#rex dinosaur story
Text
Idea for an animated kid's movie/comedy.
So there's this dinosaur park that's a thinly veiled Jurassic Park knock-off (call it Cretaceous Island), and it's a bit of a toy story situation, in that the dinosaurs can talk and communicate when the humans aren't looking, mostly at night.
The dinos don't really want to break out since they like their cushy zoo lives and five-star treatment from the staff, so they're willing to get oggled by a bunch of twelve year olds to keep the food coming.
Out main characters are a T-Rex, two raptor sisters, and a wise old triceratops. The raptors are bored with their lives and long for adventure, the triceratops is a wise-old mentor figure, and the T-Rex is lonely since the park won't engineer any other T-Rex's for safety reasons.
Through magical shenanigans they get sent back to the actual Cretaceous period.
Now these pampered genetically engineered dinos have to survive in the savage dinosaur era. To underscore the differences between them, the future dinos are animated as pretty standard cartoon dinosaurs, a la Land Before Time, while the dinosaurs from the past are animated to be as scientifically accurate as possible.
The dinos go through shenanigans, amke friends in the past, evade predators, and eventually make their way home through magic portal stuff, except for the T-Rex who elects to stay behind since he's fallen for a female T-Rex he met in the past. His friends are sad to leave him behind, but go to the present anyway.
Back in the present, the dinos think nothing has really changed, but they find that the exhibit in the visitor's center, previously a single roaring T-Rex skeleton, has been replaced with two T-Rex's, famous for being found fossilized together called "The Deadly Lovers", and its their friend and the mate he found in the past. It ends on the bittersweet note.

TRM Round 1: Fossil Specimen (Stan BHI 3033) vs. Toy Story (Rex)
Fossil Specimen (Stan BHI 3033) – Found in 1987, Stan is one of the most complete T. rex skeletons currently known. While many casts of Stan have been sold around the world, including a skull to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it was recently the subject of controversy when the original fossil was auctioned for $31.8 million to an anonymous buyer. The buyer was later revealed to be the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi.
Toy Story (Rex) – Rex is a good-natured dinosaur toy, the only dinosaur among Andy’s main toys. He is frequently anxious about a variety of situations, but he is particularly concerned about being replaced by a more ferocious dinosaur. Rex can be easily fooled, but he always means well. He later finds a dinosaur friend among Bonnie’s toys in Trixie the Triceratops.

I started my quest to watch 30 movies from the year I was born (1993) last night with a double feature of Rex: A Dinosaur's Story and We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story. I don't know if I have it in me to review every one of these things, but this pair should be of interest.
Rex is required viewing for any Godzilla fan, if only so your jaw can drop at how much Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II ripped it off. (The egg even hatches after hearing a song!) I also didn't expect the lost continent of Mu to have such a big role... or for no one to feed the theropod meat. No wonder he keeps trying to bite people! It's almost overpoweringly sentimental, but the sheer cuteness of the dino lets it get away with a lot. Oh yeah, and it ends with a snowmobile chase right out of a Bond movie.
We're Back is another cautionary tale about trying to adapt picture books into feature-length films. The source material didn't have a villain, and the first half of this movie doesn't either. Professor Screweyes would have thrived in a more focused story. A ringmaster who doesn't understand comedy and just wants to scare people, makes 12-year-olds sign contracts in blood and turns them into monkeys, hypnotizes people and dinosaurs alike with his right eye (which is a screw), and gets eaten bones and all by his crows as soon as his audience deserts him... he's an S-tier villain trapped in a half-assed Jurassic Park cash-in. Now, 1993 saw plenty of Jurassic Park cash-ins, but this one is unusual in that Steven Spielberg produced it. I feel like this character is meant to represent him directing Jurassic Park and giving a generation of kids nightmares about velociraptors, whereas the kindly Captain Neweyes, who gives the dinosaur heroes human intelligence so they can bring joy to kids in the present day, is him producing this movie. (Too bad it bombed.) Alternatively, the two characters are the Master and the Doctor... I mean, the latter does have a time machine.

