The lightning flashed through the sky. I waited for the sound of Thunder to cover my tracks. The sound came and I ran as fast as I could. The sound would stop and I hid. I couldn’t let the bear find me. Of all days to wear cologne, the bear could smell me no matter where I went. More thunder and I ran to my car and locked the doors. The bear smashed open my window and threw me out. I rolled down a hill, the bear caught up and laid on top of me. He just wanted to cuddle.

Running Through the Forest
I was running through the forest, naked and afraid. She tore off my clothes in a hungry rage. My heart was pounding. I passed another abandon cabin. I went inside to hide. The howling continued. There was scratching at the door. How did she know I was here? Could she smell me? I climbed out the window. I ran as fast as I could, but she caught up to me anyway and pounced. My girlfriend went completely ferrel again when she saw the wolf pack. “I love you, baby,” was the last thing I said as she ate me alive.

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"
