You dashed through the dense forest as fast as your feet would carry you, dodging thick roots that threatened to knock you flat. But even with your speed, the crash of the tree-like grass being flattened underfoot behind you seemed to grow closer and closer. Every time you tried to duck out of their path, you looked over your shoulder to find they were still right on your tail. He had to know you were there, there was no way this wasn't deliberate...but every time you stared back at the Rex's face, with his lips curled up into a smile, an expression of absent-minded contentment lacking any signs of acting or hidden malice. Life just seemed to hate you today...though, admittedly, part of you wasn't exactly complaining about all of this. You had come here for a little thrill seeking after all, exploring the backyard of some gigantic carnivores to get into some trouble...maybe more. And this was certainly-your foot caught on one of the roots mid steps, and you plowed down into the dirt hard. Even with the soil wet from being recently watered, it still hurt...and you had to cough up a few lumps of mud too. You tried to get back onto your feet, when a sudden impact not too far from you shook the earth and knocked you back down. Turning your gaze to the sky, you looked up just in time to see a red leathery and plump sole falling from the sky towards right where you laid. There was no time to move, and in seconds you were being pressed into the ground by the fleshy object. It grinded into the dirt, but most of the pressure moved off you as the Tyrannosaur shifted his foot to dig his toes into the ground. The sole kept you firmly down, however. There was no escape.

Through the flesh of the dinosaur, nearly drowned out by his quickened pulse, you hear him take a deep breath in and out through his nose. "Aaah...wow...what just a great day! Mum's right...I really do pay attention to the world around me more..." The boy paused to pull his toes back out of the ground and wiggle them, sending strange waves of pressure across you as his sole wrinkled with the motions. "...The sun and the breeze and feeling of my toes in the mud...man...I could just stand here all day..." The boy took a shallower breath in and out before falling silent, rocking slightly on his feet as he seemed intent to act on his words...and put more pressure on you. The back and forth motion rolled you slightly, but it always kept your firmly underneath the foot...until the T-Rex moved, there was no way you were going to get out of this one. So it looks like you were just going to have to sit back and take it...or enjoy it, maybe.

Well...assuming the pressure doesn't get to you...

Man, this is horrible...such a half-assed description for a wonderful piece...but I had to get this up today! This utterly fantastic piece was created by  bloodoodles and I am utterly blown away by it. For more than one reason...for, you see, I didn't commission this. No. I didn't even know it existed until today. This, my friends, was a utterly fantastic and incredibly surprising Christmas gift by  caliburman He got this for me and I am...I am just speechless. I wasn't expecting any presents this year beyond a few dollars in Christmas cards due to financial problems, but...this is just...it's very meaningful, and I feel like a dick for having nothing to give in return. So...I'm asking for a favor from all of my watchers. If you have not already, please...please...PLEASE go give Caliburman a watch, and favorite a few of the works he's commissioned too for good measure. It would mean a lot to me, and it would help me start to repay him for this awesome gift. Also, I will do my best to revisit this picture in the future and give it a proper story description. Just, for now, please forgive me for this horrible one. Likewise, the promised cute story description is coming along...slowly, but it's coming! I had hoped to get it done today, but something tells me that won't happen. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate! Happy Winter-y Times!
