Sitting near the corner not taking my eyes off of the wild animal that was passing by, I waited anxiously for it to leave. I was obviously unfit to fight something with such protection on it. There was no way that even both the predator and myself would have a chance at taking it since I am too small and he is way to injured to even be able to move properly. The growling in my stomach grew and my gut felt as if it was caving in due to hunger. There was nothing around to snack on since I found a place that was damn near rotted away. The atmosphere all around grew to be very uncomfortable and the air was moving with mid to high speeds. It seemed to me that the storm may have been picking up. That would be the least of our problems if the bore like creature stayed over here. "Not worth it" he said as I was ready to defend against the creature. I knew better to not have taken his advice since he was native to this place and had a vast knowledge of it. I began to slowly lower my weapon and release my tension from on the trigger. I didn't want to accidentally fire at the creature and doom us both, well at least myself for sure. As time went by, I was only able to think about food since I felt as if I was going to die from starvation. Not only that, the storm here was unforgivable. As I thought and thought about what to eat, I quickly came to the realization that the only thing for me to eat was fruit since it was the least likely to be poisonous. But then I thought, "How would I know if the fruit isn't poisonous?" This was going through my mind continuously for around 12 1/2 minutes. Before I quickly noticed that the bore like creature was almost out of sight from the entrance of the hollow in the tree. The smell was still easily distinguished and seemed to be even closer. This began to get annoying.
