Day 2,659

Laughter filled the air as its many mouths snapped open and closed, tongues flicking through the air as it tried to taste where they'd gone. From the way the air still held the sharp tang of their fear, they hadn't managed to leave the building yet - maybe not even the room.

Fortunately for them it had no eyes, no real features at all along its undulating flesh-toned mass other than the countless mouths and the ear-piercing laughter that rattled through the air as it stretched itself slowly around the room, heading right for the overturned car they were hiding behind.

Much like them, it had likely fallen through the factory floor into the sub-basement where the creature had been waiting for God-only knows how long for food to arrive and here they were. Crouched behind broken glass and crumpled iron that definitely had teethmarks all along it, wondering if they could make it to the emergency exit before the mass and mouths reached them first.

As its laughter gradually morphed into an endless chorus of howls, they ran.
