'Everything was going so well today, so how did I end up here!' I mentally screamed in my head, terrified as to what was happening...

(Flashback time!)

The morning went by fairly easy, woke up, had breakfast, then dressed up. But the second I took a step out of my house things seemed...strange...and hot. Looking around I could see that the sun was beating down hard on the city, surprisingly more so then when I had first worked. Waves of heat had formed on the roads which all left me worried and sweaty, I did not want what happened several days earlier to repeat it self, neither did I want people to worry about me feinting again, it would just be to much for me to handle.

"Phew, it's gotten really warm out..." Warm was definitely an understatement, if I was going to do anything today I knew I would have to find something cool me down, and where better then the boardwalk!

I make my way down the street for several minutes passing several people, some of whom I quickly recognized, all of who just like me thought it was a good idea to be out in this heat. Personally it wasn't as bad as I would have thought, considering that I wasn't in my work suit this was certainly a lot better, looking at what I had worn had helped too, even if it looked a little plain.

I had worn a blank white T-shirt worn for just the heat, it fit snug to me but yet left enough room for air to pass through leaving me a little more at ease; Olive cargo pants left my lower half well protected from the heat, these were perfect for today, they left my legs feeling well ventilated and held both my phone and most importantly my wallet; white socks were covered by the shoes that I had worn yesterday, it's patched work left me wondering how I could find such worn pieces of footwear comfortable but this I didn't even know.

After several minutes of walking through down the street, the heat radiating around me leaving me sweating bullets, somehow it seemed like it actually got hotter the closer I got to the boardwalk.

After a sweaty but quick march I eventually made it to turn that would leave me facing the entirety of the boardwalk, but before I could turn the corner I had heard a loud terrified shriek, the voice sounded young as it had cracked as it had screamed, this had left me to hurry around the corner to see what could possibly be happening.

I was met by an unusual yet terrifying sight, before me I saw a small boy with blonde curly hair standing terrified, he stood staring at an enormous creature, it had resembled a large salamander with bright orange scales covering it's body, only leaving reddish brown spots tracing down its back and leading into the entirety of its tail, steady flames were pouring out of its back leaving the area in its steady heat; its six legs coloured the same orange as the rest of its body, one half of its appendages were placed on the several buildings lining the boardwalk while the other was placed firmly on the wooden flooring; surprisingly though it held only one eye, it's green iris stared directly at the boy, with the other socket being filled with what looked to be a flaming red agate.

"(Whimper), wha-what's happening?" Cried out the terrified boy, looking at him I could see his legs were buckling as he stood terrified unable to love, this was met by the slow stalking of the salamander. This thing looked nearly as big as a small bus, this thing was dangerous and I had to do something, anything, but what could I do?

Without thought I took a swift step to the side and began to wave my arms around like a madman, screaming at the top of my lungs I ran towards the sandy beach with my brown hair swaying violently in the wind. Looking around I could see that the monster thankfully lost interest in the boy, but this left me in the undesirable position of interest.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I shrieked as I ran as quick as I could possibly can, this left me at just about several feet ahead of the creature which was gaining on me...quickly.

(Flashback Done!)

'Everything was going so well today, so how did I end up here!' As panicked as I could ever possibly be I felt a surge of adrenaline pass through me, thankfully this left me at just about the same speed as the giant lizard that followed behind. As thankful as I was for this newfound speed this left me in so much of a haze of panic and sweat that I had just passed the Big Donut and unknowingly making my way further into the beachside, as well as the home of Steven.

I had eventually made my way to the turn that would leave me facing the small beach house, looking behind me though I could see that the creature was closing in quickly as it left its maw open revealing its teeth, this thankfully gave me a quick yet short jolt of energy as I began to outpace it once again, however 'it' had noticed this as well.

Seeing the flames on its back recede into its own body, a flurry of flames began to form deep in its throat, this was looking real bad as the flames began to brighten in colour, luckily enough for me however I had just reached the corner and quickly shot around it.

Without even needing to look back I felt the intense scorching heat behind me as I finally saw the small beach house that rested on its small hill.

"Help!" I yelled out hoping to capture the attention of anyone, this was met with a small figure make its way out the house, it's shape was tall and square, they motioned their hand into the home as if the call for help, turning around I saw that the Salamander had caught up without me noticing.

Panting with exhaustion and sweat pouring down my body I was quickly losing energy, my body was quickly feeling this as my arms weakly flung from side to side and my legs began to feel like rubber.

I was losing footing in the loose sand as one mistake left me see everything stop. I fell to the sand seeing every grain fly away. The monster slowly making its way to me.

This left me speechless as I closed my eyes.
