Postponing my walk through the forest, I stood frozen at the sight before me. Coming around a spindly mesquite tree was the biggest T-Rex I’d ever seen! Backing away slowly, I pretended not to see anything. Finding a large boulder to hide behind until he lumbered off, I continued my walk, until the path eventually led to the river.

Scared I would be discovered by more forest monsters, I jumped in the river to float to my destination. Pulling myself to the river’s edge, I scurried out and ran to the hidden cave. There I had stashed a dry loincloth, some fruit, and soon was sitting in front of a crackling fire. I had made it another day.
