Adventure

Hunted
It was growing very dark. As the three of us sat by the small fire, an owl called out with a gentle, within the still of the night, hoo. I looked up, trying to see if I could see it, hidden in the treeline, but alas it was nowhere to be seen in the dark. I glanced over at my boyfriend Noah. He had just cracked open another beer. I groaned internally as I was not looking forward to seeing him as a hungover mess in the morning. The orange flames of the fire flickered. The owl let out another lone cry, hoo.

A PUBG STORY: First Jump pt.2
"So where do you think we'll be jumping this season?" Mike asked us as if we'd have an exact answer for him. Mike Fumail was a bright-eyed kid fresh out of the academy like Keshawn and me. I gotta admit that even though he asked us a ton of questions we didn't know the answers to, it was tough not to like the kid... What can I say, he grew on you.

To Catch the Owl
What constitutes someone as dead? Is it when dirt covers them or when flames take their body? Is it when their blood stops flowing? Is it when the thoughts and beliefs they once held no longer exist? If a person was known for their smile, were they still that person if they no longer smiled?

The Gift
The little blonde looked at Shandon with a stunned expression. "Deal?" she blurted out incredulously, "You don't even know what I want yet? I know I said I'd give you the locket but..." she stopped and shook her head. "Well," she started more calmly, "It must be important to you". She paused sighing, then looking up at Shandon she continued, "Tell you what, I won't hold you to this deal until you know what I'm after, why don't we sit and have a chat. Then you can make an informed decision, although you look like your mind is already made up. "

He would just have to take her somewhere to hide her, before returning to see if his family got out safely. He was about to dart away from the hole in the wall, when he was forced to stop, by the people running towards his location.

Fiery, bright red hues of light encompass the entirety of the room. My dark, brown skin feels lit ablaze as I fall down to my knees. My fingers dig into the tops of my thighs and yet I feel nothing.
