2 - The bird crawls

"Moist..."

I feel wet and hot. I dont like this combination

Hm?

Didn't I just died? I should be drifting at the sea, not on grass. Silly river

Well, if I'm here that means reincarnations are real then. Though I don't know whether this applies to everyone, but who cares

Checking back at my situation, I'm wearing the same clothes as when I died, a black long sleeved jacket, a white undershirt, and deep blue jeans. And they're all wet. Perhaps I was instantly teleported here. Then what about that long, long time in the abyss? I get the feeling Im never getting the answer, so lets just ignore it. Back to the matter at hand!

Now to see if this is Earth.The trees look normal, I think they're oaks, or something like that. The grass beneath me looks the same as back on Earth, ample and lush. The sun is shining its bright light at me. So far so good. Now for some fauna

Just as I thought that, a sudden rustling from a nearby bush came. I lower my stance just to keep me from being instantly tackled to the ground. What to do, what to do, maybe some vocal would help

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Mind coming out?"

Though I don't think its friendly, but maybe, just maybe, there's a slight chance it might want to share it's home and food with me. Who knows, maybe people and animals here are friendly

The bushing gets more frequent, I can feel it's presence almost coming out. And the thing comes out is an animal that looks like a squirrel, but I can only see it's head. Is it shy? Or cautious?

"I won't hurt ya little fella"

Im trying to calm it, but the squirrel's head retracts back. It seems it ran away. Oh well, at least the critters here are small.

Hmm? I hear more rustling from the bush, maybe the squirrel just went back to it's home and got me food to welcome my stay. Maybe.

I don't like the rustling now, I heard a tiny screech from it. I have a bad feeling about this.

I knew it.

A giant, muscular beast with it's mouth smeared with blood comes out. It looks like a male lion standing up with his two hind legs. Ah, his predator eyes caught me.