Essential Avengers: Avengers #295: “... Beggars Would Ride!”
September, 1988
The DOMINATION of DRUID!
T. REX ROBOT??! =D
This issue continues the title from the previous Avengers issue making the whole thing the proverb “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”
Why the hell is that the title?
I’m not unused to Avengers slapping some Culture into the book, either in allegorical titles or just stealing some prose to use as narration.
But what, specifically, does the proverb have to do with this issue and the previous issue?
I’m not going to get overly negative. I’m not. This issue has a robot T. Rex that’s probably a transformers reference. I’m just going to enjoy that.
I’m not even going to let Dr Fucking Druid ruin this for me!
Last times on Avengers: Namor’s wife Marrina turned into a sea monster, caused a lot of property damage and death, and then got stabbed in the head by Namor. She’s dead. Team leader Captain Marvel Monica Rambeau has lost her powers in a wacky mishap when she lightning’d the entire ocean instead of Marrina.
This all works out pretty well for Dr Druid, an asshole. He’s been influenced by Nebula Kang with sex and power fantasy and has been undermining Monica for a while now. But with her out of commission, Druid psychically forces the Avengers to vote him in as new leader of the team. The only dissenter is Thor who nevertheless abides with the majority. But he’s side-eyeing Druid.
Nebula Kang probably has a plan for the Avengers although its unclear what and why.
But if its Nebula, no wonder she wanted to get Monica out of the picture after the way Monica dunked on during her spaceventure.
Anyway, robot dinosaurs.
Despite Marvel making Transformers comics around this time, these are not the Dinobots.
It is a Bad Future where robot dinosaurs rule the Earth.
Some human rebels are fighting back with a futuristic looking tank but they get cut off by a Roboceratops and then worse yet, attacked by a Mechanisaurus Rex!
But just when the rebels are about to scatter, the Mechanisaurus Rex freezes in place and vanishes in a flash of light.
With the big gun Mechanisaurus Rex vanished, the rebels rally and attack the six remaining Dinodroids.
What does this have to do with anything?
Not much.
This just happens to be the Bad Future Nebula Kang sourced an Avengers level threat from. She used Kang technology a stasis bridge to timeaport the Mechanisaurus Rex to modern day Earth-616 Washington DC.
The Mechanisaurus Rex has no idea what just happened but its robot sensors immediately tag everything around it as hostile and its robot mouth laser immediately starts dealing with hostiles.
Over at Hydrobase, the Avengers hold a meeting led by their new, ugh, leader, Dr Druid.
Dr Druid discusses that maybe they should reach out to some reserve members because they’re down to four people and one of them is Black Knight under a super curse.
While he does that, Thor wonders why the hell the other Avengers voted for Druid to be their leader.
Nebula Kang interrupts Dr Druid’s train of thought IN HIS MIND to tell him about the danger in Washington DC that she definitely didn’t cause.
Druid wonders what she’s doing on Earth and she reminds him that she said he would be the savior of Earth as well as her planet. So its fine. Definitely not suspicious.
Anyway, bad shit going down in Washington DC with a robot T. Rex. Shouldn’t Thor specifically go deal with it? Only Thor? Go deal with it? Doesn’t that sound like a good idea??
Apparently, from the outside of this mental conversation, Druid looks like he just kind of zoned out.
Dr Druid: “I have had a clairvoyant vision, and it will serve as a demonstration of why I am fit to lead the Avengers! There is something dangerous beyond belief rampaging through Washington DC! Thor! You must go there at once!”
She-Hulk asks why they don’t go as a team and Dr Druid says no that’s dumb, Thor can handle this danger beyond belief on his own.
He gives Thor a watch with a micro-transmitter in case he needs help and sends him on his way.
Thor does go but he’s still harboring his misgivings.
