Rows of fashionable but aged, spread-out condominiums welcomed them. Like imposing walls caging towards the “residentials” where houses are supposed to be parted by gardens and greenery. Only, they’ve become clustered with private homes side by side with little leeway for structures to breathe.
Walking through streets, surrounded by a mix of silence or escaping steps, their movements were not as inconspicuous. Considering the number of people or persons they meet along the way that greets them nicely or dismisses them without a second glance could be counted in one hand.
Busying themselves with their safety makes for a better choice to each one than caring to bother having extra burden in a world where a roaming monster can attack any time and without rhyme. Putting useless effort to spiral into a fruitless assumption pit of hell would only lead anyone in this catastrophe depression and death without effort. Instead, they’d rather survive and le
“You think it’s alive?” asked Tacio in a whisper, all of them intent in whispering.“There’s bound to be worse question’s than that if you ask me.” Replied Anton.“Maybe, it’s better if we look for a different way around.” Says Lucia, who was busy shushing the child in her arms. “Good Aris, you’ve not cried since a while ago...”“Hey,” Tomas suddenly said. His voice was a bit farther away from them. “Maybe we can go through the back door of this house. It seems to me that the only fences between each house are short enough so we can climb over them.”Resolving to do that instead, they avoided the road-keeping creature in favor of the backyards. The back of this house was small and quite untidy, protected only by a five-foot-high fence against the dingy back alleys behind houses. All kinds of items stacked in the compact back yard of the house, piled highe
Reaching three blocks away, the people suddenly stop and the creature paused its movements as the quartet ran farther. Finally, in a safe space again. It was a simple encounter of a unique group of people that, seem to cater to the creature, something Anton said he’s seen someone do but never thought to see in such a large number.As if those people sucked up to the creature, knowing it had enough intellect to trick it. Maybe they were treating it like a wild animal and currying favor by sacrificing themselves bit by bit, at the thought, mayhaps it was good they didn’t get to those people or be captured by them.Rounding another corner, Anton and Tacio finally showed signs of tiredness. They come across rows of houses with well-spaced yards, still with no one around. Tomas still pedaled with his might, but he soo tired that he gasped every pedal, losing his breath from the effort to move forward. All the men had lost their adrenaline, with nothing but their
Chapter 10The night sky that stared back the floor to wall windows of the dim penthouse suite gave the impression of an affluent resident with posh taste and no lack of vanity. No, it was the home of the C-city team of the “Dimension Pocket” wavelength monitoring, a team comprised of experts in all walks of life. Including a teenage boy who played too many games and is desert nearing midnight. But handled the learning and thought of electro-magnetic pulse in a manner of curiosity and respect.Luxurious plates, once filled with differing desserts but now empty, littered the living room table where the light from the open laptop shone brightly on the face of the teen, sitting on the floor in front of it. Tapping lazily with his head hunched down, half of his face covered by a bandana mask tightly knotted under the messy head of hair he had not combed since this afternoon waking from a nap.Wearing a loose hoodie that was co
Clocking his time to ten minutes tops, he sent all files to the Tablet and created the worst paint pencil tool instructional chart of what he thought was the problem in the “new” Ultima-type. Assessing what he wrote one more time, his “masterpiece” to express his nagging point felt delivered, so he saved the file with the intent to send it thru the chat.He started to type again in a slow manner.MainMan: Hey, hear me out. This thing is shitting wwith me.TL312: what?Main Man: I’m going to send back a fiel. Check and see if you get it...get?TL312: ...TL312: Get?TL312: Right, I’ll just read this, man. If this is one of hose meme’s prank again, i swear.TL312: ...TL312: Fuck. I’m sending this to Boss.Main Man: Thanks! Tops?TL312: Left the chat.<
Right now, she couldn’t care anymore, as her denial washed over in a blink of an eye. Skin-ship now held a priority she didn’t know to grow within her. And, for it to come from Trust, who in the same way felt the urge she just described in a weirdly masculine definition of possessive and obsessive skin-ship.Since this short brainstorm; kisses, and orgasms felt like an exclusivity they, now, must nurture. In the twelve hours, they were together; both fucked like fictional rabbits in the mercy of a fanfic erotica writer.Despite this slightly unfortunate proactivity, they still have the sanity to be survival-minded beings. The first hour of Trust’s return to his human form, the lower part of his right eye still sported burnt skin, framing it like a dragon and creating a scab-like frame. Uncomfortable dryness poked his eyeballs now and then when he didn’t squint or let his eyes remain open for quite some time. Due to this unfortunate skin graft di
His hands ceremoniously hovered on Betts’s waist as he languidly pressed his lips on hers. Licking her lips then softly pecking it, he massaged her breast, sending her body in an itchy tingle. “Betts,” he whispered. “I can’t fuck you tonight.” His voice was husky, but his mind’s eye reeling and panicking as he sensed a presence of a group of people, mixed with a select creature’s, just a block away. “You’ll have to be happy with my fingers.” Saying this, Betts held his hand and shoved it between her legs. She guided his finger to her wet labia. Then extended her hand to his crotch, massaging his erection from outside the pants he wore. “Spoil me.” She breathily whispered, her face rubbing his cheeks. The burning blood rushes into his head as his dick starts to numb the warning he had been feeling, biting her cheeks and growling at her disobedience. He manages to pull her in a sitting position and sit her on his lap. Her hands pulling out his erection
They were, like them, looking for someplace to settle for the night, hide even. Betts didn’t quite grasp what happens during the nights. When she asked Trust, he could only answer that somehow the activities he’d done were a blur in his mind prior.The most he could remember then was the rush of instinct to hunt. And, at most, Betts imagined that he hunted humans in his creature form. But, she didn’t voice it out loud to solidify this assumption.Coming to where their door was, the footsteps halted in several areas, and the two heard the clatter of furniture or doors opening. The good bulky cabinet and chair blocked their door that it had the intended effect once the outsiders arrived to try and open it. Clattering the knob handle in frantic, they started to kick at the door when they couldn’t make it budge. Their enthusiastic kicking got the rest of their group in conflict with their actions. Arguing at each other at the logic of making more ra
The messenger app available in the tablet pinged several times in succession, alerting Trust enough to slam his hand on the tablet to hold on to the lock screen button. The sound, though muted, continued to ring like a bell in a wedding church.They both manage to silence the app by muting the tablet. Betts opened the application and looked through the messages in curiosity. Besides the several active chat groups, one group named “nurse staff” rung proactively. It was at the top, with all the new messages updating in real-time.Tapping it open, they read the uploading messages, and Trust found a familiar name,Aurea Horoi. Seeing this, he tapped to pause the scrolling up, ever-updating replies. Holding on her name, he made a new message, a private one, and sent, “Aurea, I’m glad you’re alive!”Looking at the message, they both waited to see if they’d get a reply.Crinkling
