The Light (Morpheus Road)
“We looked toward the stern to see the scaly back rise up once more.
"Look!" Sydney shouted, pointing forward.
Another black, scaly spine broke the surface. Or maybe it was part of the same creature.
"It's circling us," I said, unbelieving.
"Is this an illusion?" Sydney whimpered.
"Who cares? Let's get the hell out of here." Sydney didn't need convincing. She fired the engine and twisted the throttle just as the creature rose up directly in front of us. I caught a quick glimpse of a black eye th...e size of a tennis ball. It was sunken into a scaly reptilian head that could have been a snake or an alligator or the Loch Freakin' Ness Monster for all I cared. The head had barely broken the surface when the Jet Ski hit it and skimmed over the top. I felt the back of the Jet Ski kick up as the creature rose out of the water. For a second I thought we'd do an end-o and somersault forward, Jet Ski and all. Luckily, we had gotten too far ahead for that to happen and instead came crashing back down to the water as the head of the creature continued to rise.MoreLess
