Smokes huddled close to the girl, trying to lend some warmth in the cold night. He bundled his sooty jacked closer to her naked body.
"So, you'll be ok now, babe?"
"Yes, thank you," Sharon replied, her teeth chattering.
"Hey Jim, you better go get some fire-"
Jim was gone.
"Jim...?" Sharon called out unsteadily.
"Shit," Smokes swore, "I knew I should have payed attention in BE history class..!"
Sharon shivered again, but it was not because of the cold. A rustling in the bush caught the soldier's attention.
"Wait here," Smokes whispered hoarsely, loading his trusty emp railgun.
He approached the shrubbery slowly, his weapon held tight in one hand. As soon as knelt to get a closer look, the thing sprang from the bushes. A monster with ten tentacles.
"SHIT!"
