Prologue
Character- Unknown
It turned out everything went wrong. My breathing increased as explosions sounded off and huge pieces of cement flew past me. My heartbeat was so loud I was afraid someone would hear it.
Or better yet something....
I couldn't believe this was happening. My brain was trying to block out all the images of what could happen to me. And it wasn't pretty. Being torn to shreds is never pretty. Not by a creature or even a human being.
But it was all happening. The infestation was growing worst and worst by the second. As I stand here in fear against this wall I knew that those creatures grew in numbers by the milli-second. That was their specialty. With every one they loss, they seemed to have double to replace their old comrades.
In-human cries mixed in with some mortal cries. Another explosion sounded and rock and other sorts of debris splashed down from the roof, hitting the tiled floor below me.
I had to get out of here and fast.
I poked my head around the corner and saw what was left of my current lab. I shook my head in disappointment, almost ready to cry over all my papers being burned to nothing. All evidence of everything I had done is now gone, lost forever. It would take years to replace what I've done so far.
But I wouldn't have those years if I didn't move NOW.
The coast seems clear so I bolted across the room, hopping over the huge chunks of the broken roof that had fallen. I ran out the door, into the familiar halls. Dead bodies were piled on top of another, faces showing extreme signs of pain. Blood covered the walls, making it hard to see the paint. It was like walking down a hall straight to hell.
Only this was all real, and the pain was very much real.
Gun shots sounded off not too far away. My safety could be at hand if I could only reach the marines. I ran as quickly as my legs would take me. I wasn't made to do so much physical activity; I was definitely going to be sore tomorrow if there is a tomorrow.
My ears were beginning to ring from the over-excessive noise going on around me. But it wasn't hard to recognize a creature's caw from behind me. I didn't want to look, but out of instinct I did.
I wish I hadn't.
