Ahh, the pain, the pain, the pain, break out of pity! AAAAAAAAAH AAARGH It is like going to the dentist with a tooth that you have to remove before anesthesia with stress in the waiting room.

Something sits on my side and moves.

I hear screaming: "Thomas, where are you? I'll find you..." in the room below.

"I heard you scream AAARGH"

"Are you all right?" said Lucas.

Lucas' voice seems to come from a young boy. They are probably playing hide-and-seek in the abandoned factory, probably their favourite playground.

"Thomas, did you hear the police cars on the other side of the disused factory? Come and get your bike."

But Thomas doesn't answer.

Of course, he heard Lucas, but he can't answer.

Thomas realized that he stepped on something that is breathing, that he is lying against it and does not move an inch, reducing his breathing to a minimum. The fear tremor is the response to stress when life is at stake.

It's funny, his breathing is synchronizing with mine. Since he doesn't take off the blanket, I'll stay still, trying to look like a sleeping crocodile. Then he moves a little away from me and gets up slowly. He thought I was an old sofa that accumulated dust, paint and moisture.

So when Lucas withdrew, he arrived at the scene and shouted: "Thomas, I'm waiting, if you don't come now, I'll go alone to see the police. "

"What, cops," huh?

And Thomas waved to Lucas to keep quiet and his shoe hung a free thread from the tarpaulin and when his foot was moving, discovered my tail.

As I am stressed, my tail moves from left to right and is thicker and thicker than any crocodile in the world. I always put the rest of the blanket on my body, neck and head.

"Whooaah, what is it" says Lucas?

"Don't move or make any noise, he'll catch me, please Lucas" says Thomas.

"I think it's a crocodile, you know they leave them in the sewers when they get bigger and they can't keep them as pets anymore. He must be alone and hungry. I've seen rabbits, drug addicts or beggars abandoned here. Oh, there's a big bag,"

"Stop it, Lucas, we're going to die, you're crazy and even crazier to pet him. He will hurt you and even eat you, that's for sure.

Me: If they dare touch my bag, Grrr.

A loud growl can be heard behind Thomas not coming from my mouth but from my stomach. GRWRLWRLWRLRLWRL.

My tail falls flat on the ground.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the boys run away, fall down the stairs and, at the same time, tear their clothes with the bazaar on their side and on the ground.

They jump on their bicycles and run across the wasteland.

Detective Drick????

"We found animal skins and the dogs returned to the car. They don't want to go out and they tremble with fear."

"Anything else?", the bravest dog led us to a place by the river. The deer were skinned there because there were traces of blood. We also found trails that lead to the old factory and huge footprints. We don't know what it is and the ranger who comes with us says that the forest is not in a normal state. As if there was a super predator, a crocodile, a bear or a grizzly bear, but it has never been seen before in this region. Maybe a predator who ran away from a local circus?"

"No, we haven't had a report like this for years," says Inspector Drick.

"Sir, we also found that the furnace was used and put into service. The doors and grate were heavy and an ordinary person is not able to lift them. "

"We didn't find any fingerprints anywhere," said one officer.

"The place where the deer were skinned is completely burned and the trees around it died as if a huge thunderclap had struck them here and killed the deer.

The suspect may have skinned the carcass, eaten it and left the skin.

This is the last place where GPS and wifi searches were done with the victim's computer and laptop."

"Okay, we're done here, he must be far away and must have gotten along from far away. Next time, stop the sirens and follow me. " - Drick.

"Let's go now"

and he gets in his car, lighting a rolled cigar: "See you next time Mr. Hit-Man"

As the police car moves forward, 2 silhouettes making signs come in their direction, on the grass and on 2 bicycles.

"Sir, sir, there, there, there, there, there," says Thomas.

"STOP SHOUTING" by opening the window of his car. "What do you have to say, one by one and not at the same time.

"CROCODILE" they say at the same time.

"What?" said the inspector. "Can you repeat that? "

"Lucas, you first", "no, you", "okay".

"We used to play hide-and-seek there and hide it from our mother because we don't want to be punished.

As I went upstairs, the room was hot and there were animals cooking on steel drums. It looked delicious and there was a couch.

I was sitting comfortably and playing on my phone waiting for Lucas to find me.

Then the couch moved and started to breathe, then I realized I was sitting on a crocodile. I was afraid he would take me, so I got up slowly. Then Lucas found me and I wanted to jump and I saw the big tail. The crocodile was gigantic like a lying elephant. He could swallow us in one bite. I didn't see her face, but it must be huge.

Then he growled furiously and it was great, the sound hit us and we fled to you. He's still here, probably."

"Thank you, boys, don't come back here again, it's dangerous and also forbidden. Please go home now and promise me you won't come back here. You can see how dangerous it is." Leave now!..

"Ready? It looks like we're going on a safari like in the Dundee crocodile," says the officer under Drick.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, still on the run now.

I should have killed them, but I am not heartless and I know the pain of losing children.

Where to go? And as I think, a popup map overlaying my view, in red with a pointer. Like in the dream?

No time to lose, Run. I take my bag, put it around my neck, swallow the rabbit all at once like a hungry crocodile without chewing and go to the roof.

With horror, I see 4 police cars rushing towards this place, sirens off.

The children must have reported me.

Shit.

I close my eyes and look at the map. The escape was by air and I decided to go through the edge of the forest to minimize the risk of being spotted.

Destination Parc de l'Eiffel. There are few campers, but it is less populated. There are castles, rocks and lakes, so there are as many hiding places as possible.

I jump from the roof in the opposite direction to the cars coming in so they can't see me. I spread my wings and FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP . With my greenhouses I scrape the tops of the trees nearby but still a few hundred meters in the field to reach the end of this wasteland.

In the afternoon, some walkers saw a dark green object mixing with the colour of the trees and grass. Their doggie crawling with fear and hiding. "Fido, Fido, what's going on?" Someone tells their dog.
