It appeared on the darkest night
It cried to the sky, howling in flight
If you ever see the dreaded thing
You life will end, death's song with sing

Me and my friends Drake, Sally, Billy, and Callie were sort of daredevils. We enjoyed urban exploring, which is going to abandoned, off-limits places such as old factories or amusement parks. Another one of our favorite activities was ghost hunting. We had even bought EMF detectors to find them. One day, Callie decided that we should go explore the old LA Zoo, which had closed a while ago. We should have never gone to that wretched old zoo.

When that thing is what you seek
Your chances of survival are bleak
The fate of you is has now been set
But you won't believe me I bet

We had finally reached the old LA Zoo. It was in massive disrepair. If I had the choice, I would much rather have gone to the new LA Zoo. None of the animals were there anymore, unless you count the rats and cockroaches. Drake began to run into where the bears where kept, which was abandoned as well. Billy was staring into an empty cage that was now filled with tall weeds. Callie and I ate some chips we had bought on the way here on a smooth rock. Sally went to see if the merry-go-round was still working. Something was definitely wrong, and the three of us could sense it.

There is no way of escape
It's horrid smile will take shape
No where to run or to hide
You cannot escape inside

It was getting late, so we decided to camp out for the night. What a big mistake. We decided to tell scary stories around a campfire. As soon as I finished my story, something could be heard making noises in the lion enclosure. Billy had decided to go check it out. None of us wanted to go with him, so we let him go explore it by himself, but we at least gave him a flashlight. A few minutes had passed and there will still no sign of Billy.

Never try to find those creatures
For they have many disturbing features
Death from a horde
He killed us all, even our most powerful lord

Drake grew restless of all this. He wanted to know what the heck that thing was. Callie and I tried to convince him not to. Maybe Billy had just been arrested by the police. We didn't want to get caught trespassing. It didn't stop him from going to the lion enclosure. Callie, Sally, and I all huddled together in pure fear, and we slept soundly for a while.

Could you survive it's fangs?
Nay, it's deathly touch is like being hang
Could one hold off it's deadly attacks?
No, for one must never avoid it's acts

The three of us had woken up around 1 AM. Callie broke down and started to cry. She was deeply disturbed by the events that have happened since last night. We decided to run back to our car. What we found there was a mangled mess of parts, ripped to shreds and covered in thick, red blood. Sally screamed with pure horror in her voice.

When you let out a striking scream
You will think that this is all a dream
But this is no dream with pink skies,
But a nightmare in disguise

Whatever had been killing my friends had finally decided to approach us. Though it only appered was a pair of yellow, glowing eyes. Callie asked it why it killed Billy and Drake. All it did was laugh and say "I was getting a little bored.". We decided to run as fast our legs could take us. However, whatever it was grabbed Sally and dragged her into the fog. We had just escaped with our lives.
