Different Monsters, Same Outcome
Some monsters awaken immediately, plow through walls, crush cars, kill mercilessly and leave only destruction in their paths. Think Jurassic Park or War of the Worlds.

It was good while it lasted.
She walked in and told me to get dressed. “Time to leave,” she said.
“Already?”
Dang. Stephanie was great.
