Among Man
And finally there it lay, silent behind the thick smog, among its rubble and waste. Comfortably the thing slept in this wasteland it called home. Overjoyed as I was to finally document this creature and provide tangible proof of its existence, I knew to move with caution. Decades upon decades of researchers would venture to this world only to be met with its ghostly silence and infinite contamination. With the lack of life, save for the few flora that miraculously grew, many deemed this expedition counterproductive and merely a waste of resources. Once in a great while would one of mine report a sighting, or find unidentifiable prints. Yet with no further evidence to promote regular searches, the thing continued to remain elusive. Only in outdated records and the most imaginative minds could such a monster exist. Still by fate, surely not luck, did the thing that so many believe to be extinct sleep before me.
