The Ark chapter one

The splash of waves. The grit of sand underneath him. The smell of the sea. Where was he? He remembered living in New York, going about his life and then… nothing. How did he get here? David stood up, and in standing up, he discovered that he had a strange object in his wrist, not entirely metal, but not crystal either, but a mix of both. “How get here? Where is here?” David asks while idly scratching his wrist. He was on a beach, in the middle of the day, in who-knows-where, when he should be in New York! A sound from behind him causes him to turn around and see… a bird? Right as David bends down, a blast of acid from the side hits where his head was a second ago. “What the heck?” He says as he turn to face his assailant, a strange lizard looking thing… on two legs? “Whoa! This thing is like a dinosaur! Where am I?” The… thing… lunges for him, trying to bite him. David quickly try’s to dodge and then he punches it in the head. After hitting it a few times, the thing starts to back away, then sprint away. At that same time, David chases it and continues to hit it, eventually knocking it out. “The heck are you?” David asks as he looks at the frills of this strange thing. The bird, still following him, creeps up to the thing, and in the same breath, swiftly gets devoured by it. It immediately stood up and looked at David. “You wanna go, you oversized iguana?” But the thing makes no move, not even a reaction, but instead just continues to look at David. “What are you doing? Did your head get knocked around too much?” No reaction. “Fine, I’m out.” As he walks away, he hears footsteps behind him. “Why are you following me iguana? Do you wanna get beat up again? Go on, if you are gonna attack me attack- what?” As David said attack, the thing ran over to the only other living thing on the beach, another bird, and tore it apart in three bites. “What the… are you listening to me? Ok… then stay.” And as he walked away, there were no more footsteps. “Hmmm, this could be useful… follow me iguana.” And Iguana followed. And the two, now partners, looked for shelter.
