Chapter 2

Mark woke up, the air was thick and humid and smelled of coming rain it was daytime the sun was hidden by the clouds. Mark got up his head was pounding and felt as if it weighed a ton. He tried to remember the blue light there was the tube of blue light then the snake. Mark looked at his hands they were not swollen, he felt no pain, saw no bite marks, fingers worked fine, it looked as if nothing had happend, and what was weirder he was transported from the desert to the rainforest. Then he layed hand on the tall red grass. Grass? Red? He thought that he was delirious.
Mark thought he was having hallucinations. He heared a snorting sound that came from beyond the trees. Then all of a sudden a large hairy animal resembling a buffalo charged into the small clearing. It had long tusks, beady eyes and a pig like snout it waved it's shaggy head back and forth, sniffed the air and bellowed then charged Mark quickly ran and jumped up to a branch on the nearest tree the beast slammed in to the tree then the beast left soon after the beast left Mark climbed down the tree. He knew that a hallucination wouldn't attack him so this had to be a real place.

What a nice summary!I can really picture it! Red grass? Gary Paulsen has an amazing imagination. So, Mark seems to be out of the desert now...how did he get there?
