Don&#8217;t be silly, Gale&#8221; I said, sounding more confident than I was. The truth was, I was terrified approaching hysterical\/about to pee my pants with fright. But I couldn&#8217;t give up. This was for my family. I saw a cave. It was about the size what the humans call Mt. Everest or whatever it is. &#8220;We can rest there, in that cave,&#8221; I said, pointing to the huge area of shadows and darkness. &#8220;I dunno, Georgie. It looks kind of dangerous. Like big monsters are ready to pop out at any second and kill us with one bite, and we&#8217;ll be dead forever and nobody will know what happened to us and then-&#8221; I cut Gale off, irritated that he would mention such a terrifying thing. &#8220;Stop it, Gale! Why are you trying to scare us?!&#8221; I exclaimed, irritated. &#8220;Let&#8217;s just go inside!
