CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

Frederick came to a panting stop, breathing hard as he reached down for his knees. Most of his mind was still in complete shock at what he had just seen only moments prior, a massive head that would have given any dinosaur or prehistoric creature from the past a run for its money. Despite the innate fear that gripped him the moment the huge creature had emerged from the growth, he forced himself onward.

Surprisingly the thing had not given up chase. Frederick felt as though he had outrun the land version of a great white shark, and that thought alone made him feel on top of the world as he stood upright and put his hands over his head, still trying desperately to catch his breath.

He knew he was out of shape. It had been quite some time since he had last exercised. Starting a giant online company usually had that type of 24/7 grip on people. The fact that he was still alive though, still breathing the warm jungle air, was about as intoxicating a feeling as he had ever experienced or even hoped for back in his trial and error drug days of his youth.

Nope, he thought to himself, once again keeling over and feeling as if he was going to vomit. Not feeling good.

He coughed several times, but it appeared to be nothing more than the dry heaves, the worst by his own accord. At least vomiting would provide immediate relief. He continued to dry heave for a while before he was able to fully stand to his feet, and with saliva plastered across his face he looked back down the boardwalk, expecting to see the creatures still giving chase, but all was silent, eerily silent.

Resting his arm on the railing of the boardwalk, he realized for the first time just how dense the growth was in this section. It hung and formed a canopy high above the boardwalk, intertwining itself, making things quite a bit darker than they should have been.

Instinctively, he backed away, somewhat intimidated by the lack of visibility that lay before and above him in the dense, dark growth. The lack of light made it difficult to see, but his eyes caught a break in the vines and branches. With his pulse quickening, he blinked several times, uncertain at what he was observing.

Within another second all was revealed. About ten feet or so away, almost completely invisible in the vegetation, laid two large baseball-sized bulbous eyes. Frederick almost missed them, and even as he was staring wide eyed as a child, he was still unsure if what he was looking at was indeed real or not. Suddenly one of the eyes swiveled and turned directly towards him.

His brain screamed loudly for him to run, screamed for him to turn and sprint, but his heart began pounding. Whether it was the tension or the sheer terror of it all, a jumbled message was sent to his brain. His feet got tripped up, sending him tumbling backwards as he fell with an awkward thump on his backside.
