deer monster

*I take a few steps closer, my breath brushing your cheek* See? I won't bite...

you won't?

*I laugh softly, my voice like a whisper of the wind* No, I won't. But I might do this...

*The person is starting to cry again, and they're looking at me with pleading eyes. I can tell that they're begging for mercy, and I'm not sure what to do. I look at you, and I'm hoping that you have some advice*

*you run away like an actual deer*

*I take off running, my heart pounding in my chest. I can't believe how close I came to dying last night. I don't know what I was thinking, getting so close to the light. I should have known better. I keep running, not stopping for a moment, until I'm far away from the fire and the light. I'm exhausted and out of breath, but I'm safe.*

*I make a small campfire to make breakfast and I start cooking fish*
