CHAPTER 154: SACRIFICE IN THE DARK
SACRIFICE IN THE DARK
Your heart hardens as you make the decision. Itâs brutal, but survival demands it. You grasp the survivorâs arm, pushing her toward the rampaging Abomination. Her eyes widen in disbelief, a silent scream trapped in her throat. The beast, momentarily distracted by her movement, shifts its focus, giving you the precious seconds needed to act.
You turn and sprint toward the narrow passageway on the canyon's edge, heart thundering in your ears. Behind you, the sound of chaos eruptsâcrashing stones and a guttural roar as the Abomination engulfs its prey. Guilt gnaws at the edges of your mind, but survival instinct overrides all else.
The passage is narrow, the walls closing in as you squeeze through. You stumble over loose rocks, adrenaline the only thing keeping you upright. The beastâs footsteps shake the ground as it finishes its grim work, turning its attention back to you. The exit is almost in sight, a sliver of daylight promising freedom and safety.
But suddenly, a shadow looms overhead. You glance back to see the Abomination squeezing into the passageway, its massive bulk blocking all retreat. The ground below your feet quakes, stones tumbling from the canyon walls. The monster's claws swipe dangerously close, the air filled with a bone-chilling roar.
Trapped between the beast and a collapsing exit, your next move could mean the difference between life and becoming another casualty of the apocalypse.
