Like a child hiding in a corner, shivering in fear, afraid that he will be found was the situation the boy was currently at . The only difference is he was shivering in cold not in fear. He wasn't  afraid of being find but rather being the small shelter of his be blown  away by the raging wind outside.

The boy have been living like this  for the past days straight. At first the boy was pretty calm about the up coming rainy season.

The wind is not that strong and the rain is pouring not that hard so he doesn't worry much about anything. But in just a span of two days water began to rise, alarming the boy.

The inspected flood  he predected is not happening yet. But it was slowly building up.

Even with the big leaves that serve  as the child's roof was not not doing any good.

It wasn't enough to keep the boy dry until this whole stormy season is gone.

There some leaks every where at the cage. And the only place that is  excepted is the  part near the tree which the boy was currently hiding at.

Although the boy saved quite the big amount of food and water not to starve,  he doesn't prepared anything to fight the coldness.

The boy only have his clothes that he was currently using and nothing more. He doesn't have something to use as a blanket and he  can't even light up a fire because of the wet floor and  the wind.

He can only stacked some random things around him so that the wind will not reach him somehow. This is what the boy have been doing this past  days.

With a shaking hands the boy reach one of the bamboo containing water. He drink some and get some berries and random fruit for his dinner.

Ha, night time again. The worst time ever.

The night time was the worse for the boy. It didn't only make it's colder, monster also hunt at night, especially the monster who scavenge the corpses of other monster that died.

Some of the monster took this  chance to eat corpses to regain there lost strength. Some are lower monster who can't afford to hunt because of the bigger and stronger ones so they eat the corpses instead.

Fortunately, only a few monster can reach the boy's  place somehow. Maybe because it's high above. His only problems was the monster that can crawl,climb, and fly. Like the annoying purple monkeys, and a big black flying,more like swimming crocodile and the one that the boy hated the most. The black and hairy spider.

I'm fine with the crocodile and the monkeys but never.. and ever.. be okay with the spider!.

The boy's dinner got interrupted when  something crash against the cliff wall he believe not to far from him.

Not long after that he heard another crash but now the boy was pretty sure that the sound came just outside the cage.

The fuck!. Did the monster find me?!.

With a shaking body  the boy slowly stand up and get the spear, which looks like something that gonna break the moment you swing it.

Umm.. at least it can last a swing

The boy point the spear  forward as he started to walk where the sound came from.

Because of the leaves covering the cage he can't see what was going on outside.

He go near and nearer from  the vines that serve as the cage . The boy tried to push some part of the leave that was covering the cage to  see what was happening outside.

He had a hard time for quite a while because of the darkness outside.

The boy's squint his eyes to see clearly what was outside. What's that?

For a second after getting a glimpse of what was outside the boy stop breathing. The next thing he knew was him crawling back to where he was before and started to cover his self with anything his hand touches.

The boy was having cold sweat all over him while holding a knife, pointing it forward with his hands trembling as hell.

He manage to cover haft of his body but the other haft wasn't.

In a second the scene of what the boy saw cross his mind. A figure of a big and hairy thing was laying next to the cage. Upon seeing it a familiar eerie feeling envelope his whole body.

It was the same feeling the boy once felt when he got lost and ended up at the opening of a strange cage that was emitting the same eerie feeling.

It was emitting this feeling that once he step foot inside he will be devour full for what ever creature was inside.

Since then the boy avoided that part of the forest . He make sure not even set foot there again even if it was an accident. Because he knew something scary was inside there. Scarier than all the monster he've met.

But to feel this feeling again even though the boy was not in front of the cage ,scares him the most. It only means one thing, what ever that thing outside was also the same thing that live at the scary cage.

I really fuck up this time that was for sure.
That thing was stronger than any monster in this forest. I bet it can even kill at least have of the monster population here without acquiring any injury.

The boy heard the sound of the thing outside moving which send more uneasiness  to boy . He held on the knife  even more, though he knew he doesn't  have a chance against it.

I can only try at least before dying.

Although the boy  himself was afraid to die. He knew he doesn't stand a single chance against the monster outside. The only thing he can do was accept his fate.

The monster crash against the cage causing it to break into pieces. Soon enough the raging wind sent the boy's staff all over.

The boy manage to get some before everything was sent flying up at the sky.

For the moment he forgot everything about the scary monster that was laying not to far from him. All his attention was on the things that he spent his sweat and life just to make and have now flying everywhere.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!"

The boy felt the same feeling when your school project got sweep away so you don't have a choice but to run after it even in the middle of a busy and dangerous highways just to get it back.

"MY STAFFFF!!!"

When the boy secure some he immediately put it inside his shirt , he then curled up on the ground, hugging his knees trying to protect the things that he manage to save.

The boy was already soaking wet but he doesn't care. The wind is slowly sweeping the boy so he  crawled back in the now half destroyed cage to take shelter

But the boy's misfortune didn't end there. Soon enough he heard something cracking.

Oh fuck!. Don't tell me-

He look around only to see a big crack forming at the stone platform.

Damn it!

The next thing the boy's knew was the platform completely collapsing and him falling second after.

What a fuck up day
