It was a sunny day, light wind good for having a picnic or
flying a kite, but oddly there was just silence. No laughter of the
children playing games or running around in the parks. No
sounds of people going to lunch. No honks from angry drivers,
no dogs barking, no music playing just silence. A white van with
the words Emergency Medical and Protection Agency of New
Mexico printed on the side drove in to town and parked in the
middle of the street. The driver door opened and a man with a
biohazard suit and a Geiger counter stepped out. The other door
open and a man also with a Biohazard suit stepped out. Walking
toward the center of town the Geiger counter started to click
rapidly, one of the men pulled out a pistol and turn off the safety
with a click. "Just to be careful" the man. A window shattered
behind them, turning around to where the sound is the man
raised his gun at the window "Come out now." He said. Suddenly
a humanoid figure crawled out and started to limp toward them.
"Don't come any closer!" shouted one of the men. The thing
obviously didn't hear him or care about what he said as it kept
limping towards them. Soon the beast was ten yards away and
they could see, to their horror, it features. It was about 9 feet
tall, in place of a head it had tentacles flaying about. For an arm
it had a huge claw. The skin if you could call it that was moldy
green. One of the men fired at it hitting it dead center in the
chest. The creature slowed but kept going. 6 more rounds were
shot at it all hitting it, quickly the man with the gun fired
another magazine of bullets at it all hitting but never stopping.
The men ran back to the van as fast as they could with out
falling. They saw the van up ahead , but saw more of the things
fast approaching. Some were jumping off roofs to get to them,
others were breaking through windows and doors. Ten feet
away from the van they felt that all hope was lost. Around them
in all the streets surrounding the van those things were running
for them. They reached the van and jumped into it. They
stumbled with the keys but managed to get them in to the
ignition but the engine refused to start the second time the
engine turned over and they sped forward running over the
beasts all of the sudden a 12 foot tall beast jumped in the Vans
way and the engine exploded sending the two men through the
windshield, glass tore through their faces as they landed on the
ground, the man with the pistol got up and tryed to limp away
from the things but was over taken he fell on the ground
"PLEASE! don't hurt me I ju-" he screamed but was cut short
when the creatures ripped him to shreds with their claws.
