This week, I decided to do a little woodworking to take my mind off of some personal stuff. I made 3 boxes with the same dimensions as the first one. The point of this was to see if each one would improve as I […]

Over the past few months, I have been in the Maker Space either helping Ryan-san on his projects or mine. However, my most accomplisheded feat is a chair. I had completed the original design while some of the ALC […]

The Beast

It slowly moved back and forth. All of a sudden, it pounced. The beast’s sharp claws looked menacing. A figure crumpled next to him. Bob. Tomis dashed down the tunnel tracks. He heard the beast chasing him. Out of nowhere, the tracks ended. The beast was almost upon him. Suddenly, the ceiling collapsed. A dark figure outstretched his hand. He grabbed it impulsively. The shadowy person hauled him up.

“Who are you?” the person asked.

“I am Tomis,” he answered. “My crew and I were exploring. While we were exploring, it came. The beast attacked us outta nowhere.”

“You disturbed it,” the man answered. This is it’s lair. It didn’t used to be. It used to be an outpost. A few decades ago, it came. It slaughtered everyone but me. I have chased it for years. However, I cannot do it alone.”

“Why?” Tomis asked.

“The beast is faster and stronger. I cannot kill it. It is always aware.”

“Why are you here?” Tomis questioned.

“The man replied, “To kill it. All my friends were cut down. It ate their body parts slowly. They suffered beyond belief. It will kill your comrade too. However, he is already dead.”

“What happened to Bob?” Tomis inquired.

“The shadowy form replied, “The blow. The blow was a death blow. It will slowly bleed him out. The beast will gnaw at him. This makes the pain worse. The pain makes you scream. The pain barely keeps you alive. The beast will then decide. Have you had enough pain? Probably not. It will slowly take his life. In agony.”

“That’s horrible,” Tomis answered. “Is there anything we can do? Can we kill him? Make it easier for Bob?”

“It is unlikely,” the man said. “The beast is protective of food. It won’t allow anything near. It will finish the meal. However, there are two of us. Maybe I could help you. I’ll tell you what I know. That way you can be prepared.

“Sounds like a plan,” Tomis said. “Alright, let’s get to it.”

Over the last couple weeks, Ryan and I have been working on carpentry. It has been very fun to measure, draw, cut and etc… One of the projects we worked on was Abby’s fossil. Abby had asked us to make a frame […]
