I had been lying in my hammock for a while, staring up at the jungle canopy. I would have much rather been staring at the stars, but that would mean that I was in the middle of the clearing. And in the middle of a jungle with a bunch of carnivorous predators, that felt a bit too vulnerable.
Night had scampered off someplace. I was hoping not to bring more snakes in my direction, but either way, I missed the cute little Nightmare. I was all alone for the first time in a really, really long time.
