Weekly Contest #317
The Shaman watched with wide eyes as leaves were thrown from the branches above. Two beasts were quaking the ground before him with their combat, splattering red across the green and brown of the forest floor. One of them, a wolf, lunged for the Shaman’s body, eager to taste his flesh, foaming at the mouth and snapping his jaws. The other monster he couldn’t see as clearly.

Three whole years of peace and utter bliss has lulled me into a state of confusion. I should’ve known they’d never stop. So now I have to remember why I’m here. The vibrations of car engines soothe the raging space pilot in me, that’s one of the main reasons. Gyrating through the mysterious wonder of space and stars above can always be interesting, but I’ve only ever been so ...
