She sat down with her notebook in her hand, her mind wandering to faraway

places. She paused and considered all that had happened. It hadn't gone as
expected. When the day began she thought it was going to be a bad one, but as she
sat recalling the day's events to write them down, she had to admit, it had been a
rather marvelous day.
A long black shadow slid across the pavement near their feet and the five
Venusians, very much startled, looked overhead. They were barely in time to see the
huge gray form of the carnivore before it vanished behind a sign atop a nearby
building which bore the mystifying information "Pepsi-Cola."
Time is all relative based on age and experience. When you are a child an hour
is a long time to wait but a very short time when that’s all the time you are
allowed on your iPad. As a teenager time goes faster the more deadlines you have
and the more you procrastinate. As a young adult, you think you have forever to
live and don’t appreciate the time you spend with others. As a middle-aged adult,
time flies by as you watch your children grow up. And finally, as you get old and
you have fewer responsibilities and fewer demands on you, time slows. You
appreciate each day and are thankful you are alive. An hour is the same amount of
time for everyone yet it can feel so different in how it goes by.
Spending time at national parks can be an exciting adventure, but this wasn't
the type of excitement she was hoping to experience. As she contemplated the
situation she found herself in, she knew she'd gotten herself in a little more than
she bargained for. It wasn't often that she found herself in a tree staring down at
a pack of wolves that were looking to make her their next meal.
The spot was perfect for camouflage. At least that's what she thought when she
picked the spot. She couldn't imagine that anyone would ever be able to see her in
these surroundings. So there she sat, confident that she was hidden from the world
and safe from danger. Unfortunately, she had not anticipated that others may be
looking upon her from other angles, and now they were stealthily descending toward
her hiding spot.
