After lying pinned to the canyon for five days, Kai, running out of food and water, thought chances of being found were slim. He leveraged the boulder to make his bones snap, and he then used his pocket knife to cut away his muscles and tendon. Amazingly, he abseiled down a 65 foot wall and walked until hikers found him.

There was an eerie sound. Before the door slowly opened, and nine gargantuan dogs appeared.Their teeth bared, eyeing me before pouncing. I managed to slip away in the nick of time,in that moment I was out the barn doors, I glanced behind me and saw these brutes of animals still chasing me. As I was looking back I saw all the animals shocked and amazed at the events that were happening.

I regained my footing and continued (running faster than ever). They gained on me. One clamped its jaws on my tail. But I whisked away safely.Then I put on an extra spurt and, with a few inches to spare, slipped through a hole in the hedge and was seen no more…

As I stood on the edge of the savage sea
Looking as it crashed against the jagged rocks
Roaring like a bloodthirsty lion
As the sense of panic flooded me
