Hello fellow story writers. Ive written this story 2 months ago and decided to share it.



“No Mans” Land




Part I




The sunset casted an eerie shadow over the wasteland, known as “No mans” land by Gordon and his friends. But Gordon had recently lost contact with his friends by a surprise attack, forcing him to split up and take the only route for survival...”No mans land.”

“Clunkkk”. Gordon slammed hard against and old battered car that lay rotting in the now fading sunlight. Holding his shotgun in his left hand and holding his badly gashed leg with his right, he stumbled for an abandoned research facility. "This place will have to do", he thought to himself as he braced up on another old object catching his breath. He looked back behind to see if he was be followed, nothing. With sweat pumping down his cheeks and feeling himself get tired, Gordon pushed on...

Finally finding himself at the back entrance of the warehouse, he leaned up against the door to catch his bearings before entering. Taking a last look behind, he couldn't understand why his colleges would call this “No mans” land. The sun rapidly began to fade out of view as if it were afraid. “This is it", he readied himself. "Either I sleep out here for the night, or take my chances inside..." Slowly grabbing and turning the door knob, he pulled very…very… slowly...

Inside was poorly lit, slowly closing the door behind him, his eyes took awhile to adjust to the dimly lit interior. The only light available to him were protruding through the broken skylights and cracks up above. Soon that began to dim to pitch blackness before the sun left its friendly essence. Gordon got a good look before he was blanked in darkness. Rows and rows of vat containment storage capsules lined the floor endlessly. Some were crushed by the above catwalks, others lay knocked back. What ever was housed or preserved inside was either long dead, or had escaped. Dirty glass littered the floor, and off to the corners of the warehouse were various outdated equipment. Most looked undisturbed, while some seemed to be broken and ripped apart by some superhuman beast. Up above he noticed catwalks stretching as far the eye can see. Some parts were missing here and there. Soon the light was snuffed out and Gordon found himself in a now dark unnatural place...

Feeling for the wall, he quietly leaned up against it and slowly lowered himself down till his bottom hit the ground. With his badly injured leg sticking out, he felt for the handkerchief and tightened the wound up. Holding the pain inside, he clutched his shotgun and rested it on his lap. Soon he heard them, nocturnal creatures from outside began to awaken. Gordon was luckily this time…Or was he? Titling his head back against the wall, he began to sleep...

Not longer than 5 minutes before he dosed out, Gordon was awakened by a loud sound off into the distance. “Crangg, crangg, crangg, crangg!!....The catwalks up above rattled and echoed out, as some pieces fell to the ground nearby with a large “Clankk” and “Bank”. Bitts of pieces of metal flew off and hit various objects. Silence fell and Gordon peered out into the darkness clutching his shotgun ever so tightly. The moon began to shine through the broken skylight and various cracks, allowing him to see a little. Sweat began to tickle his hands as he further tightened his grip around his weapon. Nothing....

Five minutes passed as nothing happened. Letting down his guard slightly, he began to calm down when....”SCRREEEEEECKKKKKKKKK!!!” Gordon felt a cold air rush by his face as bits of tiny metal embedded themselves in his flesh. In a flash he dove to one side, aimed and fired “BOOOOM! CHIK CHIK”. The empty shotgun shell fell to the ground with a hollow “thunk” as Gordon switched on his gun-mounted light. He missed; he saw the moon light glow dimly glittering through the tiny holes his shotgun made and the large gash in the metal. What ever had tried to take his head off had missed and was now gone. With instinct he swung the barrel of his gun around to get a better view of the area. Before he could get a full swing, he heard something quick and swift run to the left of him. Immediately he felt a hard hairy object knock him flying against the wall. The rusted walls were no match for Gordon’s weight. He fell out of the facility and outside onto the cold dirt. Luckily the metal was rusted and broke his speed. Gordon then slowly lifted his face out of the dirt and coughed up slight blood. "Son of a..", Gordon managed to get out as he felt wet hot breath breathing down his neck. He managed to turn around and stared into the face of a 8 foot tall mutated werewolf. Suddenly its eyes glowed red as it tilted back its head and howled...

