Text[edit]
I hauled myself up, swatting pinching creatures off me, squinting in the moonlight. Crabs. Everywhere. A body lay near my feet. Sobbing, I struggled to heave Margot off the sand. I could just make out the dark shapes of others who'd washed ashore, coughing, sputtering, kicking at the skittering crustaceans.
A low, booming rumble from the clifftops above shook the beach. Then another.
"Margot... What was that?"
Margot stood limply, slack—jawed. BOOM! Darkness enveloped the beach, an impossibly vast silhouette blotting out the night sky.
A great shadow lanced down from the clifftop like black lightning. Screams echoed off the rock walls ahead.
"We're going to die. Margot. Margot!"
Just then, a strange, round shape shuffled by, ambling TOWARD the cliff. Its green—tufted head turned, looked back at me and Margot, and then seemed to disappear into the rock wall
I slapped Margot full in the face, jolting her awake.
"RUN!"
BOOM! More screaming. Shadows arced skyward. Something bounced off my shoulder with a wet thud—a severed arm? A foot?
I sprinted toward the rock wall, dragging Margot—or was she dragging me now?— legs burning, blood rushing.
We reached the wall, tumbling forward into complete darkness. I could go no further. We lay in silence, lungs on fire. The booming stopped. My eyes slid closed.
