Jim
by Kate R

He really didn't know much after then first ten minutes. The water was cold and he was alone and the water smelled and he was alone.

Water smelled like bleach, he thought as Alex shoved him into the water.

It tasted like bleach too so he wondered how much chlorine was in the water.

/Jim, Where are you? / He cried out in his fear. /Jim I need you. / It was so cold and he was so alone and scared and Alex laughed as she shoved him into the fountain. He wanted Jim.

It was dark now and it was cold and heard a wolf howl and then--- the there was a roar in the distance and he was running through the forest on all four feet. He was running to something. He was running and---

/jim. /

Running faster and faster.

/Jim. /

Running to the panther he could see running to him.

/Jim! /

The panther had come for him. Jim had come for him and---

/JIM!/

And he was choking on water and Jim was there and he was safe and then there was oxygen and he felt better.

"jim?" he said weakly. And Jim was there, brushing the wet hair off his face.

"You're okay, Chief," he says. "You're gonna make it."

And he laid Blair back on the stretcher and smiled.

"Jim." And everything was okay.

/"Jim."/

He thought/heard/felt as he lay back on the stretcher.

/Jim. /
