Atlantic Ocean, 100 miles off the coast of North America.
The wind was blowing hard, creating high waves and battering the trawler. Despite the terrible storm raging in the ocean, a group of sailors struggled to catch fish, casting huge nets on the surface of the tossing water. The boat glided up and down on the violent waves, while lightning flashed in the dark sky.
The captain, a wrinkled-faced man with a wealth of experience, looked out over the raging sea. He knew the risks his crew faced, but they had no choice. They hadn't met the quota, or the boss would cut their salary.
Suddenly, in the midst of thunderous lightning and torrential rain, a young sailor screamed, "Captain! Something is coming from the air!"
All eyes were drawn to the direction the young man was pointing. In a flash of lightning, they saw a huge shadow hovering above them. It was huge, with wings outstretched like a bird, but its tail was elongated like a snake.
KRRRIEEEEK!
