The Survivors

Season one: Chapter four: A new friend pt 2

John sat up quickly and scanned the treeline. He could see a figure standing next to a tree, shrouded in the thick foliage of the jungle. The figure stepped out into the light. He had bronze skin with short, messy black hair. It was hard to tell from the ground, but the man didn’t look very tall.

“My name’s Carter,” he said. “You?”

“John,” he replied.

“Well, nice to meet you, John,” Carter said as he offered his hand. When John stood up, he could see that he was correct. John was about 6’1, which placed Carter around 5’5. “So, what exactly is going on here,” John said, gesturing toward the two dead Raptors. “I’ll explain it on the way to camp,” Carter replied.

“So, as far as I know, we’re in some strange land full of prehistoric animals. I’ve only been here for about two weeks, though, so I’m still trying to figure things out,” Carter explained. After a few minutes of walking, they came across a circle of wooden walls. Carter walked up the a pair of doors and opened them. As John walked through the doors, he looked around to see multiple animals around the place. Two scaly dog-like creatures sat in the corner, and multiple plump birds wandered aimlessly around the camp. On the far side of the area, John saw four creatures that looked vaguely like dilophosurus, only smaller with frills of the side of their heads.

“What are these things,” John asked.

“Well, the dumb birds walking around are Dodo’s, the scaly dogs are moschops, and the bipedal ones in the corner are dilos,” Carter said.

“Wow,” John marveled.

“Well, it’ll be sundown soon. Get some rest. I’ll talk to you in the morning,” Carter said.
