The word takes root. An impulse, electric, surging through his legs. The fence is fifty meters away across the rain slicked street. Tension slides into action as the beast starts moving, impossibly fast. Nails, scrabbling on wet tar. A single thought, blazing through the fog of fear.
Run for it

Thanks! I'm really enjoying creating lore for steemmonsters actually. It's quite entertaining to be writing in a freshly created shared world actually. You signed up on red right?

Great series of images here. I can totally see a beast/dog/creature/wolf/werewolf scrabbling with long claws on pavement.
