Technically I'm still on time, the comment was posted 18 hours ago! I didn't see it yesterday, slept and forgot.
I have a pistol (no ammo), a backup food supply, I ate on Day 2 Round 2 and for this round I choose option 1.
No worries @papa-pepper. Family always comes first.
I couldn’t believe it but the tree that I climbed into was a lime tree and they were delicious. The tartness of them twisted my jaw into knots of pain and pleasure. Even though they were unbelievably tart and probably under-ripe, I don’t think I have ever eaten something so amazing. After getting into the tree, I felt very relaxed, well as relaxed as a man can be in the middle of an apocalypse. The sleep was almost immediate and thankfully the dream didn’t cause me to fall to my death.
The dream was of her, Kai. Her beautiful brown hair and crystal blue eyes. We were back at our home before everything fell apart. She was standing in the kitchen the sun sparkled off her immaculate bronze skin. She didn’t say anything. She just smiled at me and my heart began to melt once more. She was everything to me.
Then the window, above the sink, behind her began to darken and shift. The ceiling began to bleed, leaving puddles of thick blood on the floor. Kai was no longer smiling and looked horrified. Her clothes were and in rags. The blood on the floor started to spread towards her. When it touched her foot, she screamed and tears exploded from her eyes, magnifying the blue, making them look god-like. Then she was gone sucked into the blood. Just gone, never to be found. I tried to scream for her but there were no words. The air around me began to heat up and everything started to shimmer.
KAI! I screamed in my head and still nothing. I turned into circles searching for her. As I turned to face the direction of the ever-growing puddle of blood, that sucked her in, she was there. She was directly in front of me and I could feel her breath on my face. It had a metallic scent.
“WHY!” she screamed and I could feel a pressure in my head. “WHY DID YOU LET ME GO? WHY?” I could feel the floor shaking and then, “WHY? WHY? WHY?W…” I woke up sweat pouring out of me and my heart pounding.
After I realized it was only a dream and regained my composure, I started to move on again. It felt good to get some sleep, even though it was a horrible dream, my body appreciated it very much. The sun was hot today, so after I got down the road a little ways I figured I would take a little break under a tree. The shade is a wonderful thing. I sat at the base of the tree and enjoyed the silence for a minute, when something caught my eye next to me. It was a worm burrowing itself back into the ground. That’s weird, I thought. The dirt looked like it had been tampered with and recently. So, I started to dig.
I have one back-up food supply. I ate limes in a tree and have a unloaded pistol. I choose option 1.
Option One--I have a pistol & 1 backup food supply (beans). I already ate some limes in the tree. :)
The trees were a good choice. Sleep was deep and more comfortable than I expected. Plus, when I woke up, I discovered the tree had delicious, juicy limes growing in it. They made an excellent post-nap snack for me and my companions.
I am also happy that my companions who chose to stay on the ground in the bushes and in the makeshift pallet sheds are also still with us.
Well-fed, and with a backup of food in the form of a can of beans, as well as an unloaded pistol in my bag, I gather up my group, and we head out into the countryside.
We're still reluctant to go into the woods, though it would be safer, as there could still be resources around the edge of town. After a while, we pause in the shade to rest, as it's getting pretty hot outside. I almost miss our old building, but it honestly wasn't much cooler without electricity and AC.
While leaning against a tree in the shade, I notice the grass isn't growing too thickly here, probably because the leaves don't allow much sunlight on this spot. Squirrels could have hidden some nuts in the dirt; even acorns would be a welcome, edible commodity at this point. There may even be an edible root down there, or, if I'm very luck, a root vegetable.
There's no harm in checking, and the reward might be great. Besides, it won't be any great exertion to dig a few inches here in the shade. We need all the supplies we can get after all.
Kneeling down, I sink my fingernails into the soft, sandy soil, and pull it out of the ground, looking for hidden treasure.
I have a pistol & 1 backup food supply, I'll choose option 1 this round.
I have eaten some limes in the tree to avoid starvation.
I have a Magnesium Firestarter & 1 backup food supply. I choose Option 1!
I slept and ate berries. I have a pistol and jerky and I'll dig in the dirt option 1
