FEELING THE NEED FOR SPEED
By: Vanessa Sgroi
"C'mon, Dean, pick up speed!" Sam commanded over his shoulder.
"I'm runnin' as fast as I can!" bellowed Dean from several feet behind.
"Well, it's not fast enough!"
"Tell me about it!" Dean could hear something much larger than he crashing through the brush behind him. Too close behind him!
Sam suddenly hooked to the right, picking up speed. Dean followed but stumbled, wasting precious seconds recovering. By the time he'd evened out, Sam had disappeared.
Suddenly, an arm shot out, yanking Dean sideways into the hollow of dead tree.
"Wha?!"
"Ssshhh..." Sam's fingers settled over Dean's lips.
Dean nodded, struggling to bring his breathing under control. After several seconds, an overwhelming stench enveloped them. The giant bear-like creature was close. Dean's eyes began to water. He fought back a sneeze.
The tree swayed and there came a violent roar. The brothers winced at the voluminous noise. Then as suddenly as it started, the swaying stopped, the stench rapidly dissipating.
"Whew, that was close," breathed Dean. He went to exit their shelter, but nothing happened. He wiggled, stretched, twitched. It was all for naught. "Sam, we've got a problem. I think we're stuck."
