As quietly as possible, which never works when I am trying to, I quickly grabbed a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Checking my list and grabbing my gear I headed out to wait for a taxi in the cool fading morning. I could taste the excitement, or was that the humidity?

The boulder landed flat on the hollow, and the only things that exposed it’s being there were two black, slimy tentacles, writhing for a second more, then falling limply back to the ground. A pool of black, thick, gooey hollow blood slithered
