Chapter 1 Story 6: Creatures

Ryder was a 30 year old man. He was staring at a waterfall from a hill. The water rushed down. He was as depressed as every morning these days. He remembered how everything began.

He was just 28 at the time. He had been asleep when he heard screaming outside. He looked out of his apartment window. He saw burning buildings and seemingly gigantic bugs destroying buildings. One of them crushed a child. Swat officers shot at them.

That memory of him first seeing the chaos. Would always stick in his memory. When all of the sudden he heard a screech in the distance. It sounded like one of the damn space bugs again.

When he turned around. He saw one of them in the distance. He ran and ran when the creature jumped in the air. It slammed onto its legs. Which made Ryder jump into the air. He let out a scream of horror. He landed onto his shoulder. He got back up right as a leg came towards him. He saw the leg and dove foward.

The leg smashed into the ground. He ran faster and faster. The creature was only 20 feet away. The creature started to sprint. He turned down a trail. The monster had not seen him run down that trail. The monster ran down straight ahead. He had a sigh of relief before he started to sob.
