It stays there for years with the vegetation growing over it, largely hiding it from view until a couple of hunters stumble across it. One shoots it in the left eye with a rifle up close, which sets off some reanimation mechanism that lasts for a few moments. Enough time for the giant to pick up the hunter in its mechanical hand and crush him to death. The other hunter runs away while the robot makes some horrible mechanical laugh mixed with the gurgling sound of his friend's remains being swallowed. The chest cavity churns gears and spinning blades that act like a blender, liquifying the hunter and draining it into the fuel tank. As the blood sucks into the tank, the robot comes back to life, rips out of the vines and tree limbs, stands upright and laughs that horrible mechanical laugh.Aeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743156867815095055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-21033327978191068032009-06-15T08:17:13.561-07:002009-06-15T08:17:13.561-07:00I think it's important to hit on multiple leve...I think it's important to hit on multiple levels, you gotta pull in the dumb-asses with certain things & then blow everyone away with the real shit afterwards. That way you get to fuck with the minds of people who aren't already looking for your brand of weirdness & just want a goody horror movie. OR... not.SEANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236717038521645585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-27465015829872875512009-06-15T07:54:35.296-07:002009-06-15T07:54:35.296-07:00Thanks Fufu, I was imagining this taking place in ...Thanks Fufu, I was imagining this taking place in the 80's originally with the factory going out in the seventies. For whatever reason I shifted to the nineties and zeroes. I think I'm going to revert it to the eighties. <br /><br />I don't know why but whenever I want to write short horror fiction I want it to take place in the eighties.Aeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743156867815095055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-4547689103510451362009-06-15T03:40:24.473-07:002009-06-15T03:40:24.473-07:00Love the setting Aeron.

The beginning's a bit too much like an eighties horror flick though IMHO, bored teenagers looking for dope and all.<br />But then the giant mechanical hand just lying there in the middle of the hall - that's the visionary, <i>Alfreyesque</i> stuff.<br />The flash-back with the opened casket and screaming grandmother is great, too.Human Molluskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276070138056162278noreply@blogger.com
