Legion of Doom

Legion Of Doom

It's a gloomy and dark day. The smell of 
human flesh fills the air. And it is un-
bearable. It must be Armageddon; only
three people survived this horrible day
of horror. Dr. Fitzgerald Kirkpatrick, his
wife, and his assistant. He was a re-
owned scientist; he was telling everyone 
about this dreadful event for years. How-
ever; no one believed him; they thought 
he was just some old quack that had gone 
insane.Beyond earth's realm was a legion 
of hideous creatures. They had yellow eyes,
wings, large pointy fangs, and talons.
They are the ones that caused this doom.
Humans are hated and despised by them.
So that got rid of the entire human race,
at least they thought they did. They weren't
able to see Dr. Kirkpatrick because he de-
developed a serum that made him invisible
to their kind. But the serum only lasts for 
72 hours. This is why Dr. Kirkpatrick party 
and of two are in search of a secret vault to 
remain alive; however, they were running 
out of time…………………..............................
