It came from the sea, calmly at first. An enormous, slithering tentacle slowly oozing its way over the top of the sea wall, exploring the metal and concrete shapes with suckers the size of your front door.

Then, as more and more people came, and shrieks and cries of alarm filled the air, the creature became angry. All hell broke loose…

In an almighty tangle of limbs and water and buildings and people, the beast came violently exploding out of the frothing water. The normally sturdy metal supports of the buildings groaned under the extreme weight of the gigantic tentacles crushing them. Panic. Complete panic set in.

Gun’s, spear’s, dagger’s! all of this was so overwhelming with all the banging and rampaging it was a total nightmare   

The planes in the sky came crashing down like they were boy’s toys being thrown around. Ships in the sea were being capsized under the weight of enormous waves. Car alarms and sirens were going off as the cars were washed clean off the roads and bridges. People were pulling and pushing to make their way out of the chaos. With all the pushing and shoving people kept on falling into the water, drowning, suffering.
