The island that the airplane landed was a fairly large island that was home to hundreds, maybe thousands of wild animals. Before the war, this would’ve been an island that would’ve been charged already or at least caught on camera. However, after the war, certain areas of the ocean were covered in a type of electomagnetic wave that caused those parts of the ocean to not be viewable by satelliate. Furthermore, this island was not on any charted maps as the island itself did not exist before the war. Rather it was an island that came to be after all the destruction in the world happened. It was a piece of land that was blasted off from a continent. If there were to be a search party for the down plane, it would be a long time before any rescue party might come.
Realizing this fact, the small boy that was the only surviving person from the plane crash realized that he could not keep wallowing over the death of his parents. For his parents that were no longer alive, as the sole survivor, he had to keep living.
The meal solution he had could only last him so long and before they run out he will have to find a new source of food.
And on the same day the little boy came to this decision and started his exploration of the island, the boy had his first near death experience on the island.
Several hundred feet from the beach the jungle started. While walking towards the forest the boy slowly admire the large trees.
Walking into the jungle, the boy saw many fruits hanging high on the trees and many mushrooms on the floor that he could not judge weather they were eatable or not.
After walking a few minutes into the jungle, the boy suddenly felt goosebumps throuout his body and felt it a bit hard to breath. Looking around he had the feeling that something was watching him but he just couldn’t find what it was.
This feeling was proven correct a few minutes later when a large animal appeared in front of him. This animal had an appearance of a leopard on steroids. It was very much, reaching almost 3 meters tall, which bulging muscles all over its body. On its farce it had large pointy teeth, but perhaps the most frighting part of it was its eyes that gleamed with a trace of intelligence.
Seeing the giant leapord suddenly appeared in front of it, the boy did what anyone would do when they incounter a ferocious animal without a weapon: turn around and run.
As the leopard saw the small boy run away, what appeared to have been a sneer slows formed on its face.
Watching the boy slowly get further away, the leopard decided that it had given the boy enough of a head start and started chasing after it.
Before the boy even realized it, a giant paw with razor sharp claws was descending on it. Simply on instincts, the boy quickly dived to the floor in a diagonal line trying to avoid the paw descending on it. Though the boy succeeded, the tip of claws manatched to leave a small scratch on his back.
Quickly adjusting him self, the boy quickly sped off from the leopard.
As the leopard saw the boy run away again, a laughing expression slowly emerged on its face.
Again, as it saw the boy get a little further away from it, the leopard moved and quickly caught up to the boy with its left paw coming down on the boy again; only for the boy to once again dodge the pawn while only sustaining a small scratch on its back.
As the boy started running away again, he turned his head around to look at that leopard, and it was at that moment that he saw the leopard making what seemed to have been a smirk.
And then the boy realized it. It was not not that he dodged the leopards paw, but rather that the leopard had let him dodge it. It was treating him as a toy, something that the leopard could slowly take his time and enjoy hunting.
When the boy stared exploring the jungle, he had not run into anything initially, so he had walked further and further into the jungle with only taking a small break every now and then to observe his surroundings.
Looking ahead of him, the boy realized that even if he ran at full strength, it would still take him at least 5 minutes to reach the emergency room in the cabin. Reaching that room was his only hope of surviving against the leopard, as the leopard would not be able to destroy the defense mechanism of the room.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
If the leopard had hunted him at full strength right from the beginning, then he would have no hope at all of reaching the cabin. However now that the leopard was essentially playing with him, he had a slim chance of reaching the cabin. That’s why although he felt despair when he saw the smirk on the leopards face, instinctively he knew that using the leopards play fullness he would have a small chance at survival.
For the next 3 minutes, a small play slowly played out every few feet’s between a boy and the leopard. The boy would get a little distance from the leopard, and then the leopard would immediately reach the boy and attack him only to have the boy dodge at the last minute while only sustaining a new scratch somewhere in his body.
As the boy got closer and closer to the exit, a feeling of excitement and hope slowly krepr into him. As soon as he left the forest is chances of survival would go up a lot since the cabin was fairly close to the forest.
