The next morning he woke to sounds of distant screaming and rumbling. He slept under a tree with decent cover from rain. Then he picked up his things and stood up waking up his dog in the process deciding that it was a good idea to go and see the commotion. As he traveled closer to the noise he saw more and more destruction to the landscape large footprints, unearthed trees and torn up ground. This could have only been the work of that creature he witnessed yesterday. He followed the trail of destruction further and further the screams and rumbles getting increasingly more intense and painful to hear. Until he came to a settlement of survivors being attacked by the beast crushing people and damaging buildings. He rushed over and decided to help. He found a wounded man crawling around near a pile of rubble; he pulled him up and askedÂ
"What the hell happened here?"Â
the wounded man brushed himself off speedily and with a look of terror screamed "What do you think happened? that thing came from atop the hill in a frenzy trying to eat us!"
the man pondered as he realised that this was his fault. He looked at the man again with a hint of excitement in his eye and exclaimed "I have a plan"
He then ran towards the hulking behemoth pulling out a box of matches and his trusty knife from his pocket. The creature was already damaged by a myriad of projectiles all he had to do was finish it off right?. the ground was uneven and dangerous but his dog showed the way soon he found him self at the monsters feet once again and cut straight into them; the beast fell to the ground - its feet crippled - giving the man time to climb up on top of the sphere. The beast brought itself back up - during this the man started unscrewing the valve on one of the hydrogen tanks. The monster tried to shake him off more and more but only threw it self off balance. He then turned the valve for one last time until it came off and started to light the match 1, 2, 3, nothing. the match didn't light. 1, 2, 3, fire burst from the match as he threw it in the hydrogen and jumped.
