An Unusual Friendship

Write about forming an unexpected friendship with a jungle creature while surviving in the wilderness.

Through this prompt, one can explore themes such as empathy, companionship and the bond between animals and humans. How does one communicate and build trust with a creature when language is a barrier? How would the creature’s behavior change or influence the human on this wilderness experience? This narrative could be an exploration of our relationship with wildlife, and how, at our core, humans and animals aren’t that different after all.