Thor: “But more and more do I sorely miss the steadfast company of my former teammates -- Captain America, Iron Man, and Hercules. They at least wore their hearts upon their sleeves, spoke their minds openly, and fought as warriors. Less and less do I trust Doctor Druid’s supposed psychic powers. They seem too unpredictable, too unaccountable.”
Meanwhile, for all that meanwhile means anything with Kangs, it’s Kangs.
Beard Kang offers Fred Kang full membership in the Council of Kross-Time Kangs in exchange for knowledge.
Fred Kang proposes trading knowledge for knowledge so Beard Kang admits that one of the purposes of the Council is to obtain the most powerful weapon in ALL THE OMNIVERSE.
An omniverse is obviously much cooler than a multiverse.
What’s more, that specific weapon is a part of the Earth-616 timeline - Fred Kang’s timeline - and that’s the reason why they wanted to recruit him. BUT: to obtain the weapon, they’ll also one day need the Avengers’ help.
So Fred Kang shares some information that the other Kangs don’t know. Nebula Kang has been messing with the contemporary Avengers of that Earth-616 timeline.
Beard Kang realizes that she must be trying to swipe the weapon out from under the Council’s noses and demands that she be found immediately. Meanwhile, several Kangs will go and root around in her room.
Speaking of Nebula Kang, she’s at a tricky part of her scheming. She set up a threat in Washington DC and got Dr Druid to send out only Thor to go fight it.
Now she needs to convince Dr Druid to leave Thor to die against the Mechanisaurus Rex.
Because Thor resisted her and Druid’s mental control and so he must be removed from the situation.
Dr Druid: “Does still more danger threaten?”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “Indeed, my love. But from an unexpected quarter. The danger, especially to you, is Thor. He failed to vote in your favor for chairmanship of the Avengers... he entertains doubts about you now... and what demigod would ever accept the leadership of any mortal? He is your greatest danger.”
Dr Druid: “Yes... yes... I see it clearly now. Thor will never make a good Avenger!”
YOU SURE WERE QUICK TO JUMP TO THAT.
Dr Druid seriously has no moral backbone to push back against Nebula Kang’s manipulations.
Thor arrives on the scene and decides that yes a robot T. Rex looks like a job for SuperThor!
Thor flies right at the Mechanisaurus Rex and hammers it in the neck.
Thor: “Back, machine of evil! Those whom you would destroy are under my protection. To attack them is to attack Thor!”
Mechanisaurus Rex: “PRIORITY TARGET ALERT! TARGET TRACK! TARGET LOCK! FIRE!”
And it blasts Thor out of the sky with a mouth laser.
Leading Thor to conclude
Thor: “By the eye of Odin, ‘tis more to this creature than meets the eye!”
Eyyyyy, I see what you did there!
Since hitting didn’t work, Thor tries his second move: all the lightning.
But it doesn’t leave a scratch.
Since the Mechanisaurus Rex is tough enough to tank Mjolnir and lightning and fast enough to tag Thor in reply... Thor decides that this is actually a job for the Avengers.
Not that he can’t fight this thing. But he’s worried about how much damage the Mechanisaurus Rex will do in the meantime.
Thor: “Whatever it is, yon beast of war has been cunningly wrought! Even now, it turns this way, seeking the son of Odin! Its destruction must be accomplished with utmost speed to minimize the damage to the city! And that may best be done by divers hands! The Avengers must be summoned!”
Back at Hydrobase, She-Hulk is pacing by the meeting table.
Dr Druid is off in one of his sex dream trances, Black Knight can barely move because of the turbo curse, and She-Hulk is antsy.
She’s antsy because Thor was sent off alone and she’s waiting to hear back about it. And she’s antsy because she’s second guessing voting Dr Druid for chairman. She doesn’t know what she was thinking!
(Because it wasn’t HER thinking.)
But the alarm goes off AOOUGAHH! AOOUGAHH! distracting her.
I love a good aoougahh! alarm.
But the alarm means Thor is calling for help.
She-Hulk runs to the Quinjet, calling for the others to assemble to help Thor!
... Except, eh. Why should they bother helping Thor? She-Hulk wonders. She’s-Hulk has never liked him anyway!
