Fire Power
The night air was cool. The lad waited for the right moment to strike.
‘‘Ugh.’’
He tossed his spear by the river. This was taking forever. Maybe he needed to be more patient.
Tim heard something approaching. He turned to see what it was.
The female deer raised its head and stared at Tim. He turned his head to the side.
Its heart was beating so fast. He tried to search its mind for what was causing it to flee from this part of the woods, but the deer sprinted away in a flash.
Tim bent down to grab his spear. He had picked up an unusual sound coming from the side that the deer had been spotted.
This was not how he had thought his night was going to go. All he wanted was to catch some fish.
He sighed & almost laughed. His fear was making him to hear things.
The second that he turned around to move closer to the river~ something had leaped out from the woods and came charging toward him. Tim’s heart skipped a beat!
He turned around and froze at the sight of the creature. It growled at Tim.
The creature stood facing the lad. It howled and jumped into the air.
Tim quickly bent down and held his spear much tighter in one hand. Then with his other free hand a burst of flames were fired at the creature.
It cried and started running away from Tim. Before it disappeared into the woods- it looked back at the lad and squinted its eyes.
**************************************
Tim rubbed his eyes. This was going to be a long night.
He threw his spear into the water. ‘‘Yes!’’
Ah, he was getting the hang of it. He pulled his spear and smiled seeing his catch.
The fish tossed around trying to escape. Tim snapped his fingers and slowly roasted his meal.
He sunk his teeth into his first caught fresh fish. The night was not too bad now that he had caught his first fish.
This would be a night he would never forget. He’d have to warn the others about the creature that lurked in the woods.
