I run as fast as I can. The noisy bangs of multiple feet trail behind me. I struggle to collect my breath as I flee him. The chase is interrupted by occasional hungry snarls. I run past the sad souls lost to his malicious intent. Their physical bodies hidden in the foliage.

I dash up the big rock buried in the hillside. As I do, I manage to glance at a broken legged human crawl away. As I jump across the deep holes dug by someone, I pray the desperate crawling man will distract that thing for long enough. I need all the time I can to dash to my form of transport. I am still worried that thing will catch up to me, though.

I pass by more corpses, their scared expressions being the only frozen emotion they have. A tree severed from the ground suddenly gets thrown by that creature in front of me. I narrowly avoid it, hoping I get to relax after this whole thing blows over. My shoes get wet from running across a large puddle, causing mild discomfort. I desperately want to battle that monster, but I know I will end up like the other corpses if I do so. I can only try to escape it.

My body brushes past the insects of the forest during their flight. I suddenly feel something squeeze my leg. I crash into a big pile of minced human flesh. I take what little time I have left to try and distract it. I soon recognize the one dozen magazines I brought on our camping trip and realize I’m at our campsite. I fight my sudden feeling of being tired and search for something to distract it with something. I find a small box of supplies and throw it at the creature. It‘s creepy face let’s out a hideous squeal and I use this as an opportunity to leave.

As I hobble towards my car I discover the burn ridden shell that it has turned into. What I notices next manages to surprise me for the worst. I see a figure standing by the burnt wreck with two of those creatures that chased me, they act like tame dogs to him but I notice their mouths full of flesh. But then I recognize the figure as the friend I went on this camping trip with, he looks at me with a sadistic grin and points at me, the monsters attack on his command.
