Falling Onto Outlast

When the clever and quirky Harlow Okino woke up in a strange world, the first thing she thought was, "Man, sinkholes suck!" remembering how she fell into the strange pitch-black hole. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What the heck is that!?" I exclaimed while frantically fleeing from creatures that seemed straight from a horror movie. People were fleeing and shouting like I was, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The sound they made was unsettling and nothing like the screams you hear in movies. They were real, and everything happening was not a poorly-written movie plot. The sight of a lady falling caused my breath to catch as my stomach dropped. The realization written all over her face was horror. She knew. I knew. It was only for a split second that I took my focus away from the lady when I saw that a scaly monster was slinking up to her, its claws drawn and ready to slice. And it did. Its physique reminded me of Blue, the velociraptor from Jurassic World, albeit without the hawk's head or the possibility of a human-friendly disposition. This is not happening! I tried to reason that everything was just a nightmare from all the gory movies I'd watched, yet I knew in my gut that this was real. Somehow, giant monsters were out to get us! A piercing, non-human shriek alarmed me. I knew it had to be from one of the things that were closing in on us. And sure enough, after a daring peek in mid run, I saw that I was being pursued by yet another enormous monster. Its humanoid body, coupled with its black fur and sharp teeth, got me gulping from fear. I never imagined myself as a happy human meal for giant lizards and furry titans, and I want it to stay unimagined and unreal. With that in mind, I set out to prove that I could outrun even Usain Bolt if it meant I'd stay alive. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transported to a world that seemed filled with monsters that are aiming to make a snack of her, Harlow and her newfound party fight their way through all of it, all for the sake of finding a way back to Earth. Love story? We also sorta kinda have it here, too! "Have you ever watched Titanic?" Harlow asked the pretty Japanese boy beside her. He replied with a look that said that it wasn't the time to be asking him that. Harlow looked back and saw that their pursuers were getting closer. "Well, if you did, you'd know this line." "I jump, you jump," she said as she suddenly grasped Akari's hand, shooting an unrecognizable feeling into the young man's chest, which was sourly interrupted by the next move she made. Without any warning, she jumped into the waterfall in front of them. While falling, he saw her eyes gleaming with certainty that they'd make it. Right then, he knew if anyone was going to make it through this world, she definitely would be one of the contenders.

"What the heck is that!?" I exclaimed while frantically fleeing from creatures that seemed to be straight from a horror movie.

People were running and shouting like me, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The sound they made was unsettling and nothing like the screams you hear in movies. They were real, and everything happening was not a poorly-written movie plot.

The sight of a lady falling caused my breath to catch as my stomach dropped. The realization written all over her face was horror. She knew. I knew.

This is not happening! I tried to reason that everything was just a nightmare from all the gory movies I'd watched, yet I knew in my guts this was real. Somehow, giant monsters were out to get us!

There was an extremely piercing shriek. I knew it had to be from one of the things that were closing in on us. And sure enough, after a daring peek, while still moving quickly, I saw that I was being pursued by yet another enormous monster. Its humanoid body coupled with its black fur and sharp teeth got me gulping from fear.

I never imagined myself as a happy human meal for giant lizards, and I want it to stay un-imagined and unreal. With that in mind, I set out to prove that I could outrun even Usain Bolt.

Author's Foreword

Before you read this, let me be the first to tell you that this is my first adventure/fantasy story, so it is more likely to be mediocre compared to those who have mastered the art of it. (I am used to writing love stories, and it surprised me when I suddenly had the idea for this story.)

I wrote this story in English because I wanted more people to enjoy it. Since my first language isn't English, I warn you that there is a big possibility that I made a lot of mistakes in my grammar or spelling; thus, I am welcoming any criticism that can help me improve my writing because I believe a person grows better when supported by others. Please, enjoy the book, inspect my story, and help me learn better ways of writing.

This story is dedicated mainly to God and my Mom as my biggest inspirations. For bestowing on me the gift of love for words and imagination. And for all the ideas that wouldn't be possible without them. Thank you!

To all my readers and future readers, I sincerely thank all of you for taking the time and reading my work. It warms my heart when I see even the few people who read my story. I hope you all enjoy it!

XOXO,

Polaris Of The North
