Killer Kaiju

Giant Monster Fantasy/Scifi short stories.

The bellow of a throat the size of a metro tunnel. The tidal waves in time with giant steps. Hurricane winds caused by giant wings. The earth shakes with the force of their battles. Cities are flattened under their feet. The kaiju are on the move.

These giant monsters are a staple of fantasy and science fiction, and I'm looking for your story featuring these beasts. There are a couple of rules though. No copyrighted characters. That means no Godzilla and Mothera. Yes, I love them too, but we can't play with other people's characters. No swearing. If you must swear, make it original.
