Can I start? You can disregard it if it doesn't work. Just thought it would be fun to write what's on my mind. And pease excuse my horrible spelling.
"Where is he?" "Where's the theif?" Zeke took refuge in a small patch of brush to catch his breath. Through the twigs, he surveyed the lionesses madly circling the perimeter, searching for him. Due to his own pride being wiped out by a grassfire, Zeke has been traveling alone, descretely stealing what scraps he can from the stockpiles of small prides he has encountered. But after a tedious life of petty crimes, he was spotted.
Hiding in the bushes, Zeke saw that his time was running short. The lionesses were closing in on his postion quickly and it was only a matter of time before he was seen. He found a break in the lionesses' formation and made a frantic dash to get away. Heads turned as Zeke erupted from the bushes, sprinting as fast as he could. The lionesses furiously slashed at the rouge, one tearing a gash in his nose, and another latching onto his shoulder for a second, almost bringing Zeke to the ground. Adrenaline pumped through Zeke's body, he felt nothing but overwhelming fear as he dashed away from the enraged pride. With lionesses still on his tail, Zeke found he was nearing a massive gorge and it was comming up fast. Having no other choice, Zeke hurled himself across the gap, leaving the lionesses far behind on the other side. Zeke landed on his front paws, but stumbled and rolled on to his shoulder leaving a cloud of dust behind him. He looked back to find the pride retreating, for they did not dare to take the risk of following him over the gorge. Zeke slowly lifted himself off the ground, now feeling a sharp, tearing pain across his face and shoulder. Blood was gushing profusely from his nose and Zeke began to feel light-headed, but he pushed on, putting as much space between him and the lionesses.
Soon, something appeared in the distance, but Zeke's vision was slowly giving way to darkness and he was far too weak and wounded to get out of range of the figure. Zeke limped on approaching the figure, but his legs gave way and he passes out.
(Thought I might tie in a recent sketch.)
