Be not afraid

Maria awoke out of a sound sleep with a start; as she tried to work out her unfamiliar surroundings and piece together how she had arrived there, she heard an ominous sound in the distance — a sound she had heard only twice before.

The sound rumbled again. A low, distinct call of a creature so dangerous it had been captured and confined in habitat built especially for it in a remote jungle in Peru. Maria wasn’t even sure exactly where. What idiot built a shelter inside the habitat, and how did she get here?

Maria rose. Blinked. The concrete interior reflected dim moonlight. She began to see the sleeping faces of women just like her. One of them stirred, “oh, you’re awake?” “Yeah… who are you? Do you know where we are?” Maria cautioned. “Ha, don’t you know? We’re food for the beast.”

Alexandria leapt up from the floor "Beast??" Maria said "Yeah, the beast. It takes on the form of a 4-wheeler." Alexandria looked around and saw a 4-wheeler.

"No time like the present!" said Alexandria, bounding toward the 4-wheeler. "You can't!" Maria objected. "Ain't my first rodeo." Alexandria proceeded to tame the beast on every imaginable terrain. When the beast was broken, she put her head on the wheel and slept like a baby.
