Washed Ashore. Food, Water, Shelter, Life.

Sam

That's decided then... I'll walk in-land for a bit. Then I'll change direction. If I keep the Ocean's edge in my line of sight at the same distance I should be walking parallel to the ocean's edge so I can go back if I need...

Sam

45 Minutes later... Ahhhh Shit....

Sam

I'm so sick of walking...

Sam

This body of mine is tired and sore.

Sam

I can still see the Ocean. I think if I start walking parallel to it now I will have a better chance of finding suitable drinking water and hopefully locate some berries or food sources.

Sam

*sitting down next to a tree she knows has edible berries* This little guy can be my turning point for my mind's new mapping system.

Sam

It's my lucky tree totem... It's feeding me berries, sheltering me for a bit so I can rest, and I can use it to locate where I've walked in from the Ocean's Edge.

Sam

So, My plan from here is still to walk a bit and hope that I find food, water and shelter for Night before my body breaks down completely I've found 7 dead bodies so far as I have been walking along. None of them had any life signs. Normally I would try to bury them or give me them some form of goodbye ritual, but I am too broken myself right now.

Sam

I said a "final resting goodbye prayer" for each and just kept walking the best I can for now.

Sam

My silent prayers are no longer silent. If I am the only live person I figure I can yell, dance or swear as I like because no one will hear me anyway.....

Sam

Actually, the louder I am - the more chance of someone else finding me...

Sam

So I did start to yell and curse for quite some time...

Sam

But that just made me get tired quicker....

Sam

So I decided I don't have the energy right now to yell too loudly....

Sam

I'm also worried about other animals that may prey on me if I am too loud.

Sam

So I have been chanting quite sincere prayer chants as I walk along - hoping the universe will help me provide...

Sam

🙏 Food 🙏 Water 🙏 Shelter 🙏 At least 1 alive person

Sam

*crying silently again at the hopelessness of my situation* It would be easier to be one of these dead bodies. They are lucky that they don't have to fight life anymore.

Sam

*moving from sitting position to laying down* Perhaps....

Sam

*Getting as comfortable lying down as my tired, sore, broken body can get* That's all I am capable of right now...

Sam

*closing my eyes to sleep* I don't want to fight anyone anymore....
