The Return of the Giants by Kayla Seya
Mia wakes up to a boom. The ceiling above her head was destroyed. In a panic, she leaves her room to see the living room to also be destroyed, and that her upstairs neighbors’ stuff has crashed into her apartment. Her neighbor Claire sits, exhausted, on the items that fell from her apartment. Mia notices and helps Claire up. They look up and stare at the gigantic human staring back at them. The humans are unresponsive as Mia and Claire find the strength to leave the room and warn the other neighbors about what’s going on. But it was clear that many of those humans had taken over the neighborhood. They were walking the neighborhood mindlessly, like they owned it. Although they were not harming anyone intentionally they were stepping on cars in the street and causing a ruckus everywhere. No one had no idea where they were going. But it was plain obvious where they came from. It didn’t make any sense. The only thing that did was that they came from the sky. No one had predicted that this would happen, but it just did, and now the humans of the world were going to have to endure it for the time being. It was clear the giants were going one way. Because when one giant sees another giant walking, they are immediately compelled to walk with them. It is like the gigantic humans join together when they see other giants walking together. So it was good for the people who were behind the walking giants, as they could come together to hide. The unknown force was walking in a group like a flock of birds. The regular humans down thought that they were free from those gigantic human terrors. But they were sadly mistaken. There was an irregular human who came up out of nowhere and screamed at the gigantic humans. Turned around and started running towards the people of the neighborhood. One of those giants picked up a civilian and put them inside its big slobbery mouth. It was clear that it was beyond for this human and it was going to be the end for a lot of them. The reason for doing it was unclear, and the person who caused this was nowhere to be found. Civilians running around like crazy. No one knew where to go or where to hide. It was like being a cornered rat. Living a regular life, 245
