Creepy Crawlies

Ragna scooted along through the mangroves, her eyes searching tor the bowl that had fallen off her travois when she and her husband had traveled through the area. She wasn't terribly thrilled to be back. There were all kinds of odd creatures in this land that she didn't care to see again. Something orange caught her attention and she saw one of her bowls sticking up out of the mud. Aha! Ragna scooted along a large mangrove root as she worked her way to the edge. Leaning forward she stretched out her neck and seized the edge of the bowl in her teeth. She had just lifted her head up when a massive saltwater crocodile launched up out of the water. She shrieked and dropped her bowl into the water where it swiftly sank but at least she'd managed to pull herself away from the snapping jaws.
