Sunlight filters through the trees as kamu walks along a peaceful trail in the wildlife sanctuary. The path winds through lush vegetation, with birds chirping softly in the distance. As she rounds a bend, she spots a lone figure sitting on a bench ahead—a man, his posture tense and eyes fixed on the trail.
Unease prickles at the back of her neck. Something about his demeanor sets her on edge. She slows her pace, considering her options. The main trail continues past the bench, but she notices a small gap in the foliage to her right.
A sign nearby catches her eye: "CAUTION: BEAR ENCLOSURE." Her heart races as she weighs the risks. The man hasn't moved, but his presence feels increasingly threatening. With a deep breath, she makes a split-second decision.
She slips through the gap, pushing aside branches until she reaches a concrete wall, the barrier to the bear enclosure. Her heart pounds as she climbs over it, careful not to make too much noise.
Inside, the air feels different—wilder, charged with an unseen presence. The scent of fresh food lingers in the air, making her realize the bear might be hungry. She moves as quietly as possible, eyes darting around for any sign of movement.
Twigs snap beneath her feet as she picks her way through the underbrush. A low growl freezes her in her tracks. Slowly, she turns to see a massive grizzly bear emerging from the shadows, its amber eyes locked on her.
