New Creature Discovered! – A Short Story

In a village overrun by cockroaches, rats, and silky cobwebs lived about 1000 innocent people. Even though they had always hoped to escape, they remained inside the village because of its quiet nature. Sooner,  the village became more interesting…

It all began last week, when a zookeeper was peacefully feeding a zebra. While listening to blasting music, there was a loud scream; he took off his headphones and realised it was giving birth! Before everyone knew it, an unordinary, slimy creature was brought into the world. It had 3 heads and happened to only have 2 legs, with no ears and no hands! Half of its body was covered in purple goo and the other half was silky and yellow. Everyone gasped in disbelief, taking photographs of the weird creature.

People started visiting the zoo more often.

A couple of days later, scientists decided to name the creature “Blogus” because of its slimy texture. This creature has had many benefits such as allowing tourists to enter the village, which never happens. Little did the villagers know that Blogus had many disadvantages that would make them regret everything.

It turns out that the smart creature has been extinct for 300 years and has somehow been brought back to life. It had an extremely dark history, in order to live, it had to eat all sorts of living organisms, animals and even humans!. Scientists panicked and rushed to the police to report about it, but they ignored him as this creature was the best thing ever happening to them. Unaware of what danger could happen to the village. The village will turn from a peaceful village to a nightmare.

It was soon all over the news. Villagers panicked as they ran to different shops to buy a year’s food supply, and even put their houses on lockdown!  Soon, police officers surrounded the zoo while animal control placed barriers around Blogus’s cage. Things were getting hectic!

Blogus was extremely confused, not knowing what to do. Blogus panicked trying to find a way out but then remembered he had slimy texture, so slithered through the bottom of the barrier. It was able to escape from the zoo.

Blogus began roaming around the village, furiously, as if he had lost his mind!  Human population decreased slowly, and buildings collapsed. Adults covered children’s eyes . It was a disaster!

Officers rushed outside confused on how Blogus got out. Not knowing what to do, they tried multiple ways to trap the creature. One officer tried to place a fishing net on top, hoping it would catch the creature but it couldn’t! All hope was gone.

From the shadows, Dr. Lunatic came running in, shouting: “I GOT IT, I HAVE THE CURE!”

The head chief stated, with a disgusted face, “oh please, you have been saying this for the past decade, and your ideas always fail!”

Dr. Lunatic decided to ignore the chief and took out Gallons of hot water. He began to spray it on Blogus. Slowly, Blogus started dissolving. All the villagers were stunned. In a matter of seconds, the creature has completely dissolved!

Everyone sighed in relief and turned to face Dr.Lunatic.

People came running towards him, with excited expressions on their faces.

Later, he was rewarded with a trophy and given six months of VIP access to any place he wanted.

 

Till this day, people question if Blogus is truly gone.
