Bear Story- kill something with your worst fear

Leaves crunched under the paws of the hefty creature. A soft growl rumbled slowly outside the thin tent. Darkness had fallen. The woman sat perfectly still. She tried to hold her breath; she did not exhale. She worried the beast would hear her heart beat- a great drum. She could hear the beast rummaging through her camping equipment near the fire pit. She was clueless about what to do next. Her mind sorted through possible escapes, but her body did not move. She sat frozen. The animal circled the tent... then stopped behind her. She could feel it's hot, heavy breath down her neck as it seeped through the thin tent. She was not safe there. The animal growled- then there was complete silence. One moment passed. Suddenly, there was an enormous roar. A heavy paw smashed down on the side of her face. Her head bashed the ground with great force. The tent ripped. She could see nothing in the dark of the night.
