Shadow Man!

A giant shimmery creature on six legs scuttled to its feet, towering over the two men. A couple soldiers nearby concentrated poorly written complaints toward the monster. When a handful of them made contact, their petty straw man arguments were absorbed directly into the monster's galactic looking skin. The creature immediately shredded Mitchell to a thousand pieces. Evans stared at the blood-soaked sand where Mitchell was standing just a moment ago as the monster approached him. Then... Blackness.
