A Promise

The president and his men were standing outside the white house, staring into the sky and waiting for the sun to set.

At present, the tension in the air was something that could not be overstated. As the warmth of the day was traded in for the night's chill, the internal temperatures of everyone outside seemed to skyrocket. 

When night finally fell, the entire place seemed to go silent. It was clear that everyone was expecting some giant mythical creature to fall from the sky but it didn't.

It came from the grass.

Out of the corner of her eye, Awena noticed a small black snake slithering onto the walkway. 

Though she was the first to notice it, she wouldn't be the last as the snake grew larger and larger beyond what could have been considered normal.

It wasn't long until they were staring at a horned serpent over fifty feet long and as thick as a car.

"My god.."

"G-Get back!!"
