When I got to the first floor, everyone was staring at the metal shutter that blocked the way outside. That was odd. A young man with glasses came up.
"Why is everyone just standing here?..."
The gangster dude appeared out of nowhere.
"What's going on?"
"The shutters are down and the maintenance room is locked."
The guy with the glasses walked up to the door with a fire extinguisher.
"I think I can fix that…"
He hesitated…then swung
CRUNCH!
After a few more swings, the door handle fell off.
One man ran inside and pressed a button.
The shutters started to rise.
None of us were watching the doors.
A man with a trembling voice called out.
"W-w-w-what's t-t-that?!"
The shutters were rising steadily. They were about halfway up.
"Close the shutter…"
This was from the gangster guy who was watching the door intently.
I looked and nearly ran right then and there.
A person was standing there but it had a super long neck and his face looked like it swelled, deflated, and then stretched. The shutters finished rising.
"..."
CRASH! Tinkle tinkle.
The monster's proboscis tongue shot through the glass and started thrashing about.
