What does Zia do next?

She cusses a lot

For the next ten minutes, Zia could not stop cussing. She cussed in English. She cussed in Spanish. She even cussed in Spanglish.

"Why in the world did I stop to pick up my purse and nothing else?" she asked herself.

Because there was a dinosaur on the way, she told herself. There was no time to get dressed even if she wanted to. If she had paused long enough to get properly dressed, she would have been run over.

Still. She could have grabbed something to put on later. A dress. Some shoes. A blouse. Even some underwear.

Instead she was outside with absolutely nothing on -- and all her available clothing was buried beneath a pile of rubble that used to be her apartment building.

I guess karma is paying me back for not doing more to stop Maisie Lockwood from releasing all those dinosaurs, she thought.

Then she realized she was not alone. Other female tenants had been **** outside by the dinosaur as well. Some were wearing nightgowns. Others pajamas. Still others were wearing only underwear while a few early birds were wrapped in towels as if they had been taking showers just before the dinosaur arrived. Quite a few women were as naked as Zia. And they all seemed to be as uncomfortable with their condition as Zia was.

Normally Zia would enjoy the view but right then, she was more worried about retrieving her clothes.

Then she heard yet another series of distant thumps. Not as loud as the noises made by the apatosaurus but loud enough. And they were getting closer.

Of course, she thought. A herbivore like the apatosaurus rarely runs like that unless it's running away from something. And there on the horizon, Zia saw what it had been running from.

It was a T-Rex.
