He could hear his knuckles pop as he strained to keep his grip on the slippery boulder. Tom thrashed his legs, trying to locate a foothold. He found one just to his right. As he gained his footing, it took some of the strain off his fingers. With his foot in place, Tom took a step up, and began clambering to the top of the boulder. His tired muscles trembled as he watched the mudslide become a slow ooze of debris. Once he was sure the danger was past, he eased himself down to the soggy ground. Tom felt a rush of panic as he looked for Elenna. All around him the hillside was destroyed. Only a few trees were left standing in the muddy wasteland. He wiped the mud from his eyes and walked in circles, looking for his friends. “Tom!” Elenna yelled. She was waist deep in mud, still holding tightly to Storm’s reins. Tom made his way over as they struggled to free themselves from the muck. From the other side of the hill, Silver padded his way over to his muddy companions. The slide had slowed to a crawl.