With each escape from death the boy was slowly calculating how far the leopard would let him get away before initiating a new round of can you dodge this.
Through experiencing dozens of close call he had found that the leopard would generally only let him get away some two to three hundred feet away from it. From the exit of the forest to the cabin there was less than two hundred feet. As long as he dodge once right after he left the forest or at least very near the exit, he would have a chance to survive as long as he made it to the cabin before the leopard started a new round of the game.
That was why when he finally saw the exit, a smile crept into his face. And it was this very smile that triggered the leopard to finally end the game.
During the last few rounds of the game, as the boy kept riding him, the look of despair on the boy slowly slipped away and a trace of hope slowly emerged on it.
Whenever the leopard played this game with other prey in the forest, this part was always his favorite. Just like the boy, a lot of his other prey in the forest would slowly gain hope of survival after they had dodge his attacks a few times.
When he decided to end the game and kill his prey, a look of absolute despair will appear on its preys face after they had experience the hope of survival. Seeing his preys face go from hope to despair once they realized they truly had no chance of escape brought him a sense of euphoria that he could never find.
That was why whenever he saw his prey slowly gain hope when he played this game, he became extremely happy and pleased with himself.
However, oddly enough that sense of happiness did not come to him when he saw the look of hope that had appeared on his new prey. And when he saw that smile emerge on his preys face when it saw the exit, it’s instants told him that if he continued playing this game, somehow his prey might escape him.
As soon as this though cross its mind, the leopard became enraged and decided to end this game immediately.
Once the leopard had this change, the smile on the boys face disappeared. An oppressive might suddenly descended on the boy. Once the boy felt this might, a sense of death suddenly overwhelmed the boy. He realized that if he did not dodge the leopard this team he would truly die.
Using all his strength in his body, the boy lept forward in an attempt to survive.
Blood suddently erupted from the boy.
Though the boy had somehow dodge the worse of the leopards attack, the leopards claw had still reach his back.
On his back, three deep claw marks emerged from his right shoulder stretching all the way down to his left hip.
Though the wound was deep, luckily the claw itself was not able to reach the boys spine, and aside from his shoulder that felt broken, the boy did not feel any other bones broken.
Slowly attempting to get up from the ground where he landed after his leap, and the push from the leopards strike, the boy turned his head to see the enraged leopard as it was about to rush towards him again.
It was at that moment that the leopard was about to rush at him that something suddenly fell from above the leopard, high into the tree. Seeing something falling towards him, the leopard suddenly lept backwards as it felt that if it dared to continue moving forward it would die.
And right in front of where the leopard was something suddently crashed into the ground, shaking the entire earth for hundreds of feet and raising a cloud of dust.
As the dust was slowly blown away by the wind, the boy saw that what had fallen from the tree was a giant, four armed silver gorilla. This gorrilla was even bigger than the leopard, and on two of its muscular arms it was holding a wooden log.
Looking at the face of the gorilla, the boy noticed that the gorilla had a pleased smile on its face, the smile a person would typically have when a plan works out great.
Looking pass the gorilla, the boy noticed that aside from an enraged look in its face, the leopard was now also wincing in pain. Though he had dodge the falling gorilla at the last moment, it seemed the gorilla had still hit it wit the log it was holding in its arms.
Looking between the leopard and the gorilla, the boy came to the realization that just as the leopard had treated him as prey, the gorilla had also treated it him as bait to draw out the leopard.
As the leopard saw the gorilla standing in its way, it gave an enraged howl as it turn around and ran away from it. It would escape today and then come looking for the gorilla once it had recover from its wounds.
Watching the leopard run away, the gorilla gave a pleased laugh as it ran after it.
Watching as the leopard ran away from the gorilla, a sense of powerless in his body slowly descended on the boy.
With sheer will power, the boy ignored the pain he was feeling and slowly got up. He knew that if he stayed here he would surely die, that his only chance of survival was reaching the cabin.
In an almost unconscious state, the boy slowly finished walking out of the forest and walking towards the cabin......
