Prologue

"What the heck is that!?" I exclaimed while frantically fleeing from creatures that seemed to be straight from a horror movie.

People were running and shouting like me, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The sound they made was unsettling and nothing like the screams you hear in movies. They were real, and everything happening was not a poorly-written movie plot.

The sight of a lady falling caused my breath to catch as my stomach dropped. The realization written all over her face was horror. She knew. I knew.

It was only for a split second that I took my focus away from the lady when I saw that a scaly monster was slinking up to her, its claws drawn and ready to slice. And it did. Its physique reminded me of Blue, the velociraptor from Jurassic World, albeit without the hawk's head and or the possibility of a human-friendly disposition.

This is not happening! I tried to reason that everything was just a nightmare from all the gory movies I'd watched, yet I knew in my guts this was real. Somehow, giant monsters were out to get us!

There was an extremely piercing shriek. I knew it had to be from one of the things that were closing in on us. And sure enough, after a daring peek, while still moving quickly, I saw that I was being pursued by yet another enormous monster. Its humanoid body coupled with its black fur and sharp teeth got me gulping from fear.

I never imagined myself as a happy human meal for giant lizards, and I want it to stay un-imagined and unreal. With that in mind, I set out to prove that I could outrun even Usain Bolt.