Except. These aren’t her thoughts. Dr Druid is putting words in her mouth.
And its so contrary to the spirit of being an Avenger that She(-Hulk) balks at them and decides to go help anyway! Because that’s what Avengers do!
So Druid has to get a little more forceful with her.
He’s forced to give the game away, basically.
Subtlety is out the window.
He mind whammies She-Hulk into sitting down so that the chair can restrain her.
Ummmm hey when the Avengers were building their new headquarters on Hydrobase, who signed off on BONDAGE CHAIRS?
Oh, right, I just remembered that Captain Marvel kept leaving Dr Druid alone to supervise construction.
A bad decision in hindsight. Oops!
Over at Thor, he’s having a tough time without backup and he’s kinda wondering where the hell the Avengers are.
The Mechanisaurus Rex’s blasts keep Thor at a distance so he can’t hit it with a decisive blow. But since its starting to threaten the people of Washington DC, Thor can’t wait for backup.
He summons a storm to distract the Mechanisaurus Rex and closes in so he can smash it in the head with Mjolnir. But it rams into a building to scrape him off. Then tries to use Tail Whip against him while he’s sprawled on the ground.
Thor flies up to the air to get some space but the Mechanisaurus Rex activates FEET JETS to chase.
Thor: “By the falcons of Freya! Yon beast hath the capability of flight! Truly, he is a formidable foe! But so is the son of Odin, god of thunder, enemy of frost giants! And no such construct shall match my speed!”
Thor hammer tosses himself into the Mechanisaurus Rex midair and deals a mighty KERWHACK!
The dinobot falls but suddenly regains flight. Thor was pretty sure he felt the dinobot’s mechanisms break during the mighty KERWHACK so now he knows it can self-repair. And pretty quickly too!
Thor: “No single blow will win the battle! My foe is like a great warrior! So deadly is he that only when he is reduced to atoms will his fighting spirit be stilled forever! So be it! To the death, mine enemy! TO THE DEATH!”
Thor has some rad battle boasts.
MEANWHILE... or whatever you say when its outside of time.
The Kangs search Nebula Kang’s Kang quarters and find a lot of other Kang technology, from Kang Ransom and Kang Kong. There’s some suspicion at first that they’re traitors working with her until Beard Kang finds a book recording all the technology Nebula Kang acquired and from who.
Beard Kang: “We Kangs of the Kross-Time Kang Korps have jealously guarded our respective technologies so that no one member would acquire an unfair advantage over the others. It seems that Kang Nebula has made the acquaintance of any number of our member Kangs... who apparently have made gifts to her of their respective technologies!”
One of the Kangs insists that Nebula Kang stole the technology from him, that he didn’t give it freely but Beard Kang just verbally rolls his eyes that yeah, sure, his guard was down. Really doesn’t matter now!
IN THE CURRENT MEANWHILE, at Hydrobase.
Dr Druid tells She-Hulk to settle down, clearly she can’t break the chair restraints. Because they’re strong. And because he’s using PSYCHIC POWERS to keep her from exerting herself.
She-Hulk asks why the hell Dr Druid is doing this and he answers that HE CAN SEE THE FUCHURE. Only Avengers can stop vague bad thing that’s going to happen.
Black Knight has apparently been paying attention because he decides Dr Druid is nuts and he’s gonna bail.
He worries that his cursed body is too slow to beat Dr Druid before he can psychic Black Knight. So he’s just going to sneak out while Dr Druid is monologuing at She-Hulk.
Unfortunately, cursed Black Knight is clumsy and his exoskeleton audibly scrapes against something, aggroing Dr Druid.
Dr Druid: “Oh, no, Dane! No one leaves without consulting the chairman! Come back! AT ONCE!”
Druid waves his hands and probably uses his PSYCHIC to prevent Black Knight from reaching the ignition switch.
Dr Druid: “We shall save the universe! Whether you want to or not! The Avengers are mine!”
