The Great Creatures

They came slowly, crawling, screeching in their high-pitched voices. ominous music As we walked through the dark tunnel, one touched my arm. We hesitated slightly and stood still. We noticed that when we don’t move, they don’t notice us. They ran to the end of the tunnel just in time for us to exhale and catch our breath. These creatures were ugly beyond belief. Their eyes were spread out over their face, which made them seem that they had huge eyes. Their nose was barely visible as it was just two small holes at the top of their forehead. Where their mouths were, I did not really know. Their voices seemed to be set on reverb on an amp. They would echo even in the open. As we turned around to go the opposite direction in which they went, the largest of them all came at us. This one had more precision senses so we could not just let it go by. It was slower than the small ones. It gaily came and roared with spit flying out of its mouth. We turned and ran. This beast was too much to handle.
