One To One-Hundred

Entry 3. The Jurassic Jungle Part 1

Here I was, in a Forest. What? Oh, I don't know, it looks like every other forest. How am I supposed to know what forest it is? I know, I know, I should have paid more attention in class. You don't have to keep telling me, you know? My arm itches. Oh great, it's a bug bite. How I wish I had bug spray. I closed my eyes and put out my hands. I waited.......

I open my eyes to find......

NOTHING!??

Guess this isn't a dream? Oh come on, it was worth a try. Don't tell me you wouldn't try it! I'm in a jungle with just pajamas. What else am I supposed to do? All of a sudden behind some trees I heard loud noises. Was it people yelling? Maybe someone needs help? Or can help? Going through the trees, I ran towards the direction of the sound. When I was out of the forest, there was plain land. Finally, plain land. Beautiful flowers. Little butterflies. Dinosaurs. Beautiful lakes. Wait! What?! Dinosaurs!?? Okay, I'm definitely dreaming. This is my first time dreaming of dinosaurs though. Its not bad for a dream, it feels very realistic. If this is my dream I should be free to roam right? I started walking and made my way to the little lake. I hope these dinosaurs aren't hungry....

When I got over to the lake, it was even more beautiful then I could've ever imagined. The dinosaurs didn't seem very interested in me. It makes sense, I mean I'm so tiny compared to them they probably just think I'm some big butterfly. I noticed that they were eating the plants at the side of the lake and some that were in the water. I guess I didn't stop to think that they may be herbivores. You don't know what that means? Okay.

Don't look at me, look it up or something. Oh come on, don't be lazy. Fine, okay. Being a herbivore means that they only eat plants and their veggies. Happy now? Good, moving on. Wow, they are really tall. I mean like gigantic tall. One of them starting moving their feet and walking my way. It's going to squash me, I got to move. I started running forward to get out of the way. Wait! Why am I moving forward when I can just get to the side. I stop running and slap myself on the forehead. Wow, I'm just smart, aren't I? Oh, better move. I run over to the side back near the trees and out of the way. Phew... that was close. What do I do now? I looked up at the sky and it was getting darker. It'll get cold soon, I should look for some firewood.

I came back to my spot by the lake after finding wood. The sun was already almost all the way set. It was getting colder and colder. I set all the firewood in one spot. Okay, time to make a fire.

...........

I don't know how! Why did I get all this firewood if I don't know how to make a fire?! Well this sucks. Then I suddenly felt water drop on me. Was there something splashing in the lake. I glanced into the lake and nothing. Another drop of water splashed my head. I looked up and again water. And right into my eye at that. Ow! I have really got to stop doing that. It started raining. All the animals had found their own shelter but I was here. Sitting in the rain hungry, cold, alone, hungry. Did I mention hungry? My stomach growled at me for what seemed like the 5th time already. Can you just be quiet? Just for once? You're embarrassing enough during class. Well at least this grass is sort of comfy, kind of. I started laying down onto the grass. I couldn't see to well and accidentally scratched my arm on the wood. Ow! Could you not? I looked at the side of my arm, which I could barely see. It definitely stung though, but oh well what could I do? I looked up at the sky, it was pitch black out now. There was only the full moon and the stars, again. At least that's some light. I'm tired, its been a long day. "Goodnight," I said to the moon as I closed my eyes. I wished that tomorrow, I would wake up and this would all be a sweet dream. I'll be in my warm, cozy bed with my dog waiting there. I'll put on my slippers and go downstairs for breakfast. Everything will be normal. I hope.
