A chase in Africa

I was wandering in the plains of Africa. I stumbled upon a local tribe they welcomed me in and

offered me lots of food and made my life as comfortable as can be. It took me a couple of hours

to realize that they were going to EAT ME! I decided to escape quietly but someone recognized

me and alarmed the others. So I ran for it. Straight out of the camp and into the vast desert.


I traveled for miles and I knew that they wouldn’t give up a free feed so I kept ongoing.

I grew fatigued and started to walk the heat on my skin was starting to boil. I was dehydrated,

this was a serious issue for me because I could die, I need to find water and fast. I was walking

around searching for water or shade. Telling myself not to give up and to keep going on.


I saw a waterhole in the distance and that was when I heard the carnivores charging at me we

were both sprinting for the waterhole we all needed it. I had to get their first so I could get a

drink before they could kill me. I got their first and filled up my jacket in water and ran, lets

just say running and drinking at the same time is challenging. I found a bush to hide in while

the carnivores ran past; it was nice to have a brake while I drink my water. But I still need to

find civilization.


I took a minute to look around and try to find a town I sighted a little square in the distance.

I decided to take my time and wait a little longer just to make sure all the carnivores past.

Then I started to walk. Up and down the dunes, past trees, past the waterholes I’d stop at as

much as I could to drink. Then I noticed something, I felt the dirt under my feet; It was rough,

but it gradually turned to sand I was halfway there. I kept going on. After all the running, all the

walking, all the tribal men chasing me, I’m finally free.

Once I got to the town, I talked to the residents. They were remarkably nice and friendly, and

they were eating fruit (I was glad they didn’t eat meat). A nice man pointed me in the direction

of their leader. He was huge and tall, this made me want to bow. He was very wise, he said

“you’re not from here are you?” I told him that I needed to go back to my city Lagos. He then

pointed me to a jeep and told his people to drop him off on the way.I didn’t know why they would

be going to Lagos too. I talked to one of the people on the jeep with me, he offered me food

and water. I asked him what are they doing going to lagos but he could not understand, my

throat was sore and raspy. We got there and they made me hop of I saw them picking up

supplies and loading it onto the jeep, I helped to thank them. This was it back in my own city, I am home.
