Ethan in Greenhorn

541 Words
Ethan woke up on the shores of Greenhorn, he's starring into the rays of the sun thinking he was dying as walking through the white light. Ethan screamed realising the burning sensation on his face instead of paradise bliss. He rolled on his right, only to crush his rib on a hard sea shell 'holy prickles',he exclaimed in pain as he staggered up. What is this place? He stuttered softly. The last thing he remembered was sitting in his chair, reading a book titled 'greenhorn' which his grandfather gave him , hello! He yelled facing the vast blue sea and yelled again facing the mountain few metres from the shore. A tiny little fox like creature suddenly appeared at his right with a blend of beautiful grenish blue eyes, Ethan thought it was cute, bending down to touch the creature. Grabbing the sleeves of Ethan's sweater while growling like a dog the creature wasn't so cute after all. Shaking off the little guy to the ground, Ethan heads for the sea as though he knew the creature hates water, paddling through the water with his big boots as he tried to get away from the creature that is already petching on his bottom, bitting through his thick faded jeans . Pouncing backwards ,the creature retreats shaking off the water on it's grey fluffy fur climbing the mountains . Ethan takes a deep sigh of sweet relief as he watched the creature climb up the green mountain covered with moss. He soon realized a coming wave and struggles to swim to shore only to be swept by the wave close to shore and back again into the sea as he yelled a long frustrating 'no' .Finally making it to shore he quickly made his way up to the mountain, placing his hands in between cracks and holes. This is beautiful said Ethan with a mixture of grin and frustration. With the rumbling in his stomach which Ethan calls stomach thunder, he must find food. After walking for two hours he fell on the ground under a rock breathing heavily, almost fallen asleep, he is awaken by a familiar growl. His old buddy on the shore has found him and this time water was miles away. Ethan makes a run for the thick bushes which would be a bad idea if he was thinking. Discovering he has lost the creature ,he finds himself in a field with berries, not knowing what they were, he grabbed as much as his hands could and mumbled some while stashing the rest into his pocket. Refreshed, he made his way through the bushes, he meets his nemesis caught in a tree root and howling for help. Ethan tries to walk away but looking into those sad greenish blue eyes he took a piece of wood and tilted the root and freed the creature. Hauling over Ethan's shoulder ,the two became friends. Ethan soon arrives a small settlement with wierd looking people, hiding behind the trees, he blacked out. Ethan opens his eyes, hanging over a giant pot with boiling water. What is this place ? an old man with yellow teeth cackled with a reply ' this is Greenhorn'. Rightly so! said Ethan for they were amazingly primitive.
