Thomp Thomp Gillawomp

109.

"At least its warm here." They had found a ring of cabins nearby. They were in poor shape having been an attempt at some kind of vacationing spot before they were abandoned however long ago. But they kept the cold out a little bit and within a short period of time Gilbert had a fire going in the fireplace, though he warned Clarissa about carbon monoxide because he didn't know if the chimney was still functioning properly.

"Something isn't right."

"Well we just got here and the building is falling apart, I'm pretty sure it's all not right."

"Not that, why didn't those other people come here? We found this place pretty easily and they would have as well, where are the bodies, I keep feeling I'm missing something here." Clarissa heard it just as Gilbert finished talking. A thump, it reminded her of how a trex was supposed to sound when it walked near you. Gilbert seemed to take no notice of it, he was lost in his own thoughts.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That loud thump just now?"

"Clarissa now is not the time for your Gillawomp madness." Another thump, this one was closer. Clarissa was looking outside and even with the fire messing with her eyes she swore she saw snow move with the thump.

"You're telling me you haven't heard two loud thumps?"

"No I didn't hear anything." Clarissa was staring hard out the window. Her eyes locked on what looked like an indent in the snow with nothing causing the indent. Clarissa wasn't even breathing, fear had gotten into her as she watched, her hands trembled a bit. There was no noise or movement, Gilbert was about to just call her snow crazy when Clarissa screamed.

"IT BLINKED!" She was staring hard at the indent in the snow and didn't even notice the huge eye staring at her until it blinked. Gilbert froze in place.

"Don't move."

"What you think its like a t-rex?"

"I don't know, but obviously it isn't attacking us yet, so don't move just stand there." Clarissa felt she was too close to the window for her liking but Gilbert was right in that it hadn't reacted to them yet.

"So what is that thing?"

"A Gillawomp clearly." Clarissa would have hit Gilbert if she wasn't worried about moving causing the creature to attack.
