CAMPING NIGHTMARE
One night, a young man, called Aaron, was camping out in the Andes, when he had a terrifying nightmare.

In his nightmare, he entered a range of dark, jagged peaks.

The sky was dark grey; the wind howled like a thousand demons and lightning flashed menacingly.

A frightful place it was to be in a dream.

Yet, it was just the beginning.

As he wandered on, Aaron started to feel that he was being watched. Watched, from every direction.

Then there sounded the terrifying noises. Unearthly shrieks, menacing growls and ferocious roars.

From all over the place those noises came. Like ten thousand fiends.

Aaron fearfully looked around and upwards and saw hundreds of Raptors.

The Raptors were four feet tall, eight feet long and had green skin, ferocious jaws and luminous yellow eyes.

Aaron darted inside a cave to hide.

Too late!

Raptors entered the cave and went for the kill.

Then the nightmare ended.
