Agent on the Run

We had to get to the portal and lock it before this demented creation of man broke free to the surface!

I ran the sprint of my life then. If I'd run straight I would never have made it, but instead I ducked left and right, as if I was evading phantom linebackers. I dodged through doorways and around corners, as the beast in wild anguish to taste my flesh roared shrilly in hot pursuit smashing through doorways and walls alike.

I wasn't going to make it!

The monster pounded through yet another wall right on my heels and the exploding outward debris of the wall knocked me off my feet and across the room to wham up against the opposing wall. He would have had me then, but for the flashing blades that bit into his armor clad body and caused blood to spurt.

The monster roared and turned on Flicker, who backed away trying to lead the beast away from me. It was encouraging to see that the monster could bleed, but do a few axe strikes cause a large tree to fall?

Something changed then and a whole level of foulness previously unrecorded was revealed about the creature, as its nostrils flared wide in appreciation that Flicker was a female. Apparently all respect of species had been stripped away in the Code language that governed the beast's actions.

It was an atrocity of human creation to inspire the great ape to become flagrantly erect in an unnatural desire for an individual not of his own kind. Not that the ape had a kind anymore.

Worse than that was how twistingly the ape had been modified from the natural. Its phallus wasn't flesh, but instead it was formed into a speared shaft of unnatural proportion made of the same metallic compound as Flicker's arms and legs.

This demented creation of foolish minds had been created with a purpose, which was to terrorize mankind and feed upon him, even as it gored females to a grisly death in a display of devilish significance in regard to the age-old enmity between the god of this world and the seed of a woman.

Flicker stood in paralyzed horror at the sight before her and I screamed out, "Get out of here!!!"

She snapped out of her trance, as the beast came down on all four legs and started to spring for her.

"I love you!!!" She screamed and then she was gone.

The beast crashed into the wall where Flicker had just been. It recovered and scrambled after her, while roaring its desire to do the unnatural.

I heard the crashing of the beast's movement quickly dissipate and I was left alone, helpless to help the one that I loved.
