Each day a surprise

The fog was a surprise and Nico slowed his steps.  Not being able to see or smell anything around a stranger potentially stronger and faster than you wasn’t the best scenario.  The ground started to feel different than he recalled it feeling and the coyote started thinking something was wrong. Could he trust this guide?

Then the sulphur scent came to his nose, scrunching it up in surprise he was about to take another step when the guide stopped him.  “huh? Wha…?” Then Nico looked down, taking an extra half-step back as realization dawned on him.  “oh, thanks!”  Wow – wait until he told all his friends about this.  Curiosity gnawed at him to see wht else was ahead.

Nico followed the guide’s motion to the bridge, “perfect!  Lets go!” Nico didn’t bother worrying about what could go wrong and quickly darted to the bridge.  Going slow was a practical idea but not one for Nico.  The coyote was focused on his balance and made his way forward.  He stayed aware of where he was setting his weight even as his mind tried to guess where this would lead.  The other guy was coming, right?  No time to turn your head and check now though.
