The door was jiggling harder and harder now, so I grabbed my pistol and hid under my bed, I could hear the voice of my wife Emily again calling for me, then the door burst open and I heard several animalistic sounds that were like clicking but suddenly I remembered my son's bedroom door was wide open, so I waited until they were gone and I burst out from under my bed, when I got there I saw his window was wide open so I grabbed some rope from my son's lights over his bed and climbed out, then suddenly I heard a deep bellow like an alligator that i felt in my chest first, and I turned to look and there it was a massive tyrannosaurus rex, it looked like it came straight out of paleo accurate art from back in 2026 when I was a kid it didn't seem to immediately go for me it just stood there like it was observing, so I ran to the car a Chevy camero, i closed the door and sped off it chased after me for a while with the speed of a pro athlete, but considering the speed i was going i lost it, I came acrosst an old abandoned gas station i settled in for the night sleeping on the cold hard floor, in the morning I gathered enough food for a decent breakfast as salvagable.
