Running In Fear / Fear


I am walking down the usual bumpy path down to the drinking place. As I reach it I hear a sound; It sounded like splashing. Then I realized I smelled something familiar but frightening with my little black nose. Suddenly I saw it, my round eyes widened with fear, as I realized it was a predator; The Fuzzy Black Beast! I started running as fast as my four skinny legs could take me. Then I heard it crashing after me, that's when I realized I wasn't going to make it to the long shiny spiked tree. But I still ran with all my might, for the fear of death kept me going. Then I noticed I couldn't hear the Fuzzy Black Beast anymore. I stopped and looked around and noticed he was laying on the ground motionless. I suddenly realized he had left me. I relaxed and laid down taking a deep breath and fell into an eternal sleep.
