that his parents were home and with them was a dog. "Mom, why do you and Dad have a dog?" Owen had asked his parents suspiciously. He knew that his parents couldn't afford a pet so it's really odd of them to bring a dog home.
"Umm you seemed kinda sad so we uh bought you a dog?" His mom had answered him, but it sounded like a question. Owen was already not trusting this new dog by both the way his mother had stated why they got the dog and because the dog kept growling at the young boy.
"Son, have you put on your special lotion recently?" His father had asked him.
"No, not today." Owen had replied back while looking down because he was ashamed.
"You need to put it on everyday or our problems won't be solved." His father had said quite angrily.
"But...but it smells funny. I don't like it. Wait, what problems would be solved? You said our problems, but it would only be my problems that would be solved. I'm the one dealing with the skin disease, not you."
"Don't worry about the smell." The father replied. "And well you're our problem and we have to get rid of you." The father had said, but he only whispered that part to where only he and Owen's mother could hear. They laughed about it while Owen just looked confused.
Owen had put the lotion on and walked back out to the living room. "So can I please know the real reason behind the dog now?" He asked pleadingly.
His mother and father looked at each other knowingly and nodded. The mother then began, "well might as well tell you now since it won't matter soon anyways. We have a lot of bills to pay and you with your skin disease and all really don't help. If we didn't have to deal with you then life would be easier for us."
"Mom what are you talking about?" Owen asked worriedly.
"Well you know that special lotion we've been having you put on?" She asked with a laugh. "It's meat scented. Too bad the stupid dogs next door didn't care much for the scent so we had to get our own dog. We tried forever for them to attack you, but they just wouldn't. The stupid neighbors had taught their dogs to behave, those idiotic people. That's why we went out and bought our own dog, a vicious one at that." The mother had now burst out laughing along with Owen's father.
"But why would you want me to get attacked by dogs?" Owen asked fearfully while backing away from them.
"Because a dog is cheaper to deal with than an annoying child like you." His father said as he took the leash off the dog and pushed him towards his own child.

Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating in a while and sorry this story isn't very good. I just realized about an hour ago that it was Friday the 13th so I had to come up with and write a messed up story for you all. I don't want to miss the chance to write a messed up story and be able to blame it on the day it is! Hahaha so anyways please tell me what you think of this. Is it a little too messed up, not messed up enough, or what? Sorry if it makes no sense, but none of my stories make sense anyways. Thanks for reading! :)
