The creature seemed to not notice Vlad, having only just appeared and then stopped. It was obviously blind, but probably had good hearing. Regardless of what it was, the sharp teeth, elongated arms and immense height made it a thoroughly intimidating thing to behold.
Vlad tried not looking at the monster, keeping his gaze low when it looked at him, breathing slowly and audibly, wondering what to do. He looked around for a rock or something, anything, but had nothing, not even a cellphone. He unzipped his hoody, feeling his blood pressure rise and sweat forming under the arms, the zip audibly sounding.
“Some big monkey escaped for the zoo.” Vlad said to himself, trying to minimize superstition, and looked around for something.
Unable to find anything suitable to use as a projectile, and now scared and angry at the same time, he could not think straight, wanting to run, but at the same time, unable to understand the situation. He did not know whether he was dreaming or what.
“Am I dreaming or what?” Vlad asked himself, voice slightly echoing, “This had to be dream!” He continued, and then did the most logical thing: without thinking, he harked up mucous from the back of his throat and spat at the creature, to see if that'd do anything.
The hunk of yuckiness seemed to be flying towards one of the creature's eye sockets; Vlad stood where he was upright, loosely but tall, wondering what was going to happen.
