Lia's body stilled completely.
The deafening sounds around her—
The giant monster crushing into the building, devouring the concrete into its big, wide maw.
The muffled screams of people disappearing or running away.
Everything dulled around her.
"Brother…"
The word that escaped her lips was barely even a whisper.
Her trembling eyes remained locked on the gigantic creature buried halfway within the collapsed building.
Her thoughts turned blank.
'What just happened?'
'Where did brother go?'
'Did that creature—'
She couldn't even complete the thought.
Her breath hitched involuntarily before she could even imagine it.
No.
No.
No, no, this wasn't true.
It couldn't be.
Her fingers trembled against the floor beneath her.
"That man… did that crazy man die?"
Jane's husband muttered in disbelief, standing just beside her.
The words alone made Lia's body tremble violently.
The husband's shock wasn't because the monster ate him.
