I had an idea. I'll make one change with this idea - the creature obeys the laws of conservation of mass and is six meters/twenty feet in height from beginning to end.

This replaces the last paragraph.

Everyone found a candle and sat, holding the lit candle in one hand and with the other hand on the shoulder of the person next to them. In unison, they chanted and prayed together. The creature remained calm, barely twitching.

Then the Earth shook and cleaved. With a rumble and a roar, an ocher colossus with the face and horns of a bull and wicked claws dug its way to the surface. It climbed out and let loose a blinding, blood curdling roar.

The creature woke instantly. Everyone dropped their candles and ran as the thing stood. It stumbled away from the gigantic horror. The mega-monster followed after the creature, crushing cars, tanks and people who got in the way.

When the horrid giant caught the escaping creature, it roared and turned the creature over its knee and gave it three cracks across its bottom. Then they both disappeared down the hole. Everything was quiet.

An hour later, an immense hand poked out of the hole and casually tossed out a boulder. One side of the rock was marked with scratches. An expert from the University of Alberta pronounced that it was a message in an ancient script called Linear B. He translated it as follows.

"We're sorry, but our little cutey girl got away from us.

Mom"
