At the end of the forest they were still running. Boyce lead the way to bridge and entered a few steps into it.
"Is it safe, I wonder?"
"It has to be safer than what we had just left!" Lloyd admitted, pointing in the direction from which they came.
It was at this point that the yelping and growling sounds of many dogs began to echo from the forest not very far away.
They looked at one another and shrugged in unison as they began to run across the bridge. They laughed as they ran especially when the bridge began to swing wildly with every step they took and they prayed to the one true living God to strengthen the bridge until they made it across the canyon. The other side of the canyon seemed to move farther and farther away and the chasm below them became bottomless to their minds.
They pushed on.
Lloyd looked back to see the distance that they had made to this point and there, also making their way across the bridge, was a pack of blood-hungry dogs.
"This is very disconcerting!" Boyce commented.
"Hold on, Boyce!" Lloyd ordered then stomped his foot on the part of the bridge directly behind them and the shock wave travelled back towards the dogs upsetting the lead dogs balance and footing, forcing them off the bridge and into the chasm. A couple others dropped when Lloyd shot at them, but this seemed to egg-on the other dogs even more.
In seconds the shock wave returned to their side of the bridge making both of them nearly lose their footing.
