I understand this is an absurd question, but it intrigues me. Let's estimate my age here; what do you think? Also, I've posted this passage several times before, so don't be confused and/or annoyed if you've seen it before.
A sound resonated from somewhere above him. Jack whipped up his head, allowing his searching gaze to sweep over the rooftops only for a brief moment; a second longer and his exposed neck would have been pierced by the twisted horns of the wild boar. As it were, he managed, through a stupendous display of gymnastic ability, to launch rightwards in a barrel roll, tumbling into the prickling grass, but safely out of the beast’s lethal charge. His newfound security was short-lived however, as the gruesome animal, picking up the pace of its swift hooves, charged at him again. This time, still sprawled on the grassy patch, he was even more vulnerable then before. His face, right in front of the boar, was rolling around in the dirt. The powdered earth swirled into his mouth and seeped into his nostrils, which, in his fear, were blowing air like those of a great and terrible dragon. He couldn’t breath.
