Chapter 1: Introduction
Henry, a dude from LA, couldn't believe his fuckin' eyes. It was like Jurassic Park 2.0 had come alive right in front of him. Jesus Chris-” He was cut off mid-sentence as Becka shushed him, pointing to a herd of Triceratops lumbering through the trees up ahead. The English countryside, now a prehistoric playground, was full of deadly and wondrous creatures.
But for Henry, Becka, Jason, and Hae-won, the real danger wasn't the dinosaurs - it was each other.
"We have to stay together," Jason said, adjusting his glasses as he looked around at the group. "I know we all just met, but we need to trust each other if we want to survive."
Henry nodded, running a hand through his brown hair. "He's right. We're stronger as a team.
I'm Henry, by the way." Henry extended his hand, and Jason shook it with a firm grip. "I'm Jason. This is Becka and Hae-won."
Becka grinned, pushing her long blonde hair back from her face. "You're American too, right Henry?"
"Yeah, LA born and raised. You're from England, right?"
"Born and raised," she laughed.
Hae-won stepped forward, her dark hair falling in a curtain around her petite face. "I'm from South Korea.
Nice to meet you, Henry," Hae-won said with a small smile. Her blue eyes, so rare for her heritage, sparkled with a mix of curiosity and fear.
Jason cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to their predicament. "We should keep moving. We don't know what else is out there, and we need to find shelter soon."
Henry nodded in agreement, taking the lead as they walked through the ancient terrain. "We can't rule out the possibility of finding other survivors.
I mean, this is England, not some isolated island," Becka chimed in, her voice laced with optimism yet tinged with apprehension.
Henry turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow. "You think there are more people out there? Just floating around in this new dinosaur world?"
She shrugged. "It's possible. I mean, we had a pretty big population before all this happened, right?"
Jason nodded. "She's right.
There had to be more people out there," Jason agreed, with a hint of sadness in his voice. The thought of being separated from his girlfriend, Becka, and her new partner, Hae-won, was almost too much to bear.
They continued their trek, coming across a variety of prehistoric creatures along the way. They stumbled upon a group of Pterosaurs flying overhead, their screeching cries echoing through the ancient skies.
Henry's heart raced as he watched them glide through the air, "Holy crap, look at those things.
They're like pterodactyls from the movies."
Becka, with her quick wit, added: "Well, technically they're called pterosaurs, but yeah, it's like we've stepped into the Jurassic period."
Jason, ever the knowledgeable one, added: "Pterosaurs were actually the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight.
They went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, but clearly, they've made a comeback."
Henry stared in awe, taking in the sight of the majestic creatures soaring through the sky. He couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the prehistoric world that now surrounded them.
Hae-won's thoughts seemed to echo his own. "It's like a dream," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of the pterosaurs' wings.
"A really, really strange and terrifying dream."
Henry turned to look at Hae-won, his eyes softening at the fear he saw in her gaze. "We'll figure it out. All of us, together. It's gonna be okay."
Jason nodded, trying to put on a brave face despite the worry etched into his features. "Yeah. We've got this."
They continued on their journey, the countryside teeming with strange and wondrous sights.
