Excerpt
Rounding a tree, she came face to face with a scene from
hell and what must be an escaped beast from its bowels. A huge, hulking
creature stood over the mangled and torn remains of several villagers. Its skin
was a dark green, knotted with strange configurations of flesh on its skin, as
if its muscle fought for dominance and pushed upward into the flesh from
beneath. A weepy wetness made the skin shiny and oily; it reeked of
slaughtering pens where the leavings had rotted for a day in the hot air.
The putrid
ripe odor caused Azra to grab her nose and also gained the beast’s attention.
As its eyes pinned her location, she was frozen, couldn’t move if her life
depended on it -– and it did. The gaping mouth filled with two-inch horrific
jagged teeth opened as if pleased with her presence. Blood, bits of flesh and
dripping strings of saliva drooled from its jaws as it started toward her.
“Tarsha!”
She commanded loudly, thrusting both arms outward at the same time. It was a
powerful word, one used to immobilize. The nightmarish creature shook its head
slightly, as if she had muddled its thoughts temporarily, then thudded the few
steps it took to be within striking distance.
One
solitary tear trickled down her cheek as she whispered, “Bretuck, I’m sorry.”
The beast
stumbled, then straightened, a stunned look crossed its grotesque face.
A gurgling
“augh” poured from its rasping throat.
The thing screeched in agony, plunged to its knees with a
crash and lifted its tortured eyes to hers with a pitiful expression, if such
were possible with such a beast. A quiver of responding pity flashed through
her and horrified at her reaction, Azra took a step backward. The monster
thrust his arms toward and cried out.
