THE REVENGE FOR LOLA

I jumped from the branch of the acacia tree, which I had been waiting for fifteen minutes. Its black eyes prowling and scanning the bushes. It could perceive my smell but did not know where I’m hiding. The big leaves of the tree I was hiding covered me completely. The forest is very dense and wet. All the hairs on my head became sticky and plastered over my face. The jaguar sniffed the tree and tried climbing the tree. It has located me and made some progress climbing the tree. Jaguars, cougars, panthers, and many more cats are good tree climbers. I was happy I’m also in a dense forest with big trees covering all the landscape, making it even unable to make sunlight shine to the forest floor, making it damp and some parts swampy. I bent down and rested a while in a squatting position. I was exhausted for running for hours, but still, I can’t relent because if I stay in the same position on this tree, I will be cornered by this jaguar. I pulled a twine free from a branch and grabbed it with both hands. I pulled it with all my might to test its strength because it has to be able to carry my whole weight if I am to use it to swing to another tree, but the twine snapped. I quickly freed another twine and tested its strength again, and it broke and did the same to the third, but this time, it didn’t break. By this time, the jaguar was near and had climbed on to the branch next to the one I was standing. I was very fidgeting but had to be brave not to lose my life. I grabbed the strong twine and swinged of the tree, my legs off the tree completely but not on the next tree. By now, I was like a monkey swinging from a tree. As the twine moved towards the branch i left i saw the jaguar has gotten there and as the twine moved towards it it tried snatching me and roared as he did it.just like when a pendulum starts swinging the angle at which it swings to decrease as it moves till it will come to a standstill. I prayed silently inside me that this twine should go near the jaguar’s tree again, but it wasn’t moving nearer to the intended tree of destination. The twines kinetic energy was reducing and gradually halting to a stop. The problem at hand now is like that of the Christian’s biblical prophet ‘Moses and the red sea’ when he and his people are being chased by then reigning King of Egypt. Moses was faced with a dilemma of whether to fight the raging army of pharaoh charging towards them as they go or being drowned by the red sea that’s on their only path to freedom and live. To hang onto the twine and fall when his hands are weak or be pounced on immediately the raging jaguar. He didn’t have much time to think this before he fell to the ground and hurt his legs. The jaguar didn’t waste any time before he jumped on to a lower branch and to the next lower ones to pounce on him before he could say JACK ROBINSON!!!!!!! The jaguar was on him. I woke up with a screaming out of my lungs. It was a dream. sweat trickling down my face and drenching my dirty ripped shirt.i looked around and saw my environment hasn't changed.in a fit of rage, i shouted out with anger. "KILL ME AND GET OVER WITH!!!!!!!".
