Swailamander!

Prologue!

You’ve probably been to Wonder-On-Sea. In summer, you probably
went to the beach and dove into the sea. When you came you probably went to your Grandma’s house and waited for the ice cream van. It’s Summer…..

But in winter, you probably felt the freezing cold snow blow into your face. You should try going there when the sea fog covers the town. However, few people visit then. Even locals don’t go near the beach….. It’s winter……

Chapter 1

My name is Sasha Brown and I work in the local cafe. Most people call me Sash. I am the cafe’s manager though it doesn’t feel like it. I make the drinks, sweep the dirty floors and even tidy up after everyone. Someone once told me that this is a terrible job but I thinks it’s good. I have a tiny little office to do my important stuff. It’s not so busy in the winter as everyone gets really cold.

A woman banged on the door, Screaming “LET ME IN NOW”. Not sure why she screamed, I ignored her. She looked cold however the cafe closed 30 mins ago so I wasnt going to let her in. She seemed desperate. She started panting. Immediately, she says “Hide me!” .

Before I continue with that let me tell you a story of a old legend about our town. It happened ages ago. So 100 years ago a man by the name of Sam Shepard saw a monster some sort of mander they called it the SWAILMANDER it rips humans to pieces. It only comes out on stormy and wet nights. First it destroys the beach and then local shops then houses! Apparently there is a variety of monsters some tall some small but this one was an SWAILMANDER it smelled like rotten cheese mixed with ***** 💨. It left a trail of footprints that were bigger than some houses. When the locals heard the noise they would lock there door and close the curtains.

Some say that the creature must have been In pain because it wouldn’t stop howling. Some say it ate 25 lost children who had wandered ashore and not been able to run. I’ve never heard it though. Anyway back to the story! I let her in but only on one condition, she could not mention it to anyone.

Chapter 2

We sit waiting quietly for a moment or two. I asked her “What exactly did you see”. She answered saying “ THE SWAILAMANDER”. I couldn’t believe her. I wanted to see it myself so I walked outside and tried to see however it was to cold, I soon started following her footsteps. Distant thunder started rumbling and lightning crackled over sea it scared me.

We passed the shop named Tala and Ben and one named Harvey’s ice cream parlour. They were both boarded up. You also only see a few cars scurry by to get home.

I turned then we saw it the Swailmander it footprints bigger than houses it had webbed feet and it teeth so big it could swallow 5 people whole. Hardly daring to breathe, I tug open a arcade door and slip inside. At that moment the wind blew so hard it pushed me over and the door slammed so loud. The swailmander made a low growl I thought it was heading towards me but no. I peeked outside. The Swailmander stood still it turned looked at me with its yellow greedy eyes, then with a growl it dove back into the ocean.
