Chapter Text
Their lips parted as they tried to slow their breathing. They could hear that thing coming, searching for them no doubt. Red blood trickled down their wounded leg, tightly wrapped in a stained bandanna. It won't find me here, it won't find me here, they thought, hoping to trick themselves into believing it. They remembered long ago when they were a little kid, hiding in this very spot from their mother in a game of hide and seek. She could never find them in the storage bench, she never bothered to look. That's what Flynn was counting on. Long yellow claws scraped across the wooden floor. As it came closer Flynn put both hands over their mouth as their brown bloodshot eyes peeked out of the storage bench. Beer cans and wine bottles smashed against the wall, that's when they heard it. The rabbit. The monster gripped it between its claws as it wailed. No sound has ever been so terrible. As it was being crushed the rabbit screamed, it perfectly replicated the sound of a small child's shriek. Tears started streaming down Flynn's cheeks as they found it harder and harder to silence their sobs. The monster stopped for a moment of silence. Flynn's heartbeat echoed in their ears, silent prayers and pleads was the only thing in their head. The beast dropped the deceased rabbit in front of the bench. Flynn let out a gasp of horror. Before they could process what they'd done, the beast ripped off the lid and horrified screams could be heard for miles across the empty New York City.
