Goddamn it.

GODDAMN IT.

GOD. DAMN. IT.

A three second gap, he'd looked away to check the time, and all of a sudden, there it was. A great, big, stupid, Hobgoblin of a mammal, blinking stupidly and swiping at his beloved with a black, chunky paw.

That's right, someone had thrown a piece of bread at the black bear that had been hanging around on the other side of the wall, and now it was blocking his only gate to freedom.

God, he hated animals. With a passion.

And he was the one being brave!

Jonah had decided that it would be a brilliant idea to play a game he so fondly called "Wall Chicken", where he would shove Miles out into the wilderness and see how long it too for the older twin to freak out. It was probably a world record this time, Miles had freaked out when he saw a large insect and ran the wrong way...gotten a little lost.

In retrospect, he'd only been a few metres from the door that he'd been pushed out of, but in the jungle, that was about the equivalent to a hundred thousand million fafillion metres in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah...Miles had gotten lost, and being the chicken that he was, wouldn't climb up a tree to see where he was. It's cool, he found his way back. But now with a large black bear standing between him and his freedom, there seemed to be no hope. Jonah had fed the bear, and now it had a taste for food.

Head popping up from the thicket, Miles searched the area visually for some kind of distraction. Lazy black bear, he had 'affectionately' named it Lazy because it didn't move all that much. But even so, he was just a little bit afraid of it. Mostly because it was THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF HIM.

Anyway....Miles ducked down again, trying to find something to get the attention of the bear, and ended up discovering a rock the size of his fist. Scowling, he picked it up, aimed it, and threw it- missing the bear altogether, the rock crashing into the door it was standing in front of.

"Shit."
