The Creature

It was already getting dark. A young couple of eighteen was having a romantic night picnic in the forest. Suddenly they heard a strange, shrill cry, resembling the supersound cry of a bat. It was approaching fast. The girl was frightened. Soon they saw the amorphous, dark figure of a creature they had never seen before. The light from the fire illuminated it. It was covered with gray fur; the head was unproportionally big compared to the body, especially the forehead. Its eyes were very small; its fingers ended with sharp claws. The animal was tall about a meter and a half. The boy took his knife and tried to attack the creature. The animal pierced the boy’s stomachwith his long, sharp claws and got his teeth into his throat. Soon the girl’s cries died away.

A week later the remains of their bodies were found. The Police were unable to figure out the mysterious death of the young people…The truth was known only by an exclusive group of scientists and military men from a secret military laboratory. A genetic experiment had been made-a hybrid of a man and bat was the product. This new creature used supersound waves to detect its victims. But this creature managed to escape through the air-conditioning vent while there was a problem with the electricity for several minutes.

There was a small article in the local newspaper saying that a pack of wolves had eaten a boy and a girl in the forest.
