Where The Wind Doesn't Blow

After leaving the surface, I find myself in a strange room filled with books. Picking up what I can, I leave through an open doorway. Soon, I find myself in an old fashion elevator. Taking it down, I find myself in total darkness. Though thankfully, I have my flashlight. Going down a flight or two of stairs, I find an unused frag grenade on the ground.

"This'll come in handy."

Walking down to the end of the hall, I find some stairs. The further and further I go up, the louder the sound of hot steam becomes until I find myself in a strange area. As I walk through the corridor of pipes, I spot a shadow of a person just above me.

"Hello! HELLO!"

Entering a strange area, I turn to see a barricaded part of a station. I try to push a metal beam out of the way only to find it to be too heavy. The sound of small light footsteps and a small shadow catch me offguard.

Kneeling, I watch a little girl sneak past my light and hide behind some boxes.

"Hello?" I ask, watching a little girl peak out from behind a box. Around her wrist a nice bracelet.

I could hear her short terrified breaths. "Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you, I promise." She drew closer and closer the more I spoke. "Do you need help? Here..." I extend my hand a bit. "You can take my hand."

"Y-You...need...help," the girl said between breaths.

"I'm sorry. I can't understand you."

This time she was clear. "You need help."

"Why?" I asked.

"He's right behind you..." She said.

My eyes widened as I slowly moved, the light behind me disappearing. "What?"

Hearing the grated metal shake, I turn to see a massive creature. It's body a mass contusion of flesh of fluids. Several eyes around its body, forcing its arms to snap and move in an impossible fashion. It tries to hit me only to grab a pipe from below the grates. I fall through the hole, the metal grate walkway nearly taking my head off.

I get to my feet only to watch the creature land just in front of me, holding the pipe steady in its hand while its other half convulsed and twitched.

"You gotta be kidding me."

Turning around, I start to.

"Words ain't gonna cut it with this freak."

Coming to an console, I pick up another grenade and ammo before I find a place to rest for a moment. Thinking I'd lost it, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, I never noticed the creature slowly peak around the corner with it's large eye. Angry, it swings at my head, only narrowly missing as the busted machine spews steam into its bulging optic nerves, earning loud pained screams from the Human head.

"What the hell are you!?!"

Quickly getting back up, I hear it roar as it slammed its fist around in furious anger. As it opens and focuses on me, I take aim and put several rounds into it's pupil. It screams angrily and flails about before charging at me, its eye in a different position.  For a moment, it seemed to have died as the man it was attached to screamed in pain and tried to speak to me.

"Waaaait...heeereee....meeee..."

He reached for me and despite the pity I had for him, but all that came out was, "this thing's gotta go down."

Firing another two shots at the creatures eye, I heard his normal voice as he cried out in pain, his bones shifting and snapping as he cried out in agony. In truth, the sounds made me want to vomit, but the fear of losing my life...well, kept it all in.
