Happy Friday. Up early did some writing, some admin, and now it’s coffee time!
The scientist laughed during the interview.
“There’s no possible way a theropod predator survived unnoticed this long.”
Then someone handed him a photograph recovered from a missing hiker’s camera.
His laughter stopped.
Because standing behind the trees was something evolution should have buried millions of years ago.

I'm a goner either way but I do enjoy me a good game of cat and mouse. Not as the mouse...
For me it would be either:
The Mongolian Death Worm because, well because they are 5 foot dark red worms capable of spitting highly toxic corrosive acid or it electric shocks you... I'll pass
Or
The Fresno Nightcrawlers, yeah another worm. What can I say giant worms creepy me out! But then who wouldn't be if you look out your window at night and some worm is slowly striding across your yard... Yup hard no on this one too

The Burrunjor arrived before sunrise.
No footsteps. No growl.
Just the feeling that something large had decided the coffee shop belonged to it.
It ducked beneath the doorway with the patience of an apex predator pretending to understand human architecture.
It ordered black coffee.
Steam curled around teeth far too large for civilization.
“Long trip?” I asked.
Another rumble.
The windows vibrated.
It said:
“Sixty-five million years.”
