CHAPTER 196: THE MONSTER'S SHADOW
THE MONSTER'S SHADOW
You quickly grab the survivor's arm, pulling him to his feet as you both back away from the edge. The ground trembles beneath you, the Abomination’s heavy footsteps growing louder. "We need a plan," you shout over the chaos. The survivor nods, desperation in his eyes. "We can't outrun it," he admits, voice shaking.
Thinking quickly, you scan the area. A crumbling building stands to your left, its windows shattered but possibly offering some shelter. "We can try to hide," you suggest, eyes darting to the structure. "Or," the survivor counters, "we could lead it to the gas station. If we time it right, we might be able to blow it up."
Your mind races. Both plans are risky. Hiding could work, but if the Abomination finds you, there'll be no escape. The gas station could provide the means to destroy the beast, but mistiming the explosion could be fatal.
Suddenly, a new sound pierces the air—a siren, blaring from a nearby emergency vehicle, lights flashing. It's a potential distraction, but one that might not last long. You need to decide, and fast.
