Gorillas move on
The gorillas sniffed around the tree but eventually moved on, and Elliot stayed as still as possible.
He felt a sigh of relief wanting to escape, but he knew it wasn’t the right time yet. The rustling of foliage and the heavy breathing of the gorillas started to fade away.
Slowly, Elliot began to regain his composure, though his nerves were still on edge from the close call.
