…Allison. The others agreed. “So how do we get out of this jungle” said Morrison. “Quickly and quietly” said Art. “We don’t want whatever that was to find us”. The others agreed. They picked a direction and started walking, little knowing that the monster was behind them.
In a semi-deep grotto…
…a shape moved. It only moved because the rising sun sent light into the grotto, creating reflections of light over the wavelets of slightly green, clear water.
