"A Prehistoric Walk In The Park"

~by Duncan Cary Palmer~

The raptor’s gaining ground fast.

No way out.

Considering all options—none good—I charge the cliff ahead.

Scrabbling up the sheer rock face scarcely in time to escape those bloody, razor sharp teeth, I bark a knee. My uniquely human, prehensile digital extremities have saved my ass once again.
