Red Light Slums

‘Ow!’

Was the first thing I thought once I opened my eyes. Contrary to the usual unfamiliar ceiling or the usually blue sky, what I met was a red sky with black clouds. Confused, I tilted my head around and saw a little thing clawing at my shoulder.

This thing had a tiny round frame, with little bat-like wings on it back, a barbed tail and two short horns poking out of its head.

“What the heck are you?”

I muttered in curiosity, startling it. The little fella jumped back and screamed. That was when I noticed that there were more of them surrounding me. They also screamed,, then quickly skedaddled from my view.
