    Lieutenant Daniel Marshall knew there was no way out of this mess. The wolf was almost upon him. He had to think fast or he would be eaten. The greenery around him was perfect for hiding from the monstrous canine. A flash of white behind a nearby tree caught his attention. It took him a second of intense scrutiny, but he soon realized it was an enormous bone. He formulated a plan, even though he could easily hear the beast drawing closer. The lieutenant dashed towards the bone, and then somehow picked this enormous thing up. He threw it at the beast, which thankfully distracted it enough for him to run. As he drew towards his fort up in the trees, he heard a large thump. He turned around to see the canine with the bone on the ground behind him. He screamed in terror as lightning flashed across his vision.
