Hours later,as the sun has gone down,I woke up...
The flame came to mind,where was it!It was lay on the floor,the stick almost burnt out...I needed to move,and fast.
I began sprinting,that was when it occured.
I stopped.I even stopped breathing.It was if someone had drawn a noose tight around my throat.Trying not to panic,I looked down.I could already tell from the weight that this wasn't a snake.It was too small.Relief came to my face.It hadn't slithered,it had crawled.For that single moment I couldn't see it and thought I was illusionating in the heat...I hoped my team had that water.
But I hadn't.It was almost worse than a snake.A centipede,no ordinary one,8 inches in length,it was on my shoe.
It could have killed me in seconds.I did the most stupid thing in my life in a few seconds...I threw it off,expecting it to cling on,it had gone...last thing I could do was let it anywhere near me or my tribe...I crushed it with the ball of my foot.
I ran into the woods and there was the camp!
