Strange creatures

He jumped in fright to stand but it was too late. He stumbled and fell down on his butt due to sudden movement. He held the ground with both his hands. Being under the tree, the ground was covered with dried leaves. He moved backward almost crawling backwards. Being a man, even when alone, he could not bring himself to scream in panic. The figure jumped at him and missed.

It fell down on the brown and black leaves swelling bigger and bigger before it exploded. Green sticky liquid splashed at his clothes. He stood up very fast trying to get the disgusting liquid from him. Patches of flesh and green blood spattered everywhere on the leaves

"Eww. This thing is disgusting. I hope I don't meet any of the same kind again." He threw his hands in air before picking his fallen gun and checked on the pouch. He took steps backward before turning going ahead still towards the east. Few steps later, he remembered the metal that helped him see the invisible strange creature. He retraced his steps and picked the metal from the ground. He turned to go and noticed some of the big pieces of the strange creature were missing

He didn't waste a minute and checked the metal scrape in case there were invisible creatures behind or even surrounding him. And ooh boy? He was not wrong. There were so many of the creature's right where he was standing. His legs almost gave way. They were crouching picking the flesh pierces of the dead one. Two of them were on guard against him. They seemed to have known he could see them. One of the huge one eyed black human like creature look cautious steps against him. Denis did not waste a minute and ran off. He had no strength to fight all of them. There was no way he could win them. If one were to see him, they would've thought he was crazy. In any normal circumstance, it would have been crazy running away from something no one could see. But it was not a normal world or place for that. Looking through the metal scrap, he could see around ten of the creature running after him but were cautious keeping a certain distance from him.

While running through the dark foggy woods, he could vaguely see long and slender type of creature running after him through the trees and other distance from him. He didn't even stand for a minute to ask himself why they were chasing him from a distance. It seemed the powder he sprayed on himself was fading as time went by. The creatures became more aggressive running after him than before and coming even closer. One of the longed legged creature jumped at him scratching his elbow but it was not deep. He felt a numbing sensation running down his hand. As he ran, he felt the numbness spreading. His hand became completely dead numb that he could not run well. He tried to reach for the pouch on his waist but he could not. He tried reaching out with high left hand which was not scratched. They were coming closer and it proved hard to run with a dead hand while taking something out from his pouch with his other hand. He tripped on a spread root right before he could get the powder out. The motion caused the pouch to detach from his belt on the waist and fell few meters from him. He tried to stand up on his feet but he felt his body give way. The numbness was becoming too much and had spread to one side of his body. He could not control his movement.

Looking at the long legged creatures creeping on him, he almost gave up. Looking at his surrounding and his only means of survival far from him, he almost resigned to fate. There was a tickling sensation spreading to the other side of his hand as well. He tried to crawl slowly towards the pouch but it proved to be hard. His body gave on to the numbness and the whole of his body paralyzed.

"You damned creatures. If I survive here, I will destroy all of you". He shouted at the approaching creatures. For a moment he saw them standing right where they were. They looked sacred. It seemed they were sacred of his threat

"Do I really have such an effect on them?" He asked himself inwardly. He saw as hundreds of the creatures standing in straight line all looking angry and scared at the same time. They looked like they could tear his flesh while alive. The creature were shouting in unison as if calling for back up. Each second that passed, they were coming more and more each standing a meter from him. They all looked angry and ready to devour him. Some of the creature had their mouth hanging with saliva coming from their mouths. There were so many questions on his mind.

"Are they waiting for me to die so they each me?" he became frightened. He had not find his wife and not yet seen his family. There was no way he could die in the middle of nowhere. He didn't want his body to be eaten by unknown creatures. He felt his mind tired and his eye lid was threating to close. He seemed to have felt his being snatched from him. He felt a sharp pain piercing his heart. He wanted to shout in pain but his mouth could not utter a sound. His tongue had become heavy. It seemed his tongue was full in his mouth and there was he could do about it. He was totally out of control of his own body. He could literary lift up nothing. Not even his fingers could move. The only thing that was working but becoming hard to do was his eyes

He tried to keep his eyes conscious but he could not hold on. His mind gave way and he fell unconscious surrounded by angry creatures…
