There it sat. A black thing. It seemed to be an undulating blob. "What the? What is that thing?" Seth says to himself. It suddenly forms into a spindly creature on four legs. It's body had four yellow eyes, burning through the dark alley. Seth started to back away, but too late. Soon the creature came at him, nimbly speeding. Seth ran but felt a leg press him down. A spike shot out of another leg and Seth watched in horror as it flew towards him. Somehow, he brought his hand up and caught the leg, inches from his throat. He used all his strength and twisted and felt the foot break off. More goo spurted like black blood from where the leg was. He stabbed the other leg with his new weapon and it recoiled. Seth got up, holding his new weapon. He pulled his math book from a newly ripped hole in his backpack and held into infront of him. Fleeing won't work, but killing will. Hopefully.

Seth bucked a rock down the alley and it charged at the sound. It hit a fence and fell over. Seth ran over to it and stabbed it over and over again in the body. It stood, but Seth continued to attack until it fell again. It melted back to the black goo, which steamed until seemingly evaporating. "Holy crap. What was that thing?"
