Kace was ready to go. He saw the pendulum swing, he could beat it....then he tripped over his foot. He then saw the pendulum come towards him and he stood there wide eyed,

O________O........

WHOMPPPP

The pendulum hit him and he sort of went backward into the snow pile. He even managed to get some into his mouth. He coughed but it all melted so no harm done. He got up and started to run and do his orbit. He ran so fast he narrowly missed it again. Wheww....that was a CLOSE one. Then he began to feel the coldness in the air. He was shivering and then he felt the snowflakes fall onto his head. He shook them out and was smiling. He even opened his mouth to catch them.

He then smelt the firewood burning smell. He loved that smell. He even made some footprints in the snow. He had to focus! He was beginning to go into a running position. He didn't wanna get hit again.
