The ground started to shake more and more violently as the two girls got closer and closer. Knowing that he couldn’t delay it any longer Jordan stood back up and started moving toward Dayton and Nicolle. The only plausible idea he had was hiding on them. The only challenging part would be he would first need to get behind them. As ideally, he would like to grab onto the heel of their shoes.
As Jordan moved forward the footfalls jarred him from left to right continually knocking him off course. Debris and old grass cut long ago would get knocked up into his periphery. It was shocking how different the world was down here. Dayton and Nicolle were blissfully unaware of the trauma they were causing.
A thought he had just realized was all of this walking about was also causing bugs and god only knows what else to stir and move above. Just because he hadn’t seen anyway yet doesn’t mean that they weren’t around.
Grasping onto one of the tree-like pieces of grass Jordan tried to stabilize himself as best he could. Either girl was mere feet from him as he stood at the base of giant dandelion. Looking at it from his vantage point it was sickening that this simple weed might as well have been a California Redwood. It stood well above the surrounding grass. It forced him to move around it.
The whole process was annoying. As it just wasted more time. Jordan could see both girls approaching and he knew that he needed to get past them. He could try to go left or right and circle around them but he was fearful it would take too much time at this point. So he would end up just getting uncovered by one of their shoes.
Jordan pushed forward drawing closer and closer. The amount of wind being created by Nicolle and Dayton was incredible. The sound of the grass breaking was reminiscent of trees and branching cracking in a violent wind. What was once old dead grass being kicked up from the floor is now bright green blades of grass being ripped from the ground by the swipe of their feet. Seeing giant treelike blades of grass crashing down around him gave him pause for the first time.
“Do I just give up and try to get their attention? This is getting more dangerous than I thought.” Jordan said aloud to himself. As if all this led to him getting injured it was pointless.
