Seeing this dragon‘s face after lifting myself over the edge of the rock trail shook me, but I quickly understood it wasn’t real. I began drinking from my water bottle, trying to think of the best strategy for the descent. I couldn’t stay here long; the thin air made breathing hard. I wanted to avoid the red fire ant nest I spotted on the way up. I desperately tried to channel more inner strength to keep pushing on. Otherwise, the thieves would catch up with me. I was their sworn enemy. A hint of a smile flashed across my face.

For me they are tricky every week as I further restrict myself to do them in order! But yes, it’s amazing to me too to see what others come up with. Thank you!
