An It (Jenunique's Challenge)

My heard beat fast. Every muscle in my body ached. I had been running from it for so many hours. I started to catch my breath. But then I heard it. I picked up a stick, sure to make no noise. It couldn’t hear me. It ate my people and my camp. If anyone lived it was unknown me. It was beguinning to get dark. I needed to lose it and make a camp.

I woke to the sound of noise. I opened my eyes and looked up. There it was. An ugle crab like creature with claws, staring right into my eyes. it kinda resembled a bug like thing but I wasn’t sure in the darkness. I quickly and quietly jumped out of my sleeping bag and began to run.

I was running and running. It was behind me. It was past ten in the morning. Running through the forest was getting old. All of the sudden I saw a different figure through the trees. It was another human. I reconized her!

“Erica!” I called. That was before I realized she was also running from an it.
