9. Devolution
The Descent, Neil Marshall 2005
Every second I was consumed with a mixture of fear and curiosity. What would the storm call forth--or was there anything left for it to call?...
If heaven is merciful, it will some day efface from my consciousness the sight that I saw...
The thing came abruptly and unannounced; a demon, ratlike scurrying from pits remote and unimaginable, a hellish panting and stifled grunting, and then from that opening beneath the chimney a burst of multitudinous and leprous life...
...a loathsome night-spawned flood of organic corruption more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and morbidity...to see the stream of them in that faint, intermittent lightning was shocking.
When they had thinned out enough to be glimpsed as separate organisms, I saw that they were dwarfed, deformed...devils or apes - monstrous and diabolic caricatures of the monkey tribe. They were so hideously silent...
