Backup Plan
The fearlessness I felt facing bears from my youth has left me, and lying on the ground, slowly bleeding to death, seems likely.
Swallowing hard, I slowly turn around, looking behind me. The rain starts to come down harder, and the wind picks up, rustling the forest and making it hard for me to hear if certain death is lurking closer and closer. A few seconds pass and nothing attacks me. Along with bears, my mind goes to serial killers or psychopaths living in the woods, kidnapping hikers and slowly peeling off their flesh in strips which they dry and eat like beef jerky.
Sometimes having an active imagination is problematic.