I’m really surprised that Druid tipped his hat so quickly. Then again, I’m glad I don’t have to suffer through obviously evil Druid manipulating the Avengers for longer than I have to.
Then again again, heck, maybe there’s a good if aggravating story here if it was given time to play out.
Eh.
Anyway, She-Hulk kicks Dr Druid’s ass.
Ahhhh. Cathartic.
And it is known that its hard to psychic when your coccyx is shattered. So Dane is able to blast off in a Quinjet.
Nebula Kang appears in a great PLATHAAP! to berate Dr Druid for letting Black Knight get away.
Dr Druid is confused how his manic pixie sex dream girl can be here (and probably also why she swears “in the name of Thanos.”) She swiftly dials back, claims she’s “as real, as warm as you want me to be.”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “And I did promise that I would come to you in your world, didn’t I?”
Dr Druid: “Yes.”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “And that is what you wanted, wasn’t it?”
Dr Druid: “Yes.”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “And with my help, we are going to save the universe.”
Dr Druid: “yes.”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “Now, with the Black Knight gone, thinking all sorts of wrong thoughts... don’t you think you should locate him... and Thor?”
Dr Druid: “yes.”
She zaps him into a trance so he can go astral project or whatever.
She-Hulk puts two and two together and realizes that Blonde Nebula Kang is responsible for the trances Dr Druid has been going into.
Blonde Nebula Kang: “Mystics are always the easiest ones to fool. So many dreams, so little reality. But you’re the one we have to worry about next.”
She-Hulk: “I’m a lawyer, sweetheart. They don’t get much realer than that.”
Blonde Nebula Kang: “You must be kidding, ‘honey.’ All lawyers ever do is split hairs; they wouldn’t know a real barber if they saw one!”
Nebula has a lot of opinions about lawyers apparently.
Anyway, Black Knight’s Quinjet homes in on the beacon in the little watch Dr Druid gave Thor.
(Why give him a real working one? Why not secretly turn off the radio so nobody heard his distress call? Why are you so bad at being the villain, Druid?)
Black Knight sees Thor and the Mechanisaurus Rex grappling in the air and switches the Quinjet to hover.
But he can’t open the hatch to jump out and help. His cursed fingers are too stiff!
Then an art error occurs!
Black Knight says his hand is cutting through the hatch but we see the Ebony Blade doing the cutting.
Anyway, he falls out of the Quinjet. Good decision making, Black Knight.
But he falls right toward the Mechanisaurus Rex.
Black Knight: “There’s no time to think! No time to save myself! For Thor! For England! And Good King Richard!”
Black Knight slices through the Mechanisaurus Rex’s head with the Ebony Blade... but where his body hits the giant robot dinosaur skull, it also cuts. Like his body is sharp like a blade now.
What a weird curse.
Dane plummets into the water below. Can’t tell how high he fell from but he doesn’t of it.
He might have drowned because cursed body too stiff to swim. But Thor swoops down and yanks him from the water pretty quickly.
Black Knight can barely speak after the ordeal but he whispers out that Dr Druid tried to prevent him from coming. And Thor is like ‘I FUCKIN KNEW HE WAS SKETCHY.’
Also, just touching Dane’s arm cuts Thor’s hand so he starts bleeding.
Thor: “Woe to him who wields the Ebony Sword. For I do fear that this is part of its deadly curse made flesh. Dane’s form hath begun to merge with his armor! And now see! He is dangerous to the very touch!”
Thor carries Black Knight to an ambulance but warns them not to touch him.
Don’t know how they’re going to do medicine on him but whatever.
Back at Hydrobase, Dr Druid comes out of his trance and reports what happened. He suspects that Thor will return to Hydrobase and probably demand that they have words.
She-Hulk: “Thor was always too arrogant for my tastes anyway! And too dangerous! We’ll just have to give him a welcome he won’t forget!”
Oh no! Jen, no! Your lawyer brain failed you!
Follow @essential-avengers because this going places. Bad places maybe. But maybe good. Like, reblog, and share your thoughts. I’m lonely down here in the italics.

