Something There
Jim’s heart raced and his hands began to sweat. He felt the adrenaline kicking in as his body readied itself to fight or flee. He could feel something watching him from the trees.
He raised his arms over his head and yelled, trying to make himself look bigger. Suddenly, there was a rustle nearby and something emerged. He made eye contact for a brief moment, then it scrambled away. Something about this whole encounter was just… off.
