Run.
It feels like this is the only word that has gone through my head in the past 12 days. Yet here I am again, only this time it's a little bigger, and a little scarier. Yes, it's not a good idea to mess with a Tarbosaurus, the slightly smaller but just as lethal cousin of tyrannosaurus rex. How did I get on this situation you ask? Well it's a long story, but seeing as I have a lot of time to kill, lets get started.
My name is Michael, and this is my story of survival, if you can call it that, in the deserts of Mongolia. One catch, it's 68 million years ago.
It was a fairly average day in New York, birds fly around Central Park and people hurrying to get to their destinations. I in particular was standing in front of the local camera store to get a new SD card for my summer project in collage. 30 dollars for 8 gigabytes? Not kidding when they say inflation is driving prices to the roof and beyond.
Once I've picked one and started heading home to my apartment I hear an odd crackling noise coming from one of the alleys. Curious, I go down it to see what the noise was, and to my surprise see a machine the size of a 1980's cell phone sitting there buzzing away.
What is it doing? Rather, what is it?
Beyond good judgment I pick the device up, seeing it has only one button and what looked like a touchscreen.
Maybe it is a cell ph-
Before I could put the devise down I see a large purple vortex show up and, to my horror, swallow me in to it. I see more swirls start to surround me and I know that this is going to kill me one way or another. The swirls inside the vortex begin to spin, and not long after that I black out.
When I wake up I find myself in a large desert. Knowing that I can't be in New York, I try to determine where I could be. Looking at all the plants, I don't recognize any of them, there are similar to plants that I have seen before, but not the same. Then I see something moving in a large shrub. I advance slowly to the sound to see if it might be something that could help me determine where I am.
When I reach the shrub, the animal jumps out and trys to attack me. Flailing around, I manage to scare the creature off, but not before I see what it is. A dinosaur. I don't know much about them, but that thing sure looks like something that would fit in jurassic park the reboot. It stands about 2 feet tall from my guess and is extremely fast. Before I know it the small dinosaur is gone and Im left to try and figure out what is going on.
Searching my limited dinosaur knowledge I try to find out what that thing could have been.
A raptor.
Oh. Thats not good, at least judging by jurassic park and that history channel special that I watched. Maybe it was a baby? I don't know, but if it was then that means that the mother is probably around. At that though I decided to leave and find a good place to camp for the night, sense judging by the sun I have 2-3 hours at best to find shelter and set up camp. Now all those years of watching survival shows would pay off big time.
After about an hour I find a good rock overhang to set up a temporary base, and then maybe freak out a little bit once the reality of the situation hits me. Making a small fire and then an uncomfortable looking bed of grass, I try to get some sleep, knowing that this is going to be a long night.
Hello there users of fan fiction! This is my first story, so any constructive criticism would be nice, and sorry that this is a bit short, but from here on out I plan to have all chapters be at least 1,000 words. Maybe I'l raise that target later. But anyways, thanks for reading, hope to see you next time!
