It be me, Esme, again! I know that this is short, but it is essential. So enjoy!!","content":"I hastily snatch the sniper rifle, but as I bring it around, it slips out of my hands. The rifle falls and the trigger snags a branch, BOOM! The rifle goes off and crashes onto the leaf-covered ground below. \"FUCK!!!\" I scream in anger. To my horror I hear shouts coming from the direction of the camp. _Oh great, now I am screwed if I don't hurry._ I quickly jump from tree to tree in a mad dash to get away. When I can no longer continue, I jump out of a tall maple into a crouch. I speedily stand up and scan my surrondings. \"nothing, that's good,\" I say with a sigh. I sit with my back against the maple. I am mentally, and physically, exhausted. I know it is dangerous, but I\u0026nbsp;fall into\u0026nbsp;the dark abyss of sleep and allow it\u0026nbsp;to take me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy eyes slowly open, I automatically raise my hand to block the bright, assaulting sunlight.

You know, to TALK to people with. That way you aren't ALONE._ I start to reach for a spot on my head that has started to itch when I feel the cold, hard metal of a gun barrel poke into the back of my head. \"I wouldn't move if I were you.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Out Of the Frying Pan...","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/493200-out-of-the-frying-pan-part-2.json"}}
