The branch snaps with a gut-wrenching crack. For a split second, you’re airborne—then gravity takes hold. You twist mid-fall, instinct kicking in as the jungle floor rushes up to meet you. With a jarring thud, you hit the ground and roll, leaves and dirt flying as you absorb the impact. Pain flares in your shoulder. You’re bruised, breathless, and lucky to be alive. Somewhere nearby, something snarls—your fall didn’t go unnoticed.
