Shoot in the tail

- What the hell is this thing? Looks like a monkey with wings, out of a horror flick - he tried to analyze the situation. Because of the oddity of it all, he decided to play it as it went. Same as when you were dreaming and faced with impossible situations. First, you act and then analyze. He reached towards his back and pulled out a Glock 19. Gripping the handle tightly he pointed it to the creature. Better safe than sorry, he thought. - Stay where you are - he commanded the creature, totally sure it understood him. Its eyes were just staring into his with viciousness.

- I won't listen to you - Gabriela said next to him seemingly calm at the situation. But her eyes were telling a different story. He could see in his peripheral vision she was in a defensive stance next to him and seemed ready to react at any moment.