Ripples
The ground shook. Water rippled.
Aiden, a twelve-year-old kid, froze. Stopped juggling. He gazed into a brackish puddle. Tremors continued to cause ripples. Like a giant’s footsteps, making the ground quake, they grew stronger.
Closer.
The boy rose from where he was kneeling, peeling his gaze off the puddle and its ripples. He stared into a horizon of blue over yellow, where wind fans lazily churned in the distance, and the carcasses of rusty old oil rigs slept.
The tremors neared. More ripples. And with them, a moving silhouette drew closer.
Duck-billed, giant, and saurian. The kid recognized its frame. Though he couldn’t remember the name of this genus, he recognized it from artistic renditions in books on dinosaurs: a Hadrosaurus. This living, breathing specimen of the creature bobbed and weaved between green trees on the ranch.
Closer. Stronger tremors matched the motions of its nearing, matching the rhythm of powerful legs, scaled trunks stomping down onto dry earth. Its gait was lumbering, erratic. Wounded.
Dark fluid dripped from its neck.
Blood dripped from its neck.
The boy fled.
He ran all the way back to the farmhouse. His small feet and bright red shoes thumped up wooden steps onto the porch, and carried him inside, though his weight was nowhere near enough to cause those ground-shaking tremors, nor those ripples in the puddle in the field outside.
The kid’s mother and brother were in the kitchen. Aiden’s mom, busy kneading dough in a chromed bowl on the counter, hummed while Aiden’s little brother, Baz, sat at the table, tapping thumbs away at his portable video game, complete with the bleeps and bloops the small device was continuously producing.
Oblivious.
Both of them were oblivious to the giant lizard approaching their house.
They both looked up when Aiden stormed into the kitchen, gasping for air. His breathless cries for attention made no sense to them.
“Dinosaur! There’s a dinosaur coming here!”
All the while, Aiden felt those tremors—in his blood, in his bones, and in his skull, ever thumping. Closer, ever closer.
“Honey, the dinos have gone extinct, a very, very long time ago,” his mother said with a soft laugh.
Baz’s eyes returned focus to the screen of his game and he continued tapping buttons, then whined. A little musical cue punctuated his complaint when he said, “Aw man, you made me die!”
Aiden shook his head and flailed his arms for attention. To no effect. “That earthquake, don’t you feel it? That’s a dino, it’s coming closer!”
His mother stared into the bowl where she kneaded the dough, wrists sprinkled in flour. She laughed again.
“Aiden, honey, please. That’s probably just another one of those silly companies prospecting for oil out here, drilling. You know?”
Ripples.
Aiden saw them in his mind’s eye. Ripples on the water, brought there by the tremors. By the quaking footsteps. Now… just outside.
“No, it’s not poss-specters, it’s a dinosaur, Mom!” he whined in response.
He turned to see how close the Hadrosaurus had gotten.
Dust rained from the ceiling now. He could feel the tremors in his teeth. A giant silhouette passed by outside the fly door.
Aiden’s mouth agape, he stood there, dumbfounded. Stared.
“That does feel like it’s getting closer, though, dagnabbit,” his mother said with a back turned to the horrific spectacle, with a hint of alarm now entering her tone. “What on Earth are they thinking?”
The dinosaur cast a hulking shadow through the windows of the living room it passed by next. Aiden’s blood curdled. With bated breath, he watched the Hadrosaurus circling around the building.
Thundering footsteps. Glass and ceramics rattled in the kitchen cupboards. Glass was just another liquid, and the ripples now sliced through everything. Rattling, clattering, rumbling, thundering.
His mother muttered, mouth ending as agape as Aiden’s. “What the—”
Quaking. Shaking. Rattling glass.
The portable video game in Baz’s hands emitted another little death tune for another virtual life lost. The nine-year-old looked up at his glass of milk on the table, and the ripples inside of it, now unsteadily shaking—the glass of milk was almost hopping atop the covered table’s surface.
