Shis The evening sunlight filtered through the dense jungle, occasionally hitting a person's face as they raced through the undergrowth.
Yup... That person was me.
"Huff... Huff..."
My breath was heavy, and each step felt like a huge weight dragging me down, but I couldn't afford to stop...
I pushed past the thick leaves and jumped over a big root sticking out from the ground. I could feel sweat running down my face, and my legs were so tired. But I kept running. I had to. Something—or someone—was chasing me.
The jungle was loud. Birds squawked in the trees. Bugs buzzed by my ears. I even heard a monkey scream in the distance. But the loudest sound was the pounding of my feet on the wet ground... and the sound of branches breaking behind me.
I didn't want to look back. I was too scared to. What if it was a wild animal? What if it was something worse?
I ran faster.
Then, suddenly—CRASH!
