Why not

He awoke to darkness all around.Where am I he thought ,and how did i get here. His memory was doing him no favor .He knew by deduction that he was on the ground he felt the grass ,smelt the dirt . Where in the world was he . His mind raced around looking for any flash of memory it could find ,but his thoughts were still sluggish .Have i been drugged ,knocked out ,or suffered some sort of stroke he thought .Making his way to his feet he took several deep breaths hoping that would clear his head .Suddenly he knew he was being watched ,by what he wasn't sure.I have to be quiet he said to himself ,that way maybe i will be able to hear where i am being watched from .He stood as still as he could ,listening .In the darkness he heard no sound ,how odd he thought no crickets chirping ,no night bird songs ,nothing but total silence .A cold shiver went down his spine ,this was not good .Fear had not crept in ,it had leaped like a jaguar on its prey .He had learned once that fear creates two type of response in every creature.Either fight or flight .His head swooned ,he was dizzy with fear .How can you fight what you cannot see ,how can you run when you don't know where you are ,or where your going .He steadied himself once more using all the mental strength he could .Maybe I can reason with whatever is watching me he thought . Hello is anybody there he said with a voice that sounded very small and frail to himself.Where are we? He then asked . The only return he got back was silence . Then after a few seconds that seamed to drag by like a long train at a railroad crossing .He knew in his heart that this was the end of the line .He looked up to a moonless sky ,he then realized how black the darkness was no stars shown .He heard movement all around .Whatever they were .They were circling him with an astounding speed and getting closer with each orbit around him. NO! He yelled . They were on him now he could feel razor sharp teeth tearing away at his clothes ,soon it would be his flesh .WHY!He screamed .At that moment all movement stopped .And a voice as ancient and devoid of sympathy .Whispered the last sound the man would ever hear in this life.The ancient voice said ,why not.
