They were seven humans, locked in a labyrinth with a many-legged monster. In the movies, this would have been enough to doom them. But Janice was determined that they would not be like the people in the movies. They would fight. They did fight. In the chamber of dripping ice, they speared it through the eye with a shaft of rock. Still it came for them. In the halls of silent absolute, they cut away three legs. Still it came for them. In the open room, they ripped its side. Still it came for them. And when it was sufficiently wounded, they tore the last of its flesh into shreds and scattered them wide.
It was a good victory. Against anything else, it might have worked.
But this creature still came for them, without its flesh, and without its mouth it ate them; and they could find nothing to fight.
