It began with a simple question. Can any squid be giant or terrifying enough?
Decades of genetic tampering and cybernetic enhancements later, my dream’s come true. On my yacht a safe distance away, I watch my creation destroying the small town in which I’d so long done my work.
The titanium of it’s exoskeleton shines in the morning sun as men, women and children scream in abject horror, lost in panic.
Some will escape, but not many.
My heart swells with pride at my creation. Truly, I have built a giant, terrifying squid.
But is it giant or terrifying enough?
