The `thing’
End of Chapter 1:
“Why are you running so fast?” I ask curiously
“Because I saw it the-the Duckamander!” she pants painfully
“No way!”
Chapter 2:
We peer carefully through the calm curtains for a minute right before I ask “You didn’t actually did you?” Outside, I notice that the sun is not to be seen,a hurricane’s a coming.Before she replies I already know whats she is going to say. I knew it. The Duckamander.
Soon after the horizon shut down,I find myself walking gloomily behind Melodie(the mischievous girl’s name).Yes I know I should’ve stayed in my room watching Netflix with crisps by my side.I know I should’ve kept my fan on so she wouldn’t notice me.For all I can say Melodie is the most rude,the most arrogant and meanest girl I’ve met in my life!I mean how can a girl be so mean?A gruesome wind lifts us off the dusty old floor,pulling us down the corridor.Distant sun turns into distant thunder as lightning dances across the sky.Melodie pauses.
We walk by the Limiana Library,Sandy’s Starbucks Shop and the local CD shop.They’re all closing up as the hurricane is on the tip of its toes.The pier almost looks lifeless without a single soul to be seen.
Melodie stood as frozen as an icicle.I follow her path as I gaze in fear and that’s when we see it.One big trail of footprints with needle point claws digging deep into the sulking sand.They all lead up to Sandy’s starbucks.I drag Melodie’s jumper as I trudge into the shop.Mindlessly,we crouch into the unknown not knowing what sits fearlessly.
We enter the yummy cold coffee shop and Melodie notices that one of the coffee machines were still on.Outside lightning occurred as the rain poured down on guests indifferent to their thoughts.Cautious of every step, we amble through the closed cafe.Scared, we just catch a glimpse of 2 beady eyes sprinting across the room.It pauses.It snarls its way back.Am i hallucinating?
