Sara rushed towards the voice, the bullets popping and cracking above her head. She wanted to scream but her own voice had fled.
Hands grabbed her, pulling her down to the floor and she was face-to-face with another being. A boy. One eye only and rotten, rotten teeth.
"Hello there, pretty girl!" The stench of his breath was so strong that she was unable to draw one of her own. Tight-lipped, she merely nodded, her head retreating as far back as possible, tortoise-like.
"You've dodged a bullet today," he smirked, licking his lips.

Instincts of Survival
The mountain air was thinner than Lina remembered. Each breath burned her lungs as she climbed higher along the narrow trail, her boots scraping against loose stones. Pine trees surrounded her like silent guards, their tall shadows stretching across the rocky ground. She had come alone to clear her mind, believing the mountains were safer than the noise of the world below.

ooooh dear. This sounds like the exciting start of an escapade or yarn tbh. But loved it as a drabble in its own right too! Such tight and smooth writing, chum! Impressive!
Yea I'd rather get hit by the bullet if I was her, lol. Loved your drabble!
Out of the frying pan, into the fire (freshly extinguished & turned into ashen mud). Yeah, I recognize that look on her face. I've seen it enough directed toward me, lol.
Yikes! Creepy.....creepy.....creepy....
Oh man, you made my skin crawl. This feels so creepy. You're so good at that!
Yeah, I'd stand back up and take my chances if I were her. Wonderfully wrought, Rachel!
This is great, so wonderfully and grossly descriptive. Well done!
Feeling creepy!
He seems to like her at least! Fantastic 😃
sounds like a date I had once...lol I'd love to hear more of this adventure
From dangerous bullets to dangerous breath. Like having a choice between a quick death and a slow one, lol. Nicely done, Rachel!

This could go so many places, Rachel, but it’s hard to imagine that any of them would be good !
