Argh…
From within the rift, monsters crawled out one by one. Some with six arms, some covered in lizard-like scales, and others resembling humans with rotting flesh. Their crimson eyes gleamed, sweeping across their surroundings like predators catching the scent of fresh blood.
Their gazes finally fixed on the underside of the bridge. Muscles bulged as they began to climb, claws scraping against concrete, producing a grating screech that made hairs stand on end. Luckily, the railings were tall enough to buy a little time before the horde reached the top. But winged beasts were already flapping skyward, diving down in search of prey.
On top of the bridge, chaos reigned. Police formed barricades, shouting at citizens to move back. Reporters from every outlet shoved for the best spot, cameras flashing nonstop even as fear lingered behind their eyes.
