Emmett VS Bears (Preview)
Added 2023-06-24 05:04:35 +0000 UTCMaybe the bears were already gone…?
Hopeful, Emmett turned around to open the door once more.
Nope. Still there. One of the cubs was sitting up. He swore it was glancing across the clearing to stare at him. His spine tingled. He hoped the cub didn’t think he looked like a good late-night-snack…
The cub got up, walked a few steps away from the others, but luckily it wasn’t coming closer to Emmett. He watched as the bear started to—
He’d… Always thought bears lifted their legs to do that like dogs did, apparently not, they just kinda stood there… ‘Freaking show-off…’ he thought as the bear pissed. He swore, the thing had somehow RECOGNIZED what he needed to do while it had been staring at him. It KNEW Emmett needed a bathroom NOW, it KNEW that it was preventing him from reaching the only one around here, and it was trying to TAUNT him.
Emmett shut the door and reminded himself that an animal wouldn’t be capable of thinking all THAT through. But, he could be wrong. His dog seemed to toy with him like that sometimes too… Spike was an enormous Great Dane, so when he was brought out on walks, if he wanted to stop for a while, there was little Emmett could do to change his mind. And, sometimes it seemed like Spike could just TELL when Emmett REALLY had to get back home right away. More than once, Emmett had caught himself mumbling “Come ON, I’m not like you! I can’t just pee on every bush in the neighborhood!”
And, he swore, Spike would look back and almost smile at him, like he thought it was funny…
Was he imagining things, or had that bear gotten a bit of a glint in its eye before it decided to pee in front of him?
Ugh, yeah, the desperation was driving him nuts.
Or maybe that bear just genuinely hated him for some reason.
