Horse Care (2013)
“Her situation kept getting worse. The skies had opened up with the thunderclap, and it was really pouring now. Her ankle and wrist were throbbing, and her back screamed in protest every time she tried to move.
With an effort of will, she shoved herself away from the tree trunk, feet first. She slid over the grass, trying to slow her progress with her good arm, and managed to make it to the bottom of the hill without injuring herself any further.
Once she was on flat ground again, she sat up gin...gerly and tried to decide what to do. Her first thought was to try to walk, or at least limp. But after attempting to climb to her feet, she knew it was hopeless. Even if she could have put some weight on her injured ankle—or found a branch to use as a cane—the pain in her back was too severe to let her take more than a step or two.
She collapsed flat on the ground on her stomach, squeezing her eyes shut tight as she waited for the shooting pains to subside again. What was she going to do? She was in a strange forest, far from any traveled trail, in the middle of a rainstorm.MoreLess
