Close Call

The wall looked impossible to climb from the ground below. Yet the goats moved step by step as if gravity didn’t exist.

The hyena tried to pull away but something was holding it tight. In a bizarre moment the tortoise refused to let go no matter how hard it struggled.

The photographer waited at the tunnel exit expecting a dramatic shot. No one expected the motorcycle to explode out of the darkness doing a wheelie only inches away.

The visitor leaned closer to capture a funny moment. The monkey watched the phone carefully from the branch. Suddenly it jumped toward the fence reaching its arm through the bars. The visitor pulled the phone back instantly. It missed the grab by just a few inches.

The trail ran dangerously close to the edge of the mountain. One rider suddenly lost traction on loose gravel. The bike began sliding straight toward the cliff. For a split second it looked like the rider would go over the edge. Somehow they caught the balance just in time.

The trail was narrow and covered with loose rocks. One wrong step sent several stones sliding downhill. Within seconds the rocks were bouncing across the path. The hiker pressed against the cliff to avoid them. The small rock slide passed just inches away.

The fisherman thought he had finally caught something big. The fish struggled near the surface as everyone leaned over the railing to watch. Suddenly the water exploded beside the pier. A shark lunged out and snapped at the fish. In seconds the calm fishing trip turned into a heart-stopping moment.

The officers were focused on finishing a routine roadside arrest. Suddenly yone dove for the ground.

Everyone at the ramp expected the boat to slow down before docking. Instead it kept racing toward the trailer at full speed. In seconds the boat slammed into the metal frame and launched upward. Water exploded everywhere as it crashed onto the truck. The crowd stood frozen watching the chaos.
