Project Nemesis (A Kaiju Thriller) - Plot & Excerpts
The sky is thick with haze rising from the damp forest, but last night’s storm has fled and the smoke from the burning lab is far behind us. The forest below stretches to the horizon, the hilly ground rising and falling into the distance like an ocean of pine, frozen in place. The stillness of it all infuriates me. I look back to Collins. “See anything?” “Would have told you if I had,” she says, and I can tell she’s equally frustrated. “Want me to start flying a pattern?” Woodstock asks. He turns his head away from me, looking to the left, and I notice for the first time that he’s got a ponytail. Maybe the nickname has nothing to do with his last name? When I don’t answer, he adds, “The trees are thick in these parts and stand upwards of a hundred feet. We could have flown over King Kong and not seen him.” “Actually, that’s not a bad description,” I say. He cocks his head toward me. “No shit?” “Imagine a hairless, armor-plated Kong with a tail and more feline, yeah.”
