We started the long climb through the mountains of Manali. We walked over the frozen lake at the bottom of the mountain, with our camp director guiding us up the path to the first campsite.
We finally reached base camp and we started to unpack. As soon as we start unpacking, the camp director asks me to go into the woods and collect firewood
I angrily search the wet, damp forest floor for dead branches that could be used as fire wood.
I kept walking through the forest arguing and complaining in out loud, shouting into the forest. I meet a curvy path, I bend down to examine what may have caused this. Suddenly I hear a snap of a twig followed with a sniff. Shock runs through my body as I think to myself what kind of animal it would be. It felt like me trying thousands of snerios in my head to see what could help me but none of them clicked.
On thought quick rushed into my head to help, RUN!!!!!!I zig zag through trees, rocks, logs and everything else you could find in a forest. I heart was beating so loudly it felt like someone was playing drums on my chest. I ran as fast as I could, not caring less about the beautiful place around me as it past me in a blur.
I kneel behind a huge rock inside of a cave, slowly sobbing as the humongous creature slowly thumps past my hiding spot.
