You make your way through the jungle toward the fading fire-like glow. You have to go pretty slowly to keep from breaking your neck- the terrain is treacherous and very hilly- or from losing an eye. Clarrisse is using her machete ahead of you and thorn branches keep whipping back at you.
“Did you hear that?” She comes to a sudden halt. You go silent, listening to the night sounds- crickets, frogs, and a far off wolf. And then something that sounds like angry shouting, coming from the direction of the meteor strike, but too far away to make out any words.
The yelling stops again. You and Clarisse exchange looks. She takes another step into the jungle, machete balance in one hand, and the night explodes with sound. As in literally, explosions. More yelling, shrieking really, and gunfire.
It lasts for maybe 30 seconds. Then silence. Even the crickets have gone silent.
