It breathed heavily as it neared Malin. Its red eyes neared him as the hot breath of the creature went onto Malin’s face. “Please. I can give you so much,” Malin begged. The creature seemed to stall as its head turned to the right. Behind Malin was a wall which offered no obvious escape routes. It tried to find a rock as his hand skittled around the ground. The creature seemed to follow his movements with precision. *** *** ***
