The+Hunter(7)

The creature stared at the hunter. The hunter stood his ground, waiting for the animal to make the first movie. It did. It lunged at him, slowly. Slower than the hunter expected it to. The hunter flicked the lighter on.

The creature stopped in its tracks. The hunter's plan was effective. The creature might not have been so different from others after all...

The hunter panicked...He had not thought about how he could get away. Without thinking, he took his finger off of the lighter and ran. The creature must not have been following him because he didnt hear it behind him. He took advantage of this, and stopped to light an isolated bush on fire. This would last about 30 minutes. 30 minutes. 30 minutes of time for him to get away from that creature. He had to find a place to go...again.

He kept running. Surely there was somewhere he could go that could hide him well enough for the animal to not follow him. Or maybe he could run for the hill hat he came through. If he could even find it. Which should he go for? The hill? Or salvation?

=============================== suddenly, it was completely silent, nothing was moving. it was waiting. waiting for me to go on the attack, then it would strike.i knew that much. i had to move and find a position where it couldn't get behind me, because i only had 4 bullets in my rifle. that meant i had to hit it. it shouldn't take more than 1 bullet, this rifle was 30-06. It is commonly used in bear hunting, but incase i had to hit it more than once, i would have to be extremely accurate. hitting a moving target 2 times out of 4 shots is hard, even for someone with my shooting experience, and i have been shooting for 25 years now. i started walking, expecting it to follow me, but i couldn't hear its movement. So either it was extremely quiet, or it wasn't moving. I was hoping it wasn't moving. so i kept walking until i came to a clearing with a hill on one side. the hill was very large, and it had a cliff or a drop off on one side. so i decided to see if i could climb up to it, because i was expecting that the animal couldnt climb well. if i could get up there, it would give me a perfect place to shoot from if it came running into the clearing...
