Description
No one had actually seen one. We weren't even certain that they had existed. I mean after the initial attack, and all the major cities were destroyed, we had lost pretty much all communications. Rumors had spread that the aliens had left. We definitely couldn't spot them in the skies. But, of course, most of us we're in hiding.

The real concern didn't come till later, when the fallout shelters began to disappear, one-by-one. That's when the new rumors had surfaced-- that they had left something behind, some sort of hunter-trackers.

We had no way of confirming this. And that's where I came in.

Who knew that a photographer might be able to change the nature of this war? Who knew that I could actually make a difference in this thing?

But I did.

I went out to the Ashfall Colony. They were all dead as expected. Something had found them and killed them all. They didn't die well, either. Being evaporated by the motherships didn't seem so bad now. However, these people had been torn apart from the inside.

It was here that I got the damn picture-- the only one to date of our unknown enemies. I saw it scurrying along a ruined wall one day, and my reaction speed surprised even me!

I had it! I had it on film!

The only problem now-- was ditching it! For it was following me. I think it wanted me to lead it to the next colony.

I was going to have to kill this thing. I had no choice. I just needed to trap it. This is where my camera came in. I sat it on the floor in the hall, and set it for a timed pictures. Meanwhile, I would wait around the corner, hoping--just hoping-- that it didn't see me.

It seemed like forever, as I listened to my camera take automated shots in the wet hallway.

Click... Click... Click...

And then I could hear the slimy creature emerge.

I had a crowbar in my tightened hand, and my back against a wall. All I had to do was wait...

Click..