Part II



The howl was the loudest thing Gordon had ever heard. Covering his ears he had to do something...and fast. Relying on instinct, He pulled his knee to his chest and kicked with all his might. To his surprise, the beast reacted. The howl was abruptly interrupted as it bent down backing away slowly to the side of the facility wall. Its eyes dimmed away as it whimpered. Gordon grinned wide as he searched for his gun. Who'd of thought that a mutated werewolf would of had the same sensitive spot as a man? Suddenly he spotted the butt of his gone sticking out of the dirt 5 feet away. With all his might he arose and dove for his shotgun. Just then the moon was blanked in clouds and Gordon missed! Shuffling the dirt around with his hands, Gordon seemed to have located it when he heard the terrifying growl return in the beast...

The bloody eyes light up in fury as it began to charge, arms out claws raised. While on his knees, Gordon grabbed the barrel of the shotgun and swung up with all his might...

The timing couldn't have been more perfect. The werewolf was struck in the bottom chin of the gun and flew, knocking Gordon on his back, 5 feet in the air on its backside careening into a broken down lab truck. Gordon heard glass breaking behind him as he tried to catch his breath. " Doc? Doc it’s me! Where have you been?", Gordon began to think dreamily as he began to pass out. The stress on his body seemed to much for him to bare. He lay there with his left hand still clutching the barrel of the gun, smiling. Suddenly......The ear splitting shrill of the werewolf rippled out like a siren alarm....

Gordon snapped back into himself, as he tried to move but he felt his rib broken. Fighting the pain he leaned onto his side and looked in front of himself. Clearing inside the cluttered mess of the truck he saw the red eyes staring back into him as the beast was making its way out for round two. "Get your ass up Gordon, Get your ass UP!" He commanded himself as he wrestled both hands on the barrel of the gun to pull himself up. Just as he neared his feet, he heard a rumbling noise behind him far off on top of the facility. Glancing behind slowly, he looked up and his eye went wide....

Part III


The roof of the facility was lit up with tiny red eyes, as dingy yellow-blood-stained teeth revealed themselves as glittering saliva dripped down from the mouths onto the side of the facility walls. Hot steaming breath exited their mouths in heavy fashion; squatting down with there heads over the roof, they growled and howled...
Gordon, still staring at them began to slowly back away with fear in his eyes. Dozens of them, all perched on top of the facility, awaken and summoned to help their kin. Just as Gordon began to think up a plan for escape, he heard the beast clear the truck and leap. In flash Gordon was already facing it and fired. “BOOOOM!! Chik. CHik”. “BOOOOM!!”. The beast fell in midair as it slid on its side towards Gordon in slow motion. It gargled and coughed as hot blood spattered out of it mouth. Gordon back away as the beast in a fighting frenzy tried to swipe Gordon legs, tearing at the suit. “CHik. Chik”. "And this is where it ends" BOOOM! Gordon said moments before pulling the trigger. The eyes of the beast slowly began to dim. Its Chest slowly filled and dropped. Its large paw slowly opened and dropped. In its last breaths, whimpering and growling, it dropped its head. Gordon could feel the life leaving him as darkness swallowed its eyes. ARRRUUUUUUUUUU!!!...

Gordon was instantly reminded of the dozen or so beasts on the roof. In unison they howled so loudly, Gordon could feel the sound vibrating in his chest. Still clutching his gun and ever more focus, Gordon began to back up and make a run for it. Suddenly the werewolves began to jump up and down on top of the facility. Their eye boiling red in fiery and the walls vibrated with every jump...

Out of nowhere a lone werewolf leaped out and high into the air. Gordon lifted his shotgun and followed it as it sailed high up over Gordon and landed on top of the Lab truck. The metal crushed beneath its tremendous weight and some remaining glass in the windows flew out. With its back towards Gordon, still crouching from the land, it slowly turned. This one appeared much larger than the now dead werewolf. "Damn this thing must be a full adult" Gordon mumbled still holding his shotgun out...

