The Tyrannosaurus

I lived on this island for as long as I can remember, but I have never seen visitors, that informed before. I have seen lots of things, my knowledge of this island goes way back, but my knowledge of these new creatures, I never saw them or knew about them before, but they smelled good to eat.



It was raining heavily on our island, and I was able to see huge waves, attacking the island from the sea. I can hear the thunder and see the lightning. I thought it would be a cold and wet night, but I never expected the waves, to bring us, visitors. They looked weird, they got very small faces, they walk on two legs and were strictly upright while walking, I have never seen anything like them before; I was unable to stop staring at them.



They were looking for a shelter as if the trees weren’t enough shelter for them, so they started to cut them down, and take the wood, and they made some kind of a house with the wood, and some ropes they had with them. I was able to hear them talk to each other. One of them said, “Lara, I don’t know where we are, but I will figure it out soon, just be careful, we don’t know what kind of creatures live here.” “It’s ok George; I think I can take care of myself for one night,” replied Lara.



I wasn’t bothered by these new visitors or residents of the island, after all, what can they do, to bother me. That’s what I thought I was wrong. It started the next morning when the sun was shining in the sky, and all the residents of the island appeared. The first ones who introduced themselves to these new residents were the Procompsognathus or the Compys, they are very tiny dinosaurs, and got a very weird way of greeting people, they started by biting their legs while they were sleeping, but they didn’t harm them, I saw no blood. Lara and George didn’t like them that much, Lara screamed once she saw them, and George kicked them away once they bit him. The Compys with their nature are sticky, so they didn’t leave when George kicked them, they started squeaking, and jumping around them, playing with Lara’s hair, and pulling George’s t-shirt. Lara and George woke up, trying to figure out what was going on. Once they saw the Compys, they got really scared, George took out a tiny black thing, he called a gun and handed it over to Lara, he told her to shoot if she felt danger. Suddenly a very loud sound was released, and the Compys were dead.



What? They killed the Compys, they were harmless, they only eat trees, and they were just greeting them, what were they thinking? It would be better to warn, the other dinosaurs on the island about the danger that the new residents brought to us, that was my thoughts then. I was going to meet the Triceratops, the Stegosaurus and the rest of the dinosaurs. I tried to go and talk to the rest of the creatures on the island, but once they see me they run away as fast as they can, I know I am bigger, and I am the biggest dinosaur on this Island but I also care for our safety and of course the safety of my food in our community. I thought I will eat them. It was impossible to get near them, to talk. So I decided to face the risk by myself, after all, what can a tiny little gun do to me.



I was willing to go and confront them and try to show them, that they have overstayed their welcome, but when I was moving toward them, I saw Ornithischian, he got a very long neck, to eat the leaves on the trees, he doesn’t like meat, as I do. He was moving toward the new residents, I tried to warn him, by making a very loud sound, telling him it is dangerous to be near them, but I made it worse, they got alerted, so they moved to hide behind the shelter they made, then George grabbed a big huge thing, that was bigger than that gun, he used before, and shot directly at the Ornithischian. The Ornithischian was wounded but didn’t die when I saw one of the Ornithischians bleeding I went directly forward to attack them, I had no choice, they will end the life of these creatures on the island to do something. Once they saw me, they screamed, they looked like two crazy people screaming like they saw a beast or a ghost. George and Lara panicked and they kept on repeating “t-t-t-t t-rex” they called me Tirex or Tyrannosaurus weird name I thought, maybe because I have a huge body, and I might eat them, for my lunch, Still not a nice name. I thought.



George told Lara in a very low voice that I was able to hear with a lot of difficulties, that they better leave before they become my food or something like that. Suddenly I found them running away faster than any creature I have ever seen, the next thing I knew there was no sign of them, neither on the island nor sea. They disappeared.



The rest of the dinosaurs on the island came to thank me for helping them get rid of the danger that was facing us, but yet they avoided getting near. After all, they knew I like them to be my food someday, but not today.
