It
was a nice morning, the sun was shining the birds were singing,
suddenly a bomb exploded. Mike jumped up from his sleeping bag and
looked around the corner of the little cave he had found yesterday.
There was a large cloud of smoke rising from the east. Mike went back in
the cave and started to gather his gear together, he then looked at his
map
and
thought of which route he should take. Then another explosion went off
and startled him again but this time he just ignored it. “Probably just
bandits” Mike said, “I really don't want to run into them today, i'm
running low on ammunition”. He gathered up the rest of his stuff and
left the cave making sure nothing had been left behind and headed west
away from the smoke cloud. It was about 12:00 pm when he left and he
still has not run into any place worthy of scavenging and now his food
supply is low. As he was walking he heard a faint noise of a stream or
at least he hoped it was, he followed the noise step after step it grew
louder and the more excited he finally got there and it was real a fresh
stream and it even had fish. He wanted to set up his stuff here and
spend the rest of the day taking everything that was here but feared
that there could be bandits on the same trail by now. But after an hour
of studying the area he found a little ditch in the ground wide enough
to sleep where nobody could see him. After that he spent the rest of the
day gathering water and catching fish. It was now about 5:00 pm and it
was getting dark, even though Mike only made out with 6 fish he still
thought he did good, he put his gear and food away and went to bed.
