The mist is getting closer

You put your good things into the boat. Then you decide you need to go back for a second haul. What if someone takes your complete collection of 1970's playboy magazines or your fishing supplies. You comb through your home boxing up all sorts of things you cannot do without. When you start hauling them to the car the mist is settling in fast. It smells like damp chemicals in a rain forest lab. Its foggy as hell and getting thicker. Within minutes you will not be able to see you hand in front of your face. You decide to go ahead and take the boat blindly into the water to get away from it. Hauling your last armload of personal treasures you walk back almost blindly. You see the rock rocking as something dark and scaly rises from the waters to slither reptile like into your rented boat. Its hard to see it in the mist but its about three feet long. What the fuck could that be you wonder. You don't know of any animals like that living near the A C shore. You kick the boat and yell at it, hoping the scare it off. The thing leaps at you. You react fast, blocking it with your arms. The thing has rough sharp scales that cut your hands as you deflect it away from you and into the water it a loud splash. You caught of glimpse of nasty gray dirty teeth. You are running and you hear the thing slithering after you and making a strange warbling cry. You outrun it, the beast is not so good on dry land, but you trip over and rock and smack the beach hard. You hit your head against a rock and almost black out. You get up quickly and rapid walk on. You can't hear the animal behind you anymore and the fog is even thicker now. You have no idea where you home is at from here.
