Just a silly little story that held my captive last night.

The events in this little story and simple puzzle are entirely fictitious.


One night not so long I was visiting a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in really quite some time. A friendly wolf who mostly kept to themselves. The evening was pleasant but the midnight oil was beginning to dwindle. The last conversation we had went like this:

Friend: I like having you here Leo: Yeah, it's been good seeing ya again Friend: Will you stay tonight? There's a spare room. Leo: Eh sure, it's a bit late to be walking home anyway. Friend: Kill some time here then, it gets lonely here all by myself... Leo: Agreed, living alone can be tough. Friend: You look exhausted, You should probably go to bed and head straight to sleep. Leo: It has been a long day to be fair. Friend: In the morning I'll have a lot to take care of. We should sleep Leo: Sure, see you in the morning Friend: Your room is the first bedroom on the right, just go to sleep Leo: Goodnight Friend: Sleep Tight

At the time I thought nothing of it and why should I? We both looked tired and promptly, I at least. Headed to bed. In a short time though... I began to shake. I could feel my palms go sweaty and a cold shiver ran down my spine as I thought about the conversation we had. I had to get out now! I listened at the door and waited for my 'friend' to go to his room. No sooner than they did, I had the window open so I could climb out and run all the way home as quick as my paws could carry me. Hoping never to see him again.

The question however is... what scared me?
