       The night before her parents disappeared Sam had a dream. In the dream, she woke up to complete silence and darkness, then she heard a faint scatching, similar to teeth on asphalt. She only knew what that sounded like because Steve, her boyfriend, had scraped his teeth on the street when he fell off his bike two weeks ago.
       The sound got louder and louder until it was unbearable. The sound then stopped suddenly and a light revealed that she was in a tunnel. At the end she spotted a black figure slowly moving forward. After about a minute she saw it was now moving more rapidly about equal to a normal human jogging. Sam then started running the other direction when it was approximately 100 meters away.
      After about 20 seconds running she heard a loud thump and dared to glance backward. The creature was gone and a humanoid that emitted light was in its place. After Sam blinked, the humanoid had disappeared. She then heard and felt heavy breathing behind her; she then looked to find the first creature. It was 10 times more horrid up close with a 1 meter mouth span and 15 rows of bloodied teeth all swirling to create a vortex. It had spider like hairs covering its entire body and a scorpion tail. The rest of it looked like a gorilla with claws that was on steroids and growth hormone. There were about 40 scorpion style legs lining its whole body. It then grabbed her, its tail hit her like a whip, and she was swallowed whole
