The Moon Gazer
”Prepare to land!” yelled the captain. Josh suddenly awoke with a banging pain in his head. Could it be? He dizzily stood up and peered out of the balcony. The blood moon was only starting to disappear. Josh turned away, about to go back to bed, but something had caught his eye. It was a colossal, mossy tower surrounded by roofless claw-marked buildings. Suddenly, a great falcon swept in front of Josh, tearing the balloon. The steel propellers went to work almost instantly, stopping the great fall. The passengers sighed with relief, only to find one of the propellers stiff and unable to move. The crew sealed the exits and instructed everyone to sit down and stay calm.
Silent passengers felt horror swallow them as the oval crashed down with a screech. The dazed crew opened the Moon Gazer to see the ship smothered with dents and scratches. Josh crept out, eyes wide with curiosity. He slowly walked towards the abandoned village, careful not to provoke the unknown creatures before him. What he saw the surroundings, his mouth could not utter a word. After all, it’s not every day you see a sight like this.
