The World: As you know it

On the ground were two limb-like objects that I assumed were feet. What could only be presumed to be toes were attached to this object but instead of the long delicate finish found in human fingers, it had fingers that slowly thinned out and suddenly ended with protruding bulges. At the end of these protrusions were sharp oval-shaped nails that dug into the ground. My eyes trailed upwards to see a murky dirt color on the object. I slowly realized that this was no object but instead a creature.

I had a view from under so I could clearly see where the light off white hue led to the disgusting stretched out skin. The creature had a height taller than the fruit trees, one comparable to the giant trees in this forest. It lowered its head and I made direct eye contact with a pair of black beady eyes.

This creature had the most repulsive head I had ever seen. It was flat and looked as if someone had stacked two plates on top of each other, flipped one around, and then deformed those plates into an animalistic shape.

I trembled and felt my legs give out and bile rise in my throat. I was terrified by this creature and all I could do was stare at it in terror. Something akin to hunger flashed in those reptilian eyes and it snapped me out of my temporary paralyzed state. I raised a trembling finger in the direction of the creature, my body filled with cowardice but my mind pushing through. It opened its mouth to display two rows of unaligned teeth that grew at random. The pinkish hue of its mouth was now visible.

"D-demon." I breathed out.
