*After a few minutes of a date with a two-by-four. While giving a hockey player grin.*
As I write this, I am having trouble catching my breath. I have espied a most magnificent creature, only to have it turn around and almost catch me! I am not sure what it was, or was supposed to be. But it was marvelous to look at in form and beauty. It had a coat of iridescent hair that shimmered in the reddish sunlight. Four footed, with ivory cat-like claws and an oddly shaped head. I cannot decide whether it was elk like or antelope like. And it sang! But it was most unfriendly.
I apologise for my absence. Last night, I could have sworn I heard someone speaking outside my makeshift hut. Sounded almost like a social of some sort. When I looked outside, I could see nothing. Yet I distinctly remember hearing laughter. How passing odd. This is the forty-fifth day of my imprisonment. The plants here have large berries that are rather palatable.
