The shadows

Mammoth Cave

It was a hot summer evening when he came. He must have been an late waker. It begins like this. Me and my brother John went to the woods to explore. We were bored , I mean it was the middle of summer and we lived in the middle of the woods. What else were we supposed to do? We decided to find a new place to build a treehouse since the other burnt Down last July. John fell down a hole and sprained his ankle. Immediately it began to rain. Not just normal rain it was torrential downpour. It soon began to lighting and thunder. The rain was soaking through our boots. So obviously it was the smart thing to take shelter. Right? We found a cave in a limestone wall. Soon after we found some flint and made a fire using our knifes. By then it was dark. That was when it came out. It was big and black the flames seemed to anger it more. It batted at the flames then retreated To the shadows. The wind came rushing into the cave and blew out the fire. That was when it came. Only I emerged from the cave...... This was a memoir of Susan the man who defeated a bear and died in a German insane asylum.
