My bike skidded to a halt, spraying grit in several directions. My ears caught a faint swishing sound.
From miles away, I sensed it running towards me… strong, swift yet of monstrous built… a half-human with a head resembling that of a wild boar’s.
Its mouth was agape, baring gnarled, razor-sharp fangs…red tongue flickering like fire, dribbling disgustingly…luminous eyes flashing malevolently…
“Be gone, you murdering pig!” he half-roared, half-squealed as he charged.
I smiled at the irony of his words just before I fired, the silver creating a scarlet emblem on his forehead, blood splattering on the gravel.

I like the murdering pig line (nicely ironic) and your description of the pig is excellent. In the opening sentence, the way it’s structured says the bike is aware of the sound, which I know it isn’t. Maybe “As my bike skidded to a halt, spraying grit , I was suddenly aware of a faint swishing sound”. If I counted correctly, that has the same number of words. 🙂

You use lots of seriously sharp details in here — and they bring your story to life. I could see the beast’s fangs, eyes, and tongue. And great action, too!
thanks ^^
kz, I am in total awe of your descriptive terminology. Takes my breath away! Well done! “)

Oh, thank goodness for that, kz; he was just about to get me..!

I can hear the blood splattering – yuk. Great images in this piece – the skidding – I could all see it playing out in front of me.

Wonderful story and for some strange reason I enjoyed all the gruesome qualities in the story especially the murdering the pig line 🙂
A girls gotta defend herself. Well played. Fun read.
Interesting story. It gets me wondering what sort of world this is taking place in. Post-apocalyptic mutant setting?
Good stuff kz. Waiting for the movie now – which I imagine will be X rated!
Your description is priceless and draw me into the story right away.