Turning to its side, the werewolf picked up a foreign object and flung it at Gordon. Gordon barely missed the object as flew and punched a hole in the wall behind him. Just as he looked back to see it hit, he heard the beast leap. He pulled the trigger without looking. “BOOOM!!” turning in time, he saw the bullets hit it. But it kept coming! A mighty paw swiped the gun out of his hands into the air. The gun went off as the muzzle flash lit up the area. “BOOOOOM!” The werewolves on the roof began to howl in anticipation and jumped up and down. Pacing around they snarled as spit flew out. Gordon, now on his back with the breath knocked out of him looked around for the beast. It was gone. Trying to get up, the pain was unbearable his body was breaking down. With all his effort he rolled onto his side to get a better look." Where the **** is he", he thought angry looking around." Show your ****ing self!!!" He yelled in anger, as he punched the dirt. Wrestling himself up he spotted his gun 20 feet away. Staggering towards it, he heard the beast rush out the facility, knocking a hole into the wall. Grabbing the gun up again he cocked and fire...

“RARRRR!!!!!!! BOOOOOMM!!! CHik CHik”. Gordon released all what he had. The beast staggered as it stumbled toward Gordon with a low rumble. Gordon began to panic as he backed away reloading. 20 feet away, 15, 10 the beast neared. Dropping the shotgun, he pulled out his magnum and aimed at the head. “Powwww!!” The bullet pierced the skull of the beast as brain and skull bits blew out onto the facility wall 50 feet back. The beast fell face down into the dirt as hot blood drizzled out in a fine mist as. Catching his breath Gordon fell backwards as he hit the lab truck. A loud deep mumbled roared so loud Gordon's left eardrum burst as he grab his ear in pain...

On top of the roof, the werewolves quieted and backed off whimpering bowing their heads down. A loud thud rattled the roof as a heavier beast began to walk towards the edge. Still holding his ear Gordon tucked his magnum in his boot and crawled over to his half loaded shotgun. Still wincing as blood trickled out of his ear, he quickly loaded. Just as he finished loading he heard silence...Looking up he saw it staring back at him. A werewolf 2 times larger than the previous one stood looking down at him. Its eyes resembling a burning furnace as the roof began to crack and buckle under its weight. Suddenly without warning it leaped...

Gordon had just a few seconds to move, just as the beast landed on top of the truck and instead of a dent, flattened it. A huge musky odor enflamed Gordon's nose as the scent of the beast was caught in the wind. Lifting up the crushed truck, it turned around and snarled at Gordon as it threw it. Gordon dropped his gun and rolled. “BAAAMOOOOOOOMM”. The trucked landed and rolled and smashed in the wall. Gordon pulled out his magnum again and fired. Poow Poow Poow. The shots seemed to do nothing but enrage it. It deeply howled as it charged. Gordon closed his eyes and prayed for the worst........














Suddenly bright headlights plowed through the darkness as it struck the beast. It roared and lifted its arm to cover its eye. It back away slowly confused and dazed. Gordon washed in the blinding light too covered his eyes. "Hello? Hello? Who are you? Help!” Gordon spoke.
"Gordon stay put, we are going to get you out of there." He heard a familiar voice, but it was hard to hear over the vehicle’s rumbling engines and the beast’s roaring voice as it regained its confidence. With anger it charged the lights. In an instant, gunfire lit up in flashes as Gordon witness the skin ripping off as bullets punched through the creature. Still it charged nearing them. Gordon noticed it was about to reach them when blue banding lights whipped out and seized the beast slightly. It struggled as more beams grabbed it waist, arms and legs. Gordon tried to get up, but he felt his legs collapse as he hit the dirt. "Stay down Gordon, I’m coming!" He heard the voice again, then realized it was Alyx’s. Soon he heard the beast sub come to the gunfire as he passed out. The vehicles and gunfire slowly drowned out as he closed his eyes smiling...
