As
the sun sinks below the horizon, you tear your eyes away from the wildebeest
herd long enough to watch it. A sudden realization rips through you. You are
alone, at dusk, in the middle of the Kenyan wild. The distant cackling of a
hyena sends shivers up your spine. What are you to do? Still pondering this
question, you begin to walk, swinging your flashlight back and forth along the
trail in front of you. A mist settles over the savanna. The sounds of the savage
African wilderness hold you fearfully to the path before you. Ahead is an outcropping
of rocks. A dim light shines forth from a low cave. Surely you are saved, for
it must be some camper or native! You walk slowly toward the light. The yowl
of some great wild cat sounds in the distance, then again, seemingly closer
then before. The mist congeals around you, splitting apart the eerie light emanating
from the cave. You shudder. Spooky. The rumbling of thunder startles you. You
have a choice to make. Do you enter the cave and risk whatever beast or fierce
animal may reside within? Or do you turn the other way and attempt to backtrack
the trail back to your camp?
