Savage Hog

The night was falling and Tony was tired. He had been running, jogging, and power-walking for about an hour and a half straight. Now he turned around and scanned the place he was at: a forest that stretched for miles and miles. He was being pursued by this mechanical beast controlled by some sadistic people who wanted to kill him for sport.
He heard the sound of the machine coming. They called it the spider boar because it had eight legs like a spider and a large metal horn ornament on the front top of its body.
Tony felt that he could run no longer so he stayed where he was and looked around for a hiding place. The only place he could find was behind a giant tree trunk.
The spider boar came stalking through the forest. The mechanical legs of the machine were digging into the soil and when needed, they could climb large trees (but that wasn't needed because the spider boar had an in-built periscope that could rise above the canopy of the forest and scan the area.
Tony's heart was beating hard and fast. There was no way he could escape and soon the spider boar would discover him. He grabbed a fallen tree branch and started running towards the sound of the machine.

Three guys were in the spider boar. The only awareness they had of the outside world was provided by video cameras and an extra array of sensory devices which served their purpose well. They all wore brown jump suits and were fastened into their seats with seat belts. The controls of the spider boar were located in front where the two "pilots" sat. The third person at the back just gave advice and moral support, but if need be, he had small compartment of tools and weapons to his right in the wall. A retractable ladder would descend and he could emerge from the top of the spider boar and be exposed to the outside world. But the situation did not call for that right now.
There was disturbance on one of the spider boar's limbs. The copilot tapped into the sub-boar cameras and saw what was causing it: Tony was using his tree branch in a futile attempt to cause the spider boar to fall. The pilots were amused to see this and maneuvered the metal beast so that it was facing Tony.
Tony was now starring at the front of the spider boar. A thermo gun emerged from the top of the machine and the last thing he saw was a yellow beam of light coming straight at him.
The three people being carried by the spider boar watched the body of their victim disintegrate into hot ash that fell to the ground and died out.

The spider boar had spent thirty minutes traveling from the kill zone to the main highway. As it neared the road, the pilots pushed buttons and flicked switches in order for the transformation process of the spider boar to begin.
Soon a white car came roaring out of the woods and onto the highway. This seemed strange to other cars but they would have been more shocked to know that this car was a killer machine controlled by killers and they had just killed their first victim.
