“The monster is loose! Run!”

All around me people were running and screaming, dragging little children, carrying babies, stampeding in a panic.

I ran, too. Frantic cries of Monster! rang out from both my right and my left.

Sirens blared. Searchlights probed dark alleyways and traversed the sky. A loudspeaker broadcast a warning that an alien monster was rampaging through the city and advised everyone to seek shelter. The fear was palpable.

I ran until my strength gave out, then slumped beside a trash can.

Suddenly, I was blinded by a flashlight trained on my face.

“Monster!” the crowd shouted.
