The government's chief scientist looked at the creature through the bars of the cage. It sat there, looking back at him. The chief scientist was there because the president had sent him to investigate. The President was taking a real interest in “the monster case”.


It was really a quite abnormal fellow. Even the internet did not provide information about this creature. Scientists from all over the world had come to examine this mysterious creature. It had big button-like eyes. The color of the body was light orange and it had way too sharp claws. It was said to be a monster because of its teeth. They were razor-sharp and when it opened its mouth, one could see a beast. Its eyes invitingly say that it's longing to eat you and having a wonderful feast.


It had poisonous glands in its mouth. "It wasn’t poison," the scientists said, "whatever it might be, if released into the wild, it’s going to be a really great disaster as once those carnivorous teeth go inside the victim’s body-you cannot, at any cost stop the poor victim from being dead."


By analyzing this information, they decided to call it 'Morrosco'-as 'muscular' and 'strong' in Spanish.


One of the top scientists, Mr. Brown was in charge of studying and carrying research on the Morrosco. Another eminent scientist, Mr. Vincent was persuading everyone to kill the Morrosco as it can easily be set free and can be harmful.


The president's skin tightened, even though he had full security from which you could get goosebumps. He told Mr. Vincent not to worry as everything was under control. Mr. Vincent was working more on the Morrosco as compared to the rest of the world as his office was nearest to the creature.


Mr. Vincent was very upset as no one was listening to him, not even Mr. Brown. In the world of depression, he once smashed his head a little harder in the room with Morrosco. He came back to his senses after a while, but not fully. He could not control his balance and he unknowingly unlocked Morrosco’s cage.


Even before people found Mr. Vincent, Morrosco had escaped. Morrosco was on the loose.


Not after long time, there came multiple calls about people being dead. Even there wasn’t plenty of security as some had gone to the places where the people were reported dead, the police even thought that there must be a person who is taking advantage of the Morrosco set loose and is killing people as two to three calls cannot come at once.


Finally, they spotted Morrosco. It was heading towards a fairground. All the security and scientists were chasing it and were bound to kill the Morrosco as it was rapidly eating up people. Suddenly, Mr. Brown informed the team that they should hit the Morrosco in its leg so that it wouldn't be killed and they can know more about this creature.


All nodded fearfully. They were divided into two teams. The first would stay right there and It would to hide under the bushes and try to injure the Morrosco. Everyone knew it was risky, but in the absence of other ideas, this was their best bet. Their souls had nothing but hope and courage in them. One of the men raised his gun from the second team to injure the Morrosco. It was fast but the man finally got the Morrosco’s leg as the target as it was right in front of him. Meanwhile, a member from the first team almost miss the shot of the Morrosco’s leg. Instead, it went straight ahead at the man of the second team. The man ducked, and was saved, but accidentally shot Morrosco right through the heart. The plan of injuring the Morrosco had been foiled.


Morrosco was dead.


Finally, they understood that the Morrosco was not fit to be in this world as it was causing multiple deaths and no one, on the other hand, knew if there are more of the Morrosco’s or they are extinct. The president was also sad as he didn't get the answer to this question. The scientists are still working on it, but it remains a mystery to date.
