Land Of the Monsters!

Chapter 1: Lines in the Sand.

It has been seven years since the creations of Scum Labs successfully destroyed most of mankind. What little remains hides in the ruins of old cities or have retreated underground. Now, the world itself has been split up amongst the monsters in a constant struggle for food, water, and power. The monsters are mainly split, and struggle to find large populations of animals or humans, to feast upon.

Our story begins with a battle taking place in what would have been known as Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Rhett was stalking a group of humans from the Carolinas when he found that his food had already been taken by Crock who was lying in wait for the convoy to arrive. Enraged, Rhett charges towards the amphibious monster hoping his speed will serve him well. Crock, who was not expecting the cowardly Rhett to charge forward is knocked back a bit, crashing into a ruined office building.

Crock shakes himself and jumps to his feet snarling at the overgrown rodent. Crock instinctively bites at Rhett's arm clamping his powerful jaw down on Rhett's arm. Rhett squeals and in the monster language seems to big for Crock's forgiveness, however Crock has tasted blood and he continues to sink his teeth further into Rhett's arm until the teethe are hitting the muscle tissue.

Blood leaks everywhere, and the street becomes a sickening red as Rhett yells out in pain. Crock becomes annoyed by Rhett's annoying cries and lets go after roaring in an assertive manner over Rhett. Rhett runs of still bleeding while Crock turns to search Jacksonville, keeping tabs on Rhett's scent.

Similar encounters seem to be happening with other monsters across the world, however it also seems that at the same time the monsters are increasing in intelligence and craftiness.
