Foreigner in the Land

I had just experienced the toughest hunt since I was able to remember. I will say it has not been long since memories flooded my head. I know I was the size I am now when the memories came. Does that mean I came into existence looking like I do now? Maybe, but by observing the others in this land I have seen many whom were small then they become taller and taller. I am much taller than the majority of the living beings I have encountered so either I have reached my height, or I will be towering over all beings by a long shot. I hope not for then I will be easily seen and there is a particular group of beings that want to cause me harm. I do not know why for I never thought of harming them. Unfortunately, I have harmed a couple of them since I gained my memories due to them trying to harm me. I tried to make them stop but it did no good, so I had no choice.

I looked down at what I brought down.

"I am sorry," I said to the being. "I do not know how I was created, but I crave to consume you. Unfortunately, what grows from the non-beings do not satisfy me."

I am able to walk on two appendages, but this being is able to move on all four so was much quicker. But I was able to pounce on it when the being thought it escaped me. My extra-long claws were able to end the being's life.

There was one small one around when I spotted this being, so I felt much better when I hunted it down. I would hate to leave the small ones by themselves.

With my claws and long, sharp teeth I was able to consume the being quite easily. By being able to do such a thing tells me I was created this way, so I am able to survive in this land.

I have come across many beings that have been partially consumed. I am not that way for I find it unkind to leave part of a being not fully eaten. If you take a being's life you should consume all of them to satisfy my hunger. even the ones that hunted me.

"I am not the only one hunting other beings," I thought. "But I do wonder if I am the one who started the hunt? Was the hunting around before me?" I scratched my hairy head as I looked at the being that only had the hard parts left that were similar to my teeth. "This is my fault. Or is it?" I have come across other beings that only had their hard part left. but did it happen before I came around or after. I am not sure I will ever know the answer.

Eating such a large being made me very thirsty so I started to look for either a thin stream of liquid or a large area of liquid. I prefer the liquid that moved very fast. Tasted so much better than the liquid that moved little. It did not take me long to find the liquid I liked. I also encountered a being that was on all fours like most of them, but much smaller, and fur similar to mine, drinking. Upon seeing me the being growled, showing off small fangs compared to mine. Then it turned around and hurried off.

"Do not worry!" I called out. "I am no longer hungry!"

I wonder if the being can understand what I am saying. It seems like none of the beings can understand me for they all run away. Even the ones who seemed to be smarter that hunted me.

"I wish I could find another being that looked like me," I thought. "Someone I can talk to."

As I continue to move across the land, I see the different beings of all types, and they all have others like them. I t seems I am the only one of my kind. Every time I think of such, water leaks from my eyes.

I started drinking. When I had enough, I decided to walk along the water until I came to a lot of water. I stpped and looked into the water. I could see myself. Except for parts of my face I am covered in dark hair. Tones of hair that keep me warm when it gets cold. Btu when it gets hot I loke to jump into these large pools of water.

I looked closer at the water to look at one of my fangs jutting out of my mouth. I thought it was cracked, but it must have been the water for it was fine.

"Am I scary to other beings?" I asked as I continued to look at myself. "They all run away from me."

I looked around at my surroundings. I should not be close to this pool of water for I was by one when the beings started hunting me. They started throwing things at me, which one hit me. Even though, it bounced off of my chest it hurt. Luckily, I could move much faster than them and everything they threw at me was far from hitting me. It was deep into where there were numerous non-beings where I met other of these beings. A couple of them made loud sounds and turned around and ran. Two others attacked me. Being so close and very difficult for one to flee I had to end their moving. I consumed one and carried the other until I was hungry again.

"They would still be around if they did not hurt me."

I moved on, staying in areas that was covered since it was bright. Once darkness came, I can move everywhere. But I will only go so far before I find a place to sleep.

"Tomorrow, I will continue on. Hopefully, one day I will find one I can talk to."

If not, then it's meant for just me. Maybe this land is not ready yet.
