I woke up in a car, the gentle humming of the engine stirring me awake. I look up a the driver.
“Where am I?” I ask him
“You’re safe. I saw you fall off that building. I’m taking you to the hospital.”
The man appeared to be in his late forties. He had a small gray beard and thinning hair on top of his head. He was a bit on the heavy side but still looked some what in shape for his age and weight.
“What about that crashing thing?”
“I don’t know. I saw it crash towards the center of the city but I haven’t heard anything like air sirens.”
“Turn on the radio then. See what they have to say.” I said as I sit up in the leather seat. The dashboard said the Words Monte Carlo. It looked new from what I could tell. I tried for the radio but couldn’t figure out how to work it.
“Here.” The man said as he flicked it on.
‘The police are urging that all citizens leave the city! We have no reports as to what fell from the sky, but the police and US Army are denying that it is any sort of terrorist attack. About 20 minutes ago something fell from the sky and crash landed into the center of New York. A shock wave rippled all through out the city sending car and buildings closest to it crashing down.’
I leaned forward and switched it to the next station.
“….Police are reporting that what ever fell from the sky is emitting radiation. They have set up checkpoint to most of the exits around the city and will check to see if you have been exposed to it. They have medical treatment for you if you have so I repeat, leave the city and go get your self-checked out.’
The man stopped the car.
“What are you doing?” I asked
“Look. Ahead!” He said as he pointed down the street.
I looked as he turned up the head lights. Their was a man standing down the street from us. At first I couldn’t make out what he was doing but as he walked closer to us I saw what was wrong. His skin was falling off. He was literally melting in the street.
I gagged as more fell off of him.
“HELP ME!” He screamed in a raspy voice from down the street.
“Should we help him?” The man asked me.
“NO! He’s been exposed to radiation. If we help him we expose our selves and we could die.”
I turned as the man screamed once more. He was running at us. He jumped and landed on the hood of the car. Instantly I could feel heat pouring from his body. He started to sick into the hood as it melted. My body started to sting.
“GET OUT OF THE CAR!” I screamed as I kicked the door open and jumped out. The man did to and yelled he was ok when he was out. The melting man turned and looked at me.
“Help me…” He said as his face started to droop.
“STAY BACK! YOUR GOING TO KILL US IF YOU COME CLOSE!” I yelled at him.
But he still came at me. I stood waiting to die when a gun shoot was fired. The bullet ripped through him and brought him down. As the body fell I jumped back into an ally to avoid further radiation. A police officer and the driver man came up to the ally but stay back from the body.
“Son are you able to get over here with out getting to close to the body?” The officer said.
I checked around but found no way across to them.
“I don’t see one.” I replied.
“Damn. I don’t want to ask this but I need you to go down the ally and the when you get out head to the opposite direction of the way you were traveling in the car. You two were getting to close to the impact site. Can you do that for me.”
“Yeah. Just go?”
“Yes.”
I nodded and turned around.
“Wait!” The officer yelled.
I turned around. He tossed something to me and I caught it. It was a small black object.
“What is this?” I asked
“It’s a stun gun.”
“IM NOT GETTING CLOSE TO ANY MELTING PEOPLE!”
“No. There are riots all across the city. What goes through a person head, huh I could die if I stay but why don’t I break in there and steal a TV!” He said in a mocking voice.
I smiled a little before I left. The ally was long and dark. I could hear glass shattering up ahead. People yelling as the glass did. I quickened my pace as they did. I reached the end of the alloy and saw three guys breaking into a store.
“HEY! YOU HAVE TO LEAVE!” I yelled at them.
One of them walked to me and pointed a gun at me. He was tall and had a pencil mustache.
“And you gonna make us!” He asked.
I smiled as I rammed the tazer into the side of the gun. Dumb move. I moved left but he still clenched the gun. The gun fired and grazed my shoulder. I dropped at the same time he did. I dropped the tazer and clutched my shoulder. The two other grabbed their guy and began dragging him away when they looked behind me and screamed. I felt the intense heat and turned expecting another dying person. But I was wrong. Their was a visible heat wave coming down the street. Nothing on earth could explain what it was as it hit me. I blew me back through a building. The wall tumbled on top oh me. And that was it.
I woke up and it was day out. Most of the rubble that was on top of me was gone. I stood and checked the room I was it. It was all over grown with weeds and flower. I looked for my watch but I found nothing. I walked to the hole in the wall and stepped out. The street was empty expect for something standing farther down the street. The street much like that room was over grown with plants. I walked down the street to what ever was down the, shielding my eyes from the bright sun as I did. It was about my height and it was eating something on a street lamp. It was covered in scales and had a huge tail as well as powerful legs. I went against my better judgment and spoke.
“Hello?” I asked
The thing jumped around and yelled in surprise.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!” I yelled waving its short arms around wildly.
“Jordan Mickey. What the hell are you?” I said to it.
‘Must have taken a big hit to the head or something.’ I said to my self.
“What or who?” It asked
“What?” I replied
“I’m a Velicoraptor?” It replied once more
I screamed
