(NOTE: This does not contain creatures from just the Holocene, when Homo sapiens appeared for the first time 100,000 years ago. As it is stated that the main character, Vibainishi, spotted a serpentine shape in the water at one point in the story, implied to be a Basilosaurus, which went extinct 33.9 million years before modern humans showed up in the fossil record.)
My life was relatively simple, pray, hunt, eat, sleep. But today, my wolf had a different plan, bark at me while I sleep.
Me: Arrow, I'm trying to sleep!
But I did what he "asked" me to, got up, and got to work, starting with my morning prayer to the hunt god, Kuwindwa. After that, the tribe held roll call.
Chieftan: All righty, that's all 31 of us accounted for, do we have any questions?
(Silence)
Chieftan: Ok then-
(Ground starts shaking)
All: WOH!
(Ground stops)
All: Ok-
Shamans: THE END IS NIGH!
(Everyone starts screaming)
Chieftan: (Sigh) Hunter's, please go to your hunting post while I deal with this...
We all arrived at the hunting post were sharpened our spears and gathered our arrows. We headed to where we knew a herd of Curved-Tusks were camping out and sat in hunting position, when all of the sudden...
(Arrows fly over us)
Me: HEY! WATCH WHERE YOUR AIMING!
All: That wasn't us...
Me: What?
(More arrows are fired)
Me: GET THE HECK DOWN!
Once we saw where those guys where, we charged them with spears. The 6 guys retreated, but we still managed to run them down and kill them, all but one...
Guy: Alright, NO MORE PLAYING AROUND!
He started killing us with his bare fists, one by one, until out of the 14 of us that left the camp, only 5 would return.
Chieftan: What happened!
Me: Attack from another tribe, we killed 5 out of the 6 of them, but the other... you can guess what he did.
Chieftan: Alright... To avoid panic, you may rest for the night, that is all, for I must mourn...
4 DAYS LATER
I was hunting, per the usual, when something really odd happened. This huge flightless bird came out of nowhere and mauled a gazelle to death. Naturally, I hide under a log that was close to me and waited until eventually the bird left. I then returned to the tribe, seeing countless worried faces.
Chieftan: Thank Kuwindwa your back! Somethings been killing all the smaller prey. At this rate, the lions and leopards might possibly turn to us as food, it's got us worried sick.
Me: That predator you're talking about is one I just saw. It's some sort of large carnivorous flightless bird, really fast, was able to run down a gazelle.
Chieftan: Alright then... With that said, I declare we will migrate to a place we have never dared to travel too before! The north!
