They were walking in four legs. You had a sudden cold sweat break out in your back as you stared at the horrifying beings that didnât notice you - yet.
 They had a general shape to them, their hind legs were longer than their forelegs and as they stood on four legs, you could see that the butt side of the - you canât say humans, donât - animals sloped downwards in a small incline. There was also a sound that your ears could hear clearly in the quietness of the clearing, it was a sort of wheezing but it was quiet. You swallowed dryly, the click on your throat making a sound inside and you were motionless. Their hands were positioned all wrong too like the hands seemed to be facing the opposite direction and they stood on their toes, you could see the heel raised in the air.
They looked fast. Really fast. Â You thought if you were still then maybe, maybe, they wouldnât see you. Your legs quivered with the adrenaline and fear that was running through them and -Â
One of them sneezed. Its face was squished inside in an attempt to recover from the sneeze but given that it had a sheared off nose -exposing the insides- it couldnât work quite as well if it was a full nose. Itâs hair was dangling off its skull in limp, stringy threads with a dull bald spot on top of its head. All of them turned towards the sneezer and one of them spotted you. Its feverishly bright eyes widened and it grinned with a gaping mouth, all of its teeth exposed. They began to lope towards you and you were panicking, your legs seemed so slow, why oh my god why did it sneeze, and you started sprinting right away. The thing that spotted you was flesh coloured and you could see that, now that it was closer, it had hands and feet just like a humanâs. It had a longer neck though and as it caught up to you, you could see it was drooling and it had no lips whatsoever. Its eyes were so sunken in, it was like a pit of darkness with orbs that stared eerily with clear malice and cunning.
You were so busy observing them, your feet got out of rhythm and you slammed into the pavement. The grit was digging into your peeled off hands and you quickly turned yourself around to face the animal. It had stopped and started to stalk toward you, a chuckling âheheheheâ noise came out of its drooling mouth and it started to lick whatever lips it had left. You scrambled backwards and looked around the alley. There! There was a long, rusted nail near the dumpster, that had its flap open. If you could just get to it, you can climb the dumpster and get inside safely! You started to crawl your way towards the nail, the âheheheheâ noise got louder as they picked up their pace and suddenly, there was a loud âAH!â
The animal chasing you suddenly stopped itâs chuckling and you looked back to see what was going on. It had its neck turned and its face was directed towards the mouth of the alley. You couldnât see what was going on but you could hear it - a low snarling coming from the mouth of the alley. You turned around and quickly army crawled, hoping that whatever the hell was there could distract the other animal from mauling you. You manage to grab the nail just in time for you to hear the rumbling growl and the following yelp. You lever yourself up to your feet, wincing at the throbbing in your exposed arms and hands. You shakily grasp the nail, which is getting bloody and you should probably start worrying about tetanus. Thereâs a chewing noise behind you and you really, really donât want to look. In fact, itâs about time you get in the dumpster you realize. But...thereâs that voice in the back of your mind that urges you to look. You grimace and try to reason with it. Why not look? Youâve seen so much shit today, it couldnât hurt.
You reach your hands to the dumpster and say Iâll look when Iâm safe and sound! Ignoring the stinging in your hands and arms, you shakily manage to get yourself inside the metal container. Thankfully, itâs empty but it still smells gross. Youâre able to see now and -Â
Correction. The voice was wrong, it was so wrong. You stared at the taller animal that was eating the one that chased after you. It was very...tall. Like a giraffe but more flesh coloured and had a human face. Its hands were turned into fists and it walked on its knuckles. It looked like the giraffe imitation had kicked the other animal into the wall so hard, that there was a big hole where its body made an impact. It was whining, struggling to get up and the fake giraffe simply picked up a long leg and with its clenched fist, it punched right through their chest cavity, obliterating their insides. You nearly puked when you could see the struggling lungs trying to inflate and deflate. You made some sort of noise and it snapped its head toward you. The dying animal looked at you and it was crying, you could see the light dim out of its eyes. The fake giraffe stared at you hard with its pitted eyes and turned back to its meal. You swallowed hastily and grabbed the lid of the dumpster, sealing yourself inside it safely. Hopefully.
