      I hear the low growl creeping closer and closer behind me. I reach down and grab the top of my holster and turn around slowly. There it was in all its glory, its long claws hanging down by its side. His skin looked almost like glass. The sharp fangs peak from behind it's drooling drooling lips. I take one step closer and pull out my him and began to shoot. I empty the clip before I realized no damage was done. It's low growl soon turned into a loud roar. He then lunges at me. My chair flips back and my VR set fly's off of my head. I had lost once again to The Marvelous Beast. I let out a loud sigh and turn off the game. Martha enters the room

Martha laughs " Maybe you're not as good as you think you are" she says as she goes back into her sleeping quarters. We are supposed to go in there at 6:00pm, no earlier no later, and it's about two hours before. Well at least it was when I last checked.
