The clock ticked down as twenty-two beings breathed heavily. They were almost finished ninety-nine out of one hundred. They just needed that one cat. So many people in deep tunnels. Many teams of four and a few teams of two. Scurrying through the rock paths to find the shiny sabertooth. Many a ball flew, but the sabertooth did not shine.

Tick tock, tick tock went the clock. Thirty minutes left in a twenty-four hour span. They had caught the elusive pink fairy and the golden bringer of happiness. But the orange sabertooth did not show. Not a single sparkle.

Twenty minutes left, and the beings were talking in their respective chats. They had created a system to make sure it got done efficiently. Yet, no sabertooth shined. They had obtained the blue-plumed water purifier and the black-crested volcano erupter. The third of the trio decided not to show.

Ten minutes left, and things were getting hectic. People were getting upset that they weren't finding the sabertooth. Pretty much everyone was looking for the orange sabertooth. Yet, it did not yield.

Five minutes left, and people were trying to get to the sabertooth as soon as possible. People rushed, strategies forgotten at this point. Many people were trying not to pull their own hairs out. Yet, the sabertooth did not come…

Three, two, one… Many sabertooths were caught, maybe one would shine. One after another were checked. They were all yellow, not the shiny orange they craved. They… The 22 people had failed… Hopefully, their next stop wouldn't be so heartbreaking… But for now, we wait for that fateful day until we get that orange sabertooth.
