"I-I didn't mean no harm, madam.." I utter. I get no response, only dead silence from the two monsters staring at each other.

"I mean... I got some field rations in my g-good ol' back satchel!", reaching for my bag. Pulling out a standard field MRE. Eggs, Bacon, and Ham, the pinnacle of adventure food. The meantime glares down at me, still in silence. She impaled the MRE, then chucking it so far away I lost sight of it.

Then I remembered something. I have easy-light fire crackers in my bag. I subtlety pull them out, run the wick across my jeans, and drop it behind the mantis. After a few seconds, the firecracker goes off with a loud POP! This frightens the mantis so violently, she briefly let's go of me. Without a second thought, I book it. I run faster than I ever have in my entire existence.
