It was an absolutely beautiful day. The air was warm, the sun hung high in the sky. Not a single cloud drifted through the big blue. The sun glistened off the water within the city swimming reservoir. The reservoir was contained like many city spillways. High concrete walls surrounded the waters. Small platforms extended from the wall, barely big enough for people to walk along. A spillway vent was built in to prevent flooding of the area. The manmade beach was packed with people. Several stayed on land, sunbathing, while most were on the water, relaxing.

"Derry, come on, let's go back to the beach." Whined a young woman. She was tall and slender. Her dark red hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

Derry looked over his shoulder. "Oh come on, Heather, we're almost there. Where's your sense of fun?"

"On the beach where we should be." Heather replied.

Derry rolled his eyes and kept walking.

"Why are you so interested in the spillway, anyways?" Heather asked.

Derry turned and winked. "You'll see."

Heather sighed. She followed Derry along the walkway. They came to the entrance of the spillway. Derry stopped and inspected the spillway.

"That's weird." Derry said.

"What?" Heather asked.

"There's water running off." Derry answered.

"Well it is a spillway. Water does spill from it." Heather replied.

Derry shook his head. "No, the spill way is meant to have water run into it, not out of it. Especially in the summer."

"So?" Heather asked.

Derry walked off the walkway and stood in the entrance.

"What are you doing?" Heather asked.

"I'm gonna go take a look." He answered.

"Are you mad?" Heather asked.

"Look it's just a spillway. What's gonna be in a spillway?" Derry asked.

Heather shook her head. "Derry-"

"Look, two minutes and we'll go back to the beach." Derry said.

Heather sighed.

Derry walked into the spillway. Heather walked to the entrance and watched Derry disappear into the spillway. Heather bit her lip and looked back at the beach anxiously. She looked back at the entrance and took a hesitant step into the entrance.

"Derry? Heather asked.

"Whoa." She heard.

"What is it?" Heather asked.

"I don't know. It's huge thought." Derry answered.

"Okay, let's go back." Heather called.

"One sec. I want get a closer look."

"Derry!" Heather pleaded.

"What in the hell? Heather there's something in here." Derry called.

"Derry get out now!" Heather yelled.

Suddenly Derry cried screamed bloody murder. Heather jerked form the entrance in shock, slipping backwards into the water. She slipped under the water. As she surfaced, she heard something splash into the water near her. Heather surfaced but saw nothing. She turned around, facing the entrance again. Heather shook as she watched blood mixed with water run off the spillway. She turned and started swimming back toward the beach.

Something brushed past her legs, catching Heather's attention. She stopped swimming and looked around. She couldn't see anything along the surface near her. It brushed past her again, harder this time. Heather gasped in surprise. She started swimming back toward the beach. Then something sharp latched onto her legs. Heather managed a weak scream before being dragged beneath the water's surface.


let the carnage begin :D
