The Dump Chronicles Day Five

Suddenly, lightening struck a nearby tree, creating a loud boom and igniting the wood. Frightened, he jumped away from the tree. He could smell burning wood and see smoke billowing everywhere. The creature searched frantically for a way to escape the raging fire that was rapidly enveloping the forest.

Looking down he saw the opening to a mine shaft. Shaking, he climbed in, falling into darkness. As he was falling he thought he heard the voice of his Grampa Brown calling after him, as he would often do, “Remember, you belong wherever you are”. Then, with a big thud, the creature hit the bottom of the shaft and passed out.
