Why Me? Chapter 1

I held my breath, not daring to make a sound or movement. The thought of ‘Go…go…move on. Nothing here for you to eat.’ kept running through my head while staring at the scaled, metal clawed foot. My eyes took in with disgusted fascination of the purple glop dripping from above, landing with a wet splat on the sand. The harsh winds quickly brought the fumes inside the cave and completely overwhelmed my nose. My eyes watering, I pulled the shirt collar over my nose. ‘Why does it have to smell like a huge skunk?’ What has my life come to? I'm stuck in the middle of a desert, crouching in a hole in a wall of rock, badly bruised, trying to hide from gem-bedded, giant, ugly, mothe*… -Sigh- The term of "be careful of what you wish for" comes to mind. I made a wish and I have it. Now I'm wishing that I took that term more seriously. All this trouble began fourteen days ago. Two weeks prior: "Yes!" I cheered quietly. I've been planning this trip for months. I'm about to go to Death Valley.
