Dinosaur Egg

by Matt Hollingsworth

I believe it was at that exact moment I saw it all. It could have been a figment of my imagination, but I don’t think so. For a split second, it was real. I saw the soldiers running through the woods. I saw a woman shot before my eyes. I saw a creature that stood thirty feet high. I saw a field of bleached white bones. But the thing I remember most was the barely human beast haunting me; a beast that I would watch commit atrocities. I saw myself helpless before him and him helpless before me. Only for a moment, and then it was gone. My name is Joseph, and this is my story.
