Week Seven EOC: The Pitch



Food and Flavor...
Let your taste buds soar through the rainforests of Guyana as you allow them to trickle with the bursting flavor of chopped cashews hidden inside coconut balls, fried in sunflower oil then dipped in salt water.  Enhance the taste of your chosen drink with a handful of these adrenaline filled bursts.   

Adventure...
I chose to take a pit-stop and as I was walking the life of Guyana; the rainforest to my side simply enthralled me.  I decided to take some extra time and search it out.  I had just gotten off the beaten path and a hailstorm of rocks pelted down from above me.  I ran out from under it 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.  The sound of trickling water reached my ears as I tried to get through, but found I was a bit too large to fit through the narrow opening comfortably so I began to back out. Sharpened arrows began striking the ground just beside me.  In a frantic escape I found my hips stuck in the opening.  Thoughts of continuing in 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 metal encased 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.  Suddenly 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 am safe.
