Friday: Rumbling of the Earth
The distant rumbling of the earth had returned. But this time, it wasn’t just the animals moving. It was as if the land itself was shifting. Rocks and trees seemed to vibrate, the ground trembling beneath their feet as though it was going to split open.
A deafening crack split the air, and from the dark sky above, lightning began to strike the ground, illuminating the path ahead with terrifying flashes. The animals around them went silent, as if sensing the danger that was now on the horizon.
Then, in a brief flash of lightning, they saw it. A massive shadow, moving with unnatural speed and strength, slowly rising from the distance. It was too large to be anything they could recognize.
The ground trembled again as the shadow grew larger, more distinct. There was nowhere to hide. No escape.
And just as the first scream was about to leave their mouths, the world went completely silent.
