Chapter 43: SOS (part 10)

"But... that thing's no more than 200m away–?!"

"I don't care!" I snapped, "Just step on it!"

A sound that was torn between a scream and a wail that shook and rattled me deep within my very bones. It was that intense, powerful. Whatever made that sound was undoubtedly huge, furious... and it didn't sound like anything humanity has ever known, let alone heard of before.

I can feel something thick and wet dripping from my ears.
