"MONSTERS FROM ANOTHER TIME"
In the darkness of the evening sky, the Congo region of Zaire was calm, with a short breeze blowing through the trees, giving a feel of calmness to Chris Martin. Chris was taking a vacation in the Congo to explore the beautiful forests and to get a better experience of everything around him. He snickered. That was bullshit. The real reason he was there was because his stupid father had made him go visit his Aunt Angelina Costello for the week, and to get away from the United States. However, this was his first time to finally get away from her the whole trip and spend time with the one person he actually wanted to spend this vacation with.
Chris's best friend, Scott Holand was walking beside him as the two moved through the jungle. Scott had came along because this was his first chance to be with his best friend since Chris had started going out with his girlfriend Lauren. Just the thought of that girl gave Scott shivers down his spine. Chris was hardly ever around him anymore because of that girl, and he hated every little bit of it. That's why he'd came along with Chris when he'd found out that his best friend was going to Africa for a whole week. Scott didn't care about meeting people or seeing the sights. All he wanted to do was spend time with his best buddy and this was so far his first chance to do so since they'd arrived. That stupid aunt of Chris's had been keeping them from doing anything for the past three days, and it was just too much for both of them. So they'd finally decided to run off for a few hours. Angelina wouldn't miss them. She had an attention disorder and probably wouldn't realize that she was being robed if someone actually wanted any of the trash that the woman had. She was a complete slob.
The two boys suddenly emerged from the forest area, entering into a large clearing that was just spectacular. The view was amazing. There was yellow grass for miles and a beautiful mountain in the distance.
"This is just beautiful man," Chris said smiling while he looked out at the surroundings.
"Yeah dude," Scott agreed. "I'm just glad that you brought me along. Until now though we haven't been able get away from your Aunt." Scott shivered again at the thought of that horrid woman. He thought she was scarier then Michael Myers.
Chris snickered. "I'm glad I brought you along too man. I needed some time away from Lauren." That was truer than he'd wanted to admit. Lauren was driving him nuts. She always wanted to be around him 100 percent of the time. He seemed to never get any time to be with any of his friends anymore, especially Scott. He'd known Scott for a very long time and yet he hadn't been around him for almost a year now. He'd been considering breaking up with Lauren for quite awhile, but it wasn't just that she was taking up all of his time. She'd also been cheating on him with several other guys for months. She'd always have some kind of lie to tell him afterwards, but he was no fool. Chris knew very well what was going on, and he was going to make sure she knew it when he got home. The only reason he hadn't already was because he was madly in love with her and she was the first girlfriend he'd ever had.
Chris Martin was a very good-looking guy to be only fifteen. He wasn't all that muscular, but his looks made up for that. The only thing that was missing was a girlfriend, but when Lauren finally came into his life he felt as if he was on top of the world.
Scott rolled his eyes at remembering the girl that he despised. He just wanted to forget all about her and enjoy this vacation. Scott wasn't much for girls. He would go out with them if one would give him a chance, but Scott wasn't a jock or a football player so he stood very little chance. He didn't really know why Chris was able to finally get a girl. He guessed it was because Chris was a basketball player last year. That had to be the only possible reason.
Suddenly a low purring sound was heard in the distance. This purring was nothing that neither boy had ever heard of before. It was definitely nothing that would be made by a member of the cat family. Then the boys heard a loud ear splitting roar that seemed very close.
Scott began to shake violently. He was scared out of his mind. "I think we better get back to your Aunt's dude."
As those words came out of his mouth, a humongous monster came crashing through the foliage and into the clearing. The animal's head had a long crocodilian type snout with two sharp rows of teeth. It also had long forearms and sharp claws. It stared at the two boys and then roared at them.
Chris and Scott immediately turned and started off in the opposite direction. The animal gave chase roaring loudly behind them. They could both feel the sickening and horrifying footsteps from the creature behind them.
As the two continued running through the clearing they started to realize that they were running upon a very large, run down complex near the foliage. The two started for the complex and went through a large gate like structure along with a humongous fence that was in the place. Inside there were a several buildings and signs pointing in different directions. The boys seemed to both have the same idea as they ran for the front entrance of a building that was inside the complex.
The creature was beginning to slow down; looking too frightened to enter the complex, and finally gave up the chase to try to find slower prey. The two kids entered the building to hopeful safety

As soon as they entered the lobby, they found themselves being attacked by a broom! Suddenly the attacking stopped as the man behind the broom realized what he was attacking. He backed off and just fell to the ground, coughing.
Both boys stood and stared at the man as he lain there. He looked very tired and injured as if he were covered in blood.
"What happened to you," Chris asked very concerned.
"I've been to hell and back," the man replied.
"Can you tell us what happened," Scott said repeating the same question.
The man sighed as he sat before the kids in complete pain and agony. "You really don't want to know, but if you must I'll tell you both the horrific tale of Jurassic Congo."
