Scary Short Story
I remember reading this short story as a child, but I'm not sure where. I think it was called Talypo. (Or Tailypo--I don't know.)
Basically, someone chops off the tail of some sort of creature and eats it. And then, they start to hear something outside, and their dog is terrified.
I think this is what the creature says: ""Talypo...Talypo...give me back my Talypo...you have got it, that I know....give me back my Talypo..."
Needless to say, something horrible happens either to the guy or the dog.
This story might have been in Tales For The Midnight Hour, or something similar. Whatever it was, it was supposed to be a kids book of scary stories.
Does anyone else remember this story?
