With no small amount of annoyance Balsam glared down at the alligator who now swam between him and freedom. He'd been treed by the scaly reptile. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem because he was happier in the trees anyway, but this particular tree stood alone. Nothing but water and roots that were too small to support his weight surrounded him for at least a dozen yards. While the water wasn't deep and he could reach the bottom with ease, he didn't think he was faster than an alligator and he didn't think he could make it to the nearest tree.

Perhaps if he could draw its attention away from him he could get a head start.

After glancing around and finding nothing, Balsam settled on chewing a branch off the tree. He then climbed down until he was on a branch he felt comfortable jumping from. After looking around for the alligator, the boy then throw the stick over his shoulder. It landed with a loud splash behind him and Balsam, fully expecting the gator to go after it, very nearly threw himself into the water. Thankfully he managed to stop himself because the alligator, clearly smarter than it looked, was still looking at him.

Balsam sighed. Now what?
