The pending silence was split by a tremendous explosion that had the neutered future predator reeling from the shock wave with a pained shriek cry before it took off at speed.

James stared, wide-eyed, as the sky was filled with streaks of fire that screamed through the air like malfunctioning rockets. He swallowed as the sky turned red and predator and prey ran helter-skelter past him, struck by some nameless panic.

He wished he knew what era he was in as he watched fireballs rain down into the now-steaming jungle and tongues of flame sprang skyward far too close for comfort.

Um, James, I think you should run. Like now!

Time for a swift exit, I think!

Eek! Very apocalyptic.
Stay safe, Lester.

Yikes, didn't see that one coming!

Well, that DID get rid of the FP...though they could get run over by something else as it tries to escape.

I hope the cub sticks close to James and doesn't panic. Trust you to top a future predator with an exploding volcano/comet, whatever!

Oh no! And he's hurt so I suppose he's stuck there... unless next week's prompt is something helpful! :)

Whoa! That solves the predator problem, but that doesn't seem a terribly good place for James to be at the moment!

Yikes! He's safe from the predator for now, but what's happening may be worse. Nicely done.

Eep! Literally from the frying pan into the fire!
