She froze, mid-step, at the sight of
the muscular black bear and his yellowed set of jagged teeth that glistened in
the fading sunlight. Eyes widening, a string of incoherent thoughts buzzed in
her mind. Droplets of sweat leaked from her pores as the sunlight, peeking
through the branches of the imposing trees near by, continued to raise her body
temperature. Spasms of shaking began to course through her body and she stood
paralyzed by the bear’s gaze.
As is in slow motion, the bear trekked towards her. She
felt her eyelids slide closed to block out the image of the approaching animal.
With tears flooding her eyes, she caught a whiff of the bear’s rancid breath
and strings of tingling pain ran along her ridged spine at his throaty growl.
Wanting this nightmare to end, she allowed the blissful blackness to take hold
of her.
