 They did it today. They finally destroyed the Great Wall of China. I'm not sure how I feel, but it was n't my decision. It does n't really matter though. I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen?

 I was as surprised as anyone when the thing crawled out of the wall. But the guards have it covered. It does n't pose a threat. Anyway, I think I should describe it a little. The scientific name they gave it is *Lacertilia malus*. Malus for short. It's scaly and red. But small enough to be easily contained. It's an interesting discovery, but I have other things to care about.

 All anyone can talk about is the malus. Who cares about some new species. We're on the brink of space travel, only a few steps away from the future. We do n't need to dwell in the past. An animal that got trapped in a wall is n't going to affect society one bit. Yet all anyone can think about is how pretty the malus is or how fast it's growing or how it might be some new species. I wish that stupid thing had never been discovered.

 The hype about the malus has died down a bit, but it still exists. But why am I complaining about it now, you, nonexistent reader, might ask. Well, they've commissioned me to transport the stupid thing. Well, a job's a job I guess. Whatever, it's not the most dangerous thing I've ever done.

 I just started a job transporting the malus, and I'm glad I can get some alone time. The media attention has been insane. But now that I'm at sea, there's no media to bother me. I made sure of that. So it's just me, the crew, and the malus. To be honest, that thing gives me the creeps. But it's just a feeling. I mean, how much harm could that thing really do?''

 The malus still creeps me out. I ca n't get the feeling that something bad is going to happen out of my head. My crew has been working hard, and the malus has been patiently waiting to arrive at the next location. We're going to arrive at the shore soon, and fortunately, the journey seems to have been blessed. No rough seas or anything. This might be the safest journey yet.

 Something's gone terribly wrong. The malus was n't there. The camera's have disappeared, and no one can find it. The malus was chained up an hour ago, and I fear the worst, it's a dangerous beast, and it could take out my entire crew at once in a fight. It is vital that we find it. Otherwise we could be in grave danger.