Then the world exploded. Wood cracked, splintered. Thousands of shards of glass flew everywhere, blanketing the area like a rain of sharp shrapnel, and a skeletal architecture groaned under the strain of raw, crushing force. The backside of the farmhouse yawned wide open where a giant had torn through its side, unleashing an explosion of chaos and destruction.
Of screaming. A scream from Aiden’s mother, cut off as mountains of debris crashed down and buried her. An ongoing, blood-curdling scream from Baz, slicing high-pitched through the bedlam of collapsing house. And screams of terror, which Aiden eventually understood were coming from his own throat.
A strange and alien roar of the Hadrosaurus, almost more like an animal whine, drowned out the humans with its deafening cry of anguish.
Powerful legs, thick as tree branches, stomped around, shattering floors and turning the venerable home into a ruin.
Worlds collided as the dinosaur crashed sideways through the building. A piece of second-story floor jutted down like a jagged blade of wood, and nearly decapitated Aiden, cut short by the massive boards getting lodged on other debris. The boy’s voice died with his screams, choked out by gasps, and a growing, silent panic.
Blood splattered everywhere. Whose blood? The dinosaur’s blood? His own? His—
An even greater giant emerged from this chaos, towering over the house, and the Hadrosaurus.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex, as it lived and breathed. A living tower of death. A maw of death. A maw that could swallow Aiden whole, widening to show rows of teeth like knives, stained with blood.
Unlike the wounded Hadrosaurus, the T-Rex did not roar. It…
It sang. An alien, reptilian song, forgotten across the span of billions of years on this Earth. Now brought here through a fissure in time.
The Hadrosaurus whipped around and demolished another wall with its tail—almost decapitating the invisible Aiden in the process. Failing architecture crumbled and collapsed, braking the tail’s momentum, and stopping it from stopping the T-Rex that loomed over them.
The T-Rex lunged and its giant head rammed through twisting wood and metal, tearing through the structure like it was a toy house. Walls and floors groaned again as they bent and wobbled and deformed in every wrong direction, and the Hadrosaurus stumbled through the building’s midst, crashing and staggering out the front door’s side.
The T-Rex’s giant, clawed foot smashed down onto debris—where the boys’ mother was buried?
Baz screamed.
The T-Rex’s reptilian eye widened, and its maw gaped again.
Another lunge from the monolithic beast.
And Baz was gone. Aiden would remember the tiny limb and little red shoe sticking out from between the teeth like a gruesome toothpick. The crunch of breaking bones, a scream first muffled, then falling silent with abruptness.
And the beast chewed twice, and swallowed, and Baz was gone.
Paralyzed, Aiden stayed frozen like a statue, blending into the debris around him like a chameleon.
In the distance, the Hadrosaurus whined again, gaining distance.
Water in the brackish puddle outside continued to ripple with each thundering footstep. Tremors repeated as the prey Hadrosaurus fled, and the predator T-Rex gave chase.
And in the ruins of that farmhouse, a shellshocked Aiden remained. Nestled between the rubble and wreckage. Too terrified to move. Too horrified to grasp how he had lost his mother and brother, too paralyzed to even gasp for the air his lungs were screaming for, holding his breath as if it would help prevent him from being devoured.
Ripples continued. Ripples in the water. The T-Rex stomped away, chasing the Hadrosaurus with single-minded determination. With bloodlust.
Ripples reached through time. A single point, from which the waves moved outwards in every direction, past and future both. Pasts preserved—futures destroyed. Melting back together into the same body of water between every ripple.
Elsewhere, far out in the fields, an Anomaly glittered and gleamed in broad daylight. A hovering, orb-like light scintillated there—a connection between the eras, from which the dinosaurs had arrived.
The T-Rex chased the Hadrosaurus into the old oil fields of Midland.
Aiden fled in the opposite direction. Covered in dust, dirt, and blood—whose blood? His own?
The boy fled from his ruined home.
Hope was the last thing on his mind. Ripples consumed all.
