CHAPTER-2

...It was already noon and the moment I woke up,...

...my stomach ached due to intense hunger and...

...thirst. The blanket that I used last night helped me...

...greatly at night. I took a sip from my bottle and...

...ate a piece of meat that I fried yesterday....

...Hopefully the meat hadn't spoiled. I knew that the...

...water won't last forever, and I should find a water...

...source sooner....

Since I had plenty of time, I decided to go look for

 it. I was sure it was somewhere near since the

 soil was wet. I started walking to find it. I knew it

 would not be so difficult to come back since

 anyone could smell from miles away. And after

 walking for some time, I found a stream. I drank

 for some time and took off my dress and jumped

 straight into it.

It was so refreshing that I even forgot how much

 time I sat there. I even managed to catch some

 fish which I ate. Time flew very fast and it was

 almost night. I thought of sleeping right there

 since the fire was nearby, and I am a little afraid

 of the dark especially in the wild. So I did not

 dare to go back. At first, it was warm with the fire,

 but later the fire went off, and I started freezing.

I hoped I had gone back earlier,,, but it is too late

 right now. I started thinking about my family

 hoping nothing bad happened to them. I started

 crying asking myself why I have to go through all

 this. I started missing my bed, my blanket, all

 that electronic stuff and all other things. After

 crying for so long, I slept somehow.

The next day…

I woke up earlier than last night, and it means I

 need to find food for the morning too. Last night I

 had a dream where my parents told me this:

'Arthur, don't lose hope. We will meet one day'

Even though it was just a dream it gave me hope

 that I would meet them. I started to think about

 all the wild survival things that I had seen on TV.

I drank some water and filled my bottle. I went

 back to take a look at my bag which is in the

 center of the zone. I walked straight following the

 smell and I found that the zone is just a few

 meters away from the stream and I spent much

 less time going back to the zone than to the

 stream. Then I realized that I was just walking

 around the zone before finding the stream

 yesterday.

Anyway, I decided to write a diary in order to never

 forget how to write and read if I am somehow

 transported to the future just like I came to the

 past. I started walking to the forest determined to

 fill my stomach. I took my bag along with me to

 collect some fruits. And while I was walking, I

 saw some fruits I had not ever seen. Even though

 it is my first time seeing those, I ate it hoping it

 would be edible.

On the way, I cut some tree vines using a sharp

 ended stone. While moving forward I saw a

 grassland where a goat was eating. I moved

 towards it quietly and pounced on it before it

 could notice me. I choked it with all my strength,

 but I still could not kill it then I suddenly

 remembered about the stone. I took it in my

 hands and plunged it into its skull with all my

 might. I stabbed it several times to ensure it was

 dead because its skull was sturdier than I

 thought.

After killing, I dragged the carcass back to the

 zone. After a long time I managed to skin and

 butcher it. At that time I found a small stone from

 its stomach area. It was beautiful but suspicious,

 so I decided to keep it with me. I decided to make

 clothes using it for cold seasons. After putting

 some small pieces of fat that I got from the goat

 into my lunch box, I melted it by putting on a fire.

I stored the oil that I got in a small bottle, which

 was empty but was used for storing medicine

 before.

While eating the meat fried in oil, I found a

 mushroom near a tree. For some reason it was

 attractive and without thinking twice I ate it along

 with the meat. After eating it a sudden pain

struck me and I felt as if my whole body was

burning from inside. I drank so much water after

getting to the stream, but the sensation of burning

didn'tstop.

It felt as if my muscles were being torn apart.

 After enduring sometime I lost my conscience. I

 woke up from my deep sleep some hours later.

 When I tried to move a deep pain struck me. But

 later my pain slowly reduced. I noticed that my

 body somehow seems to be lighter than usual. I

 jumped and I reached higher than before. I

 guessed that it was from the mushroom that I

 ate.

I climbed up a tree, and it felt very easy. Then I ate

 some fruits and walked towards the stream. On

 my way I decided to make a simple house

 because I have gotten tired of sleeping on the

 ground. I restored my bottle and went back to the

 zone. I started to look for something sharp

 enough to cut some wood. After some time I

 found one, and even though with some effort I

 managed to cut one.

It was far from perfect, but I thought it could still

 do the work. Cutting with my hand is so tiring, so

I decided to make a handle to my axe. I rubber the

 stone on a rock to make it sharp. Then I tore off a

 piece of my pants which already had many holes

 in it. I found a pretty strong stick nearby, and tied

 them up making a stone axe. I cut the log in half

 to make a roof for my house. Before long the sun

 set and I decided to resume my work the next

 day..
