Weekly Contest #377
"I know what I saw!" Matt shouts. Danny stares at his brother with deep concern and worry. "And what I saw, as we're being shoved off the damn stupid trail we've been trapped on for a week!" Matt yells at the mix of rangers, social workers and cops. They'd made it out of the forest alive, Danny's got a broken leg, Matt's arm is broken and they're sharing a cocktail of fractures between every other bone, but they're alive.

He shift in their tent, causing the nylon and thin poles to quiver with the movement as Matt rolls over onto his belly and buries his face in his pillow. "Go to bed." "Matty-" "Trick." Matt sighs, using that silly nickname Matt's always used for his younger brother. "Go to bed. The more you freak about a noise in the woods, the more it's gonna scare you.
