"That monster, it shouldn't have discovered us," someone whispered in a hushed tone, with caution.
He had chosen to return via the path he had walked during the day, among those who had come through.
Those who had chosen this path harbored the assumption within their hearts that since they had already traversed it during the day and knew the monster was there,
revisiting the same spot at night would surely be like treading familiar ground.
And it was very possible the creature would also realize that humans wouldn't give up so easily, hence choosing to go elsewhere.
With that in mind, they had a better chance of taking action.
It was during their journey along this road that they finally arrived at the place where the corpse from the daytime had lain.
A provocative fellow during the day had, unaware of the monster's strength, attempted to attack it.
That resulted in the situation they were witnessing, as plain as day.
