it was a big mistake. The bear was growling loudly he was breathing in my face the warm breath
hit me like a punch. A paw came flying towards my chest. His long, sharp, curved talon like
claws scraped me, my coat was shredded and feathers came flying out. I found myself catapulting
through the sky, I landed on the snow with a very painful thud. My body froze with fear. The
beast prowled over my head where it growled and nudged me. I played dead. The bear was satisfied
that I was no longer a threat he grunted and slowly staggered away.
After the attack I was determined to get to safety I was also a lot more aware of my
surroundings and I wasn’t in my own little world anymore. My mind was filled with fear I did not
want to get eaten by the beast. That was when I saw the tree and realized it was my only hope. I
ran straight to the tree and lunged up desperate to grab a branch. I failed, one time, two times,
three, four, my mind filled with despair I tried one last time. Finally, I made it I swung myself up
and repeated the process. I reached the top of the tree just before I collapsed. My eyes were slowly
closing but then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I span around anxious to have a
look it seemed to be a fire in the distance. As I looked closer I saw that there were tents and people
that is when it hit me this was my camp I groaned.
What a reckless and self-absorbed boy I am!
