I gently dip my toe into a black pool of water. I see an object slowly coming up from the deep. I am excited and scared. A hippopotamus emerges. She looks real pissed….RUN! I start sprinting off and the hippo chases me, wanting to tear me apart. There are tons of tables and chairs, so I try to confuse the hippo by zig zaging and throwing chairs behind me. This hippo is extremely fast, right on my heels, like a hippo with rabies scary!

Suddenly I run out the mouth of a cave and stop in my tracks as I take in one of the most beautiful scenes. I am in Namibia, Everything is soaked in a golden sunset. I see children heading back to their homes with their fathers, done with learning how to hunt for the day. Silhouettes of beautiful trees.

I spot a lion in the distance stalking something. Then I am right there with the lion. It springs out of the brush and starts chasing it prey. Everything becomes slow motion. I see the lion run and kick up sand that sparkles in the sun. I take in all of the lion’s majesty. The lion takes down his prey and stands triumphantly over it.
