I'm on the annual Myrtle Beach vacay (if you know, you know). Robert is with us. The beach looks exactly how I remember it from the last time I went. The only difference is a wooden lattice fence that lines the dunes facing our usual hotel. There are only a few exits which is weird considering how many people there are. I worry what would happen in an emergency. Everyone has their stuff back to the lattice fences because the tide is so high. I plop our things next to Marie, Otis, and Michelle. I remark on the tide but Marie and Otis don't seem to concerned about it. They tell me it has been like this that past couple of years (they go every year so I'd believe them).
Michelle wants to go in the ocean but Robert doesn't want to at all (very on brand for him tbh). I decide to let him chill on the beach while Michelle and I head in for the waves. The waves are MASSIVE. Not tsunami big but big enough to where they start crashing farther up on the beach. Michelle and I run towards our stuff to keep it from getting swept away. Our cousin AW points out that there are lot of large fish washing up. She points and yells "Shark!" We see several small fins but they're weirdly shaped and very small. Otis says in a patronizing tone "that's not a shark." As the water rushes back towards the ocean for another wave, I see that it is in fact a very large shark. I take AW's side and tells Otis that we need to leave ASAP or we'll get bit.
Suddenly, a huge octopus emerges from the sea! It's big and red and kind of reminds me of the octopus from the Rainbow Falls mini golf course (I must have really had Myrtle Beach on my brain). Robert and I immediately start running away. Otis says "It's just an octopus." I tell him that we've seen River Monsters and know what they're capable of (if you've seen THAT episode, you know). Robert and I hide behind the lattice fence to make an escape plan. I hear an ominous voice male voice whisper "I will find you and I will kill you. This town is ours." We realize the octopus is communicating with us through its mind!
There is a swamp to the left of us and another octopus emerges from it. We start running in the opposite direction towards our hotel.
"Good luck running that way. There's a barbed wire fence. You can't outrun us," the octopus threatens
The barbed wire fence is indeed there but thankfully the gates are partially open. We slip through and run down the street. The farther we get away from the ocean, the better!
