Varan destroys hotel

People began to flee the waterfront in panic as Varan approached. Seawall Boulevard became a mass of running, frightened people.

The monster swooped over the beach, and a rushing wind in its wake blew white sand across the city, carried off beach umbrellas and furniture, and even overturned cars.

Varan slammed against the steel and glass Marriott Hotel with an earsplitting crash. The building literally imploded under the force and weight of the creature's assault. The luxury hotel collapsed, floor upon floor, until nothing stood.

In the center of the rubble, Varan roared and thrashed about angrily, scattering debris and uncovering victims trapped in the building's collapse.

When Varan dug enough of the ruins away, dozens of bodies, and a few survivors, were lying in a heap in the center of the ruined hotel. Some cried out, but most were dead and silent. Varan opened its yawning, slavering mouth and began to feed on its victims.
