I ran until silence filled the cavern once more. I paused to take a breath, inhaling a putrid smell of raw meat. In the second it took to process the smell, the beast lunged from the maw of darkness behind me. I turned to flee, desperate to leave. A talon pinned me to the floor. I saw a figure approaching, and in a last effort to save someone, if not myself, I yelled…
“Vicious”
