The chittering was closer now.

He pictured the creatures, stalking him through the undergrowth, feathered crests raised like plumes, beaks open as they emitted a series of trills and chirrups.

The small raptors were herding him, acting like a flock of sheep that had turned on the sheepdog.

The minute they stopped herding and started biting, he’d be in trouble.

Intent on escape, he’d missed the creeping darkness, but when the bright sun was veiled, the forest suddenly went quiet.

Howard Kanan seized his opportunity and made a dash for the cliff face.

It was time to learn to climb.

Okay, that was scary!

*g* But it's surprising what we can learn quickly if we have to!

[fredbassett]

Natural selection in action!

Thank you! Howard certainly wasn't well prepared for the Cretaceous but at least he is a fast learner :)

[fredbassett]

He'll have to be!

Eek! Lucky escape - assuming he can learn to climb... although I'm sure the raptors would be sufficient motivation.

[fredbassett]

Sounds like good motivation to me!

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

OOoh that’s tense! You don’t want them herding you!

[fredbassett]

You certainly don't!

[fififolle]

Good timing!!

[fredbassett]

Yes!
