The Rampage- Chapter 2 By Swamp Guy

Bullets blasted from the turrets as the spiders fell back, tripping over corpses. The humans cheered, many bleeding from scars. A good many would die from the spider’s poison by the end of the week.

“That was close.” Verbar said.

“What do you mean, close?!” Dune roared. “We lost half our forces! Creatures are just getting more dangerous!”

The humans ran like the wind away from an advancing swarm of arthros, into a broken, abandoned Thai restaurant.

“Did you think they saw us?” Dune whispered.

“More like...did you think they saurus!” The soldier cracked up at his own joke. The others shushed him, but it was too late. A raptor already had his head in its jaws.

“Don’t. Move.” Dune whispered. The raptor stalked around the rest of the room until Verbar put a shot in its head. Others pointed out Thylas and more spiders outside.

Dune whipped his head around. There was a scratching at the back of the room. A small head peeked out. A small dodo waddled out. Dune wasn’t even breathing. Dodos could be very dangerous. But this small one cowered in fear. Dune sat completely still, and the dodo came up to him. It squeaked.

Every creature outside turned its head to their hiding place.

And that’s when the real trouble began.
