DARK HORSE
The first thing that goes wrong is my music selection. Itâs supposed to be âTNTâ by AC/DC, but I must have done something wrong because Iâve got âThe Sound of Silenceâ by Simon & Garfunkel playing in my ear.
And that just makes me sad. Garfunkel was the name I gave to the blue Europhid consciousness occupying my mind. Weâveâ¦merged since then, the two of us becoming one. But that mostly means my personality, emotions, whateverâall the human stuffâwith his vast amount of celestial knowledge. And hopefully some of the logic and wisdom. But I still identify as Moses Montgomery, aka Dark Horse, still love my main squeeze, Chuy, and I still have the same passions, hates, and meh feelings about things. Like Limonaid. Itâs like flat Sprite. I could drink it, butâ¦meh. Garfunkelâs merger didnât change any of that.
Feels like Iâve lost a friend. Again.
When Garfunkel and I spoke inside a virtual space in my mind, he took the form of my childhood friend, Max. But those chats have ended, and I feel like Iâve lost Max againâ¦even though everything that was Garfunkel is still part of me.
Fuck, this song is making me sad. I sound like a damn Hallmark movie on the Lifetime Network.
But I canât do anything about it now. Whatever sent Henry careening like a flicked jumping bean is coming through the gate. And it ainât little.
We should probably press the attack, but the freakshow stepping its way onto Earth commands my full attention.
Itâs thirty feet tall and hunched. Long, dangling clumps of matted hair sway from its furry body. Theyâre green, from algae, I think. Long curved claws extend from the creatureâs feet, and stubby hands are at the ends of its long arms. But none of that is what makes it truly horrible. This monstrosityâs mouthâ¦splits vertically, straight up the middle of its torso. And the real estate on its head is mostly populated by a single, bulbous eyeball that swivels around, spotting each one of us in rapid succession.
Once the creature is fully through the gate, it extends its arms and unleashes an earsplitting roar. Arcs of viscous drool warble and stretch, before snapping and slapping to the ground, propelled by the air flowing from the monsterâs lungs. Following the sound is a smell so pungent, I nearly wretch. A few taps later, my mask is on and filtering the odor.
âGood night,â Delgado says, covering his nose, before spotting my raised mask and thinking to do the same for himself. The other three might have to endure the stench. Donât have time to host a tutorial.
âI got this!â Delgado says, stepping out in front of the beast, plain as day. He raises his weapons, pulls the triggers, and unleashes hundreds of rounds in just a few seconds.
Wonât be long before most of those rounds impact the ocean a mile from here. But some hit the intended target.
And they do little good.
The creature flinches from the first few impacts, but then it just curls in on itself and absorbs the abuse.
