I, Phileas Fogg, make a stop in Guyana. Inspired by the lush forests and the rumor of
their secret white balls, I nonchalantly lurked about, seeking their discovery.
As I was walking the life of Guyana the
rainforest to my side simply enthralled me. I decided to take some extra
moments and search it out. I had just gotten off the beaten path when a
hailstorm of rocks pelted down from above. I ran out from under them in
the only direction available and ran right into a large, out-of-place boulder
sitting in the middle of the forest ground. It made me curious so I began
to walk around the boulder. I got halfway and there was a small opening
just large enough to fit an average native. Swift native arrows began
striking the ground just beside me. In a frantic escape I found my hips
stuck in the opening. Thoughts of continuing inside only touched the
fringes of my mind as I felt a warm trickle on my shoulder. An arrow just
glazed over my skin as the scent of iron l swathed my nostrils. Quickly I
forced myself the rest of the way out of the opening. Suddenly, I was
surrounded by shrub. Vines encircled my sight as my bare feet, adrenaline
churning stomach, and pumping arms surged through the damp rainforests of
Guyana. There were authorities on my heels and I was growing desperate
for a drink. I had been caught red-handed as I innocently stuffed a
handful of some native snack into my deep pockets to satiate my growling
stomach. I glanced back and saw nothing but heard the feet pounding
behind me, closing in on me. I saw a flash of red as a native came into view
directly at the side of my vision. I
yelled as I saw the line of safety come into view. I pumped harder and
ran faster, faster than I thought I could muster. Abruptly, all was
silent the very moment I crossed the invisible line to safety. Desperate
for a deep intake of air I bend over and steadily breathe for a moment or two.
I take a few minutes and withdraw the snack from my pockets. They are white. They are what I needed. I pop one into my mouth and the flavor explodes
inside. Coconut mixed with salty cashews
hidden inside. My mouth waters for more
relentlessly.
