THE DEAD GAME DAY 52

     The animals’ noises grew louder and more vicious-sounding. Mike turned around to find the cages wide open. The animals were in the middle of the room, saliva dripping from their open mouths…advancing on them…stalking their new prey.

     “Hurry up! Quickly open the door! The animals are loose and are coming toward us!” Mike could hear the sound of his own heart pounding in his ears.

     “I can’t find the opening on my own! Help me! If we hurry, maybe we can get out of here in one piece!” David shouted at them. He was searching the bricks around the door to find the one that would open the huge metal door for them.

     They joined him in the search.

     Mike knew that they had only a few precious seconds to spare before they were eaten alive by the wild animals. He could hear them breathing right behind him. He imagined their hot, heavy breath on the back of his neck, their sharp teeth glistening, preparing to dig into his soft flesh. He closed his eyes in defeat.

     “I found it!” screamed David. He pushed the lever that opened the door wide open. After they hurried through, the door slammed shut on the animals eager to rip them wide open.
      They found themselves outside by the pool.

Okay, a more vicious animal.

THE DEAD GAME DAY 51

THE DEAD GAME   DAY 51

     Mike opened the last door to find a huge circular chamber with metal bars built into the red brick walls. He entered the room, searching for more than bricks and bars.

     Growling sounds were emanating from within the walls. He edged closer to the bars and was horrified to find wild lions and tigers behind these bars, pacing back and forth in their cages. Their yellow eyes glowed in the dimly lit room.

     “There must be a light somewhere in this room that is reflecting on the animals’ eyes. Let’s look for the source of this light; there must be an opening!” Mike urged Louise and David, who were standing behind him.

     After a few moments of frantic searching, David called out, “The light is coming from the left side of the room! Look! Over there! There’s a door!” He ran over to the door and searched the bricks for any type of handle.
