Not this one!
Jack
2 hrs later...
*silently and stealthily moving to the tree he has been collecting berries to eat from*
(I have collected enough water and enough food supplies for myself to last me 3 days at the shelter I set up...
I just have berries left)
Jack
*warning alert internally in my brain as I approach the tree*
There is something different about the berry tree today.
Jack
From this distance it looks like its outline is slightly changed from its normal outline.
Jack
I need to approach with caution...
Jack
*slowly and cautiously approaches the berry tree*
Jack
It definitely wasn't there yesterday when I collected berries...
Jack
Or this morning when I walked past ...
Jack
*slowly but definitely interested*
Jack
I can not believe it!
Jack
It looks like a person...
Jack
*running closer and taking a better look*
Jack
*excited*
It's really another person.
Jack
If it wasn't there yesterday or this morning it means it's moved there by itself....
Jack
*Excited about that thought...
But also terrified*
I really hope it's an alive human that can walk itself...
I also know how terrifying human's can be.
If it's one capable of killing and resentment I may be better off without it...
Jack
*collects berries and puts inside crude, self-made carrying pouch on back*
Jack
*walks around the body at the berry tree looking at it*
It is definitely human...
Jack
Why does it seem so familiar?
Jack
*gently feels for heartbeat and breath*
OMG!
It's got a heartbeat and it's breathing life.
Jack
*warning signs everywhere in his internal processing systems*
(My brain is alerting me this is a familiar danger and I need to escape immediately)
Jack
*warning signs everywhere in his internal processing systems*
(My gut feeling is telling me that I need to silently and stealthily retreat)
Jack
*Every instinct in my body is screaming!*
(Not this one ...
Even if it's alive ...
Walk away!)
Jack
*with intentions to slowly and silently retreat away from the alive body under the tree he takes one step away from the body*
Jack
*still looking at it with 100% certainty that walking away is the safest option*
Jack
*noticing it silently crying in its huddled sleeping position as it chanting a series of prayers*
Sam
*huddled sleeping body silently crying and quietly chanting in sleep*
🙏 Food, Water, Shelter, Life,
🙏 I don't want to fight anymore.
Jack
*quietly cursing while watching body*
Damn it!
Why did I have to see it!
Jack
*ignores all internal processing systems alerting him of danger*
Jack
*picks up the sleeping body and carries it back to the cave he found yesterday and has been using as shelter*
