Glancing upwards where the voice abruptly emerged from. There existed an enormous dark thin creature with two red glowing eyes staring back at him.
Strengthening in with the height of over 6-7 meters tall and the eerie human-like smile on its face... such a picture would immediately horrify any ordinary human if it were to be glimpsed.
The sky had already dimmed a bit added with the color of the greenish nature that had altered into hazy black. Giving the view of such a creature a taste of ghastly and dread coated behind him.
Though it had been a sheer second within his first glance. It instantly frightened him throughout his entirety.
His scalp went senseless as his pupils broadened with a glimmer of fear!.
Gazing back dumbly towards the creature as his body appeared to be petrified... incapable to move.
If previously breathing was difficult enough... now it had landed to a full halt as his back was drenched in a cold sweat.
'Noooo!! I can't move and speak! what's happening!'
He shrieked internally as his body shivered in tension.
The monster kept on staring down towards him as the smile widened more and more until it filled in the lower half of its face.
The sluggish wind gently blew by as the tree's sheet fluttered... barely adding in the already frightening sight with an even more depressing atmosphere.
"So... aren't you gonna rip me apart in half?"
The monster unexpectedly spoke as it was squatting down towards the man. The two glowing eyes the size of a football gazed intensely towards the man... as the eerie smile on the monster's face revealed a line of upsetting red teeth bathed with blood.
"Come on... I'm waiting"
The monster once again spoke in a heavy growling voice. Sadly the man was powerless to move nor talk.
All he could do was to pray inside his heart. Pray that his demise would be beautiful enough that there will be no pain.
5 seconds passed...
10 seconds passed...
30 second...
and soon enough a full one minute had departed by as the same picture still transpired. The ever-smiling monster and the small puppet.
Waiting for death as he had already realized his fate was plugged from the minute this monster appeared.
"Awww... what a pitiful human. Bold words but no backing inside it... "
The monster slowly lamented as he unfolded his arm... seemingly to be disappointed. While doing so... the monster slowly veered his gaze away from the human as he stood back up on his two sickle-like feet.
"Oh well... have fun little ant"
The monster spoke as in the following moment the monster walked away. The man behind finally fell onto his knees with his desperate gasp of air...
plummeting onto the ground, the man instantly coughed for air as his eyes ogled intensely at the back of the terror.
Fear, confusion, and several other feelings surged his mind as such an abrupt action made by the monster was too odd.
Would a monster spare a human life just because it was boring?.
Surely that would not be the case or could it be the final certainty?. But one thing for sure had happened and that was he was still alive.
*Thump!* *thump!* *thump*
Silence gradually engulfed the whole area as the only sound that could be heard was the monster's heavy footsteps.
Slowly leaving without looking back as if those words from before were true. But deep down inside his heart... he knew that something is not right.
'I have to get out of here... but my injuries might not allow me to do so... even if I managed to escape from this forest. My condition won't allow me to live longer. damn it!'
The man secretly thought inside his heart as he was still staring with alertness.
As the monster was walking away... the man still hasn't realized it... the smile on the monster's face... it was still there.
*Thump* *thump* thump!*
The everlasting heavy footstep sounds rippled across the area as it slowly unfolded and dripped into the man's pair of ears.
Suddenly, the monster paused in his steps entirely as it stood tall with its back overlooking the hopeless man.
At the height of 7 meters with a thin body.
A horrible face added with the eerie, human-like smile covering the lower half of its face. A creature... of a nightmare.
Seeing this... panic clasped the man's heart as his body began to shudder once again.
Not knowing what would occur next... the fear of the unknown. Dots of sweat seeped about on his forehead as he slowly clamped his fist in urgency.
'I knew it! I knew it! this monster is a fraud! a fraud!'
He Yelled inside his heart.
'Damn it! damn it! I can't die like this! I can't!-'
As he was busy mumbling those words within...
The monster's head rotated 180 degrees facing him as the smile on it become wider and broader.
One's eyes could even glimpse that the blood basin mouth was filled with wriggling worms. A horrible sight indeed!. The moonlight shaded about onto the land... vacating behind the enormous darkness shrouding the whole forest.
The gust flew by with no quickness, enlarging in the calming death noise of the darkness.
The man's expression directly came to be unsightly as it was filled with terror in the next moment.
"Noooo!!!!"
