My entry for the contest being held by the lovely :iconitalysky:


Rider: Cado
Bull: Fear Me


--- o --- o --- o --- o ---



He had been anxiously pacing back and forth behind the chute, waiting for when it was time that he hop on that bull. Why was he here? He'd never ridden such a beast before. In fact, he'd never even toyed with the mechanical ones. Sure, he'd ridden a few crazy horses before, but, bulls were different, right?

It was time. He'd been ushered toward the brindle beast in the chute. Boy, Cado hoped that the name wasn't some awful precursor. Maybe, hopefully, it was like naming a chiuahuah Killer. Sounds tough, looks tough, but when push comes to shove, you're pretty darn safe.

Slowly, almost as if hoping the bull wouldn't be able to tell he was doing it, Cado lowered himself onto the beast's back. Hands hurried to get him set up, his hand tied down to the creature beneath him. Then, the gate swung open, and the bull took off.

The exact maneuvers performed were unknown to Cado. It seemed that the only thing happening was him holding on for dear life. Everything else was a blur. There was no way he was going to let go. Cado's legs gripped onto the bull, taking every movement. That was, until the beast managed to rip him away from his seat, throwing his balance off.

That would have been fine and dandy, except for the small problem he faced now. Sure, he had come off the bull, but, his hand remained underneath that rope. Cado cursed under his breath as he reached over with his free hand, trying to loosen himself from the wild beast. Sure, it didn't sound so hard at first, but when the animal is moving around, and one is trying to keep up without getting trampled, it adds so many dimensions of crazy, it's hard to fathom.

After what seemed like an eternity, Cado managed to break himself free of the bull. Sure, his hand was amazingly sore, but he was still able to book it toward the fence. He dared not look back, for he knew that if he did, Cado would surely see that bull chasing after him. It was perhaps the best climbing he'd ever done as he sailed over the fence. No need to stick around in that arena any longer than needed. Not with that bull. Not without a death wish.
