The rain came down harder and we could hear it pounding on the leaves. Angelica stood there soaking wet and angry pointing outside.
“You mean to tell me we’ve landed in this? A place full of giant bugs and crazy natives?” she shouted.
“Relax, there aren’t any giant bugs,” said Mael as he continued sharpening his stick, making it into a spear.
“No, you fucking get real Mael, there’s shit out there that we don’t know about, we found some tribe of people living in caves on cliffs, another tribe who captures people, and on top of that I just saw a fucking giant lizard thing!” her long black hair sprinkled water at us as she talked.
“A lizard thing?” asked John.
“Yeah,” she pointed outside again, “a fucking lizard thing, it could have been a dinosaur for all I know!”
“Alright, Angie, calm down,” said Sarah as she stood up.
John got up and peeked outside, “I don’t see anything.”
“You can’t see anything, its pitch black outside! Ugh. Whatever, I saw it okay, its there, I’m not crazy.” Angie sighed as she calmed down, “how are we going to get out of here, has Mark gotten any reception yet?” she looked over to his cell phone.
Mark looked up with no hope, dirt covered his face from the trip earlier in the day. He shook his head, “No, nothing.”
“Shit… what are we going to do you guys, we can’t just stay like this forever. We have to start hunting and customizing our own space, we can’t just wait around.”
“His battery is going to die out soon..” Joan said softly from a corner.
