Chapter 4 - The jaws of the creature.

As I look back at those memories I let out a slight chuckle. How foolish were we, thinking we could survive?

my mind became calm and the immediate threat of the monsters no longer bothered my mind. I took a breathe, turned 90° and began to walk. My walk became a stride, my stride became a jog, my jog became a run, and finally my run became a sprint.

My eardrums ringing from the volume and frequency of the shriek. I opened my eyes and turned around. I stared at the thing. As I looked at it it's face almost seemed to smile. It reached for me with a big hand and it tightly squeezed my torso. It's jaw unhinged form its place further contorting it's face. it's bottomless mouth got closer to my head I shut my eyes and....
