This Can't Be At All My Fault

"This is all your fault." Five more people had been eaten. The remaining people were all up on the roofs. The creatures had learned they could snatch people from elevated walk ways which is how four of the five people had gotten eaten, the fifth had simply fell from a ladder. I of course was blamed for this. I'm sure Trezlan could relate.

"Yeah I totally brought huge man eating worms when I showed up here, its what I do." I of course was not helping with my sarcasm.

"Would you two shut up, I think the worms can hear us." I and the man I'd been arguing with looked over at the woman who told us to shut up like she was an idiot, up until a worm almost leapt up and snatched me.

"Ok so you're right." It hurt me to admit this. I still wondered how many worms there were, or what we could do to kill them, but mostly I wondered how long we could all stand around on roofs without going to the bathroom. It was starting to become a larger worry for me, because I had to go and it was almost getting to the point of being painful. So I decided expertly it was time to just kill some damn worms. I did this totally on purpose, and not because I fell off the roof trying to balance going to the bathroom while also not showing the world my genitals.

When I hit the ground after I pulled up my pants I could hear the creatures coming. It was a low rumbling that grew louder as the creature approached. I unsheathed my swords and made myself ready. I figured they'd reach up beneath my feet as they had done before and was slightly unpleasantly surprised when the gods damned things leapt at me from under the ground. Like a shark reaching up to snatch prey on the surface. It was a bad decision for coming after me. I swung my sword and the cleaved the worm in two, it looked smaller than I assumed what had drug other people under the ground, and from the sound of a piercing wail when I killed the smaller creature I assumed I just killed one of their children.

"Great you just pissed them off."

"What are they going to do try and kill me more?" Yes, the answer to this question is yes, they did want to kill me more.
