[As the
'monster' attacks Times Square, local government is attempting to evacuate as many people as they can. The army has been called in, but their weapons seem to be doing nothing to the creature but making it angrier. Of course, they don't know that there isn't really anything there to shoot at.
The creature can be seen as far away as the outer boroughs, towering above the skyline. Casualties thus far are unknown, with the numbers fluctuating wildly, since no one knows how many people the creature has 'devoured'. In fact, since it isn't actually hurting a fly on its own, the deaths are all being caused either by the army or panic-induced violence on the ground.]
