Excerpt from The Man in the Box:
Robbie turned to the trees and strained his eyes to see what Hail was looking at. Sitting in front of the overgrown wild plants was the largest rat he had ever seen. It was at least two feet tall, and its dark brown fur was plastered down to its head. Small black eyes peered intently at Robbie. Sitting up on its beefy hind legs, it showed great interest in the two strange people peering down at it.
“It’s an agouti,” informed Hail. “They’re rare, and sort of belong to the rat family. Cute, huh?”
“Cute” was not the first thing that came to Robbie’s mind. Let’s face it, a rat is a rat.
But before he could say anything, an oversized lizard bounded out of the bushes on its hind legs and attacked the agouti from behind. It stretched its long neck over the rodent’s head and bit its face as the rat squirmed and shrieked like a flag on a pole flapping wildly in the wind.
The lizard was about five feet long from head to tail and as tall as the agouti. It flipped its meal over to devour it from the neck down in just a few large bites, tugging on the meat that stuck to the bones with its long, sharp teeth.
Hail grabbed Robbie’s arm and pulled him along. “Let’s go.”
“That looked like a dinosaur,” said Robbie.
“That was an eoraptor,” said Hail, not slowing down. “There will be others around and they’ll kill us if they can attack us as a group. They get bigger the deeper into the jungle we go.”
“How big?” asked Robbie.
“Huge. Haven’t you seen them before?”
“No,” he answered. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had somehow been taken back to the prehistoric era.
