Saber Tooth

My fingers went white and my teeth started to chatter in the cold, wintry air, I palpitated as the algid breeze penetrated my armour of warmth. Obliquely I trudged, battling y way through the hyperborean gusts towards the clump of ice-bound trees. Sonorously I slumped onto the pane of bleached snow that covered the landscape, THUD! Craving for warmth I desperately rubbed my hands together. But it was merely any help to me, it was as if I had extinguished a candle of fire inside a gargantuan forest fire.

My heart pounded in trepidation as the thoughts of me dying in the cold repeatedly popped up in my head. I started to feel dizzy as a curtain of darkness wrapped itself onto my eyes so all could see was a vacant, tinted void.

I obliged my eyes to open but obstinately they remained shut. Suddenly with a mass relief, my eyes opened and my sight was restored. I tried to move my arms but I was restrained by what seemed to feel like metal. Under the throbbing pain that seemed to have swollen my eardrums, I could barely hear an accession of footsteps. Panic-stricken I laid my head back down and pretended to be asleep. A bulky man with broad shoulders entered the room and stood by the door. As tense as an Olympic racer would be I was as I felt the man’s warm breath being blown rapidly onto my neck; after a while I took a risk and decided to look around myself trying to prognosticate where I was (also the man seemed to have left the room), I meticulously bored my eyes into the strange equipment that had been neatly placed in a semi-circle around me.

Abruptly I heard a set of doors being thrust open in the corridor that lied in front of me and indistinct chattering. Two lean men wearing lab coats hastily traipsed into the room carrying a neon, blue fang in a tong. All a once an inordinately, luminous beam of light shine onto my eyes and for a few minutes, I thought I was blind. Numbed and paralysed by the light I couldn’t move or feel anything but I could hear the vociferous sound of drilling and cutting.

It felt as if I had been there for years and the last word I’ve heard since is Saber Tooth.
