The full moon hovers in the clear night sky. Illuminating the small island in the Caribbean. In the middle of el Yunque, there's a white blonde man in a red suit and a Latina woman in her white bikini strolling along the dirt path. The Coqui's lullaby fills the air.
"Isn't it beautiful?" The woman says as she twirls.
"You sure are." The man checks her curvy body out. He notices the tattoo on her back. It's a symbolic image of the Coqui. "Nice tattoo."
"Thank you! It's apparently a symbol of my ancestors. I'm the only generation of my people and my grandparents want me to have kids." She hugs him. "I told them we got the time in the world for that. Right now, I want to have a fun time with you~!" She kisses him.
They start making out. The man caresses her body with one arm and puts his other in his pocket. He surreptitiously pulls out a switchblade, then lightly shoves her to slice her throat. She tries to stop the blood but it keeps flowing out. He pushes her to the ground.
"Tch. You sluts are all the same. You think it's funny when I warn you that you shouldn't be dressed like that in public." He says nonchalantly as he wipes the blood with a handkerchief. Those are the last words the woman hears before choking on her blood. Her body goes limp. The man stands, spits on her face and walks away.
Suddenly, an ear piercing scream erupts in the atmosphere. The man covers his ears, but it doesn't work. More wails join in. The earth around him trembles furiously. Fearing for his life, he takes cover under the trees. The constant cries is making his ears bleed. And then…it stops. He looks around, his ears still ringing.
"Ungh!" He takes out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood. When he looks back, the body is gone. The man scans the area. He notices prints on the ground. It looks human, but the further it goes, the more it looks like a giant reptile's footprints. Following the tracks, he peeks at something big hiding in the tree lines. Its glowing orange eyes catches his attention. Leering at him.
He immediately runs back from where they came. He looks to his side to witness the giant reptilian creature chase after him. He uses every fiber in his body to sprint as fast as his legs allow. Even with the loss of hearing, a disembodied voice whispers in his mind.
WhErE aRE You GoIng, LOve? WE arE OnE. DON'T LEAVE ME!!!
The man feels its presence getting closer. He is near the exit. Out of desperation, he jumps and lands on the pavement. He checks his flank. There's nothing on the treeline.
Sighing with relief, he walks towards his car in the empty parking lot. Something impales through his chest. He has time to see a razor sharp object connected on what seems to be a tongue, before getting pulled back into the woods.
