Lost in the Wood
It was a beautiful sunny day with white clouds sailing in the blue sky. I kept walking,
enjoying the breeze blowing in my face. Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly realized it was now
very dark and I was lost in a forest so deep where I could not even see the stars. So there I stood,
not knowing about my surroundings in a strange place I had never been before. Being in a dark
forest by myself with nothing but a flashlight and a pocket knife, I had to do whatever it took to
survive.
I knew the first thing I had to do was to find a shelter, a safe place from any hungry
animals. Next, I would need to find a food source rich enough to last until I could find a way out
of this forest, so I started looking for a perfect …show more content…
I quickly climbed up
of the big tree behind my tent. The wolf rushed my way, but with me being high on the tree he
couldn’t reach me. I stayed up there for most of the night, and left shortly before day break.
With a long night behind me, I decided to relax and take a short nap before I started my
second day lost in the woods on my own. After resting, I got up and tried to catch some more
fish again, but I couldn’t catch any because they were gone. I was starving. I had a couple of the
fruits I picked the other night and ate them. After eating and still hungry, I set out to look for
some food. I found an injured deer unable to move. I thought to myself, this would give me a lot
of meat to survive, plus I could use the hide from it as a cover during the cold and chilly nights.
With the deer still alive suffering from his injury, I had to put it out of its misery. I choked him to
death. I don’t know how long that poor thing was sitting there suffering, but I looked at it like a
mercy killing. The fresh meet from the deer was just what I needed to feed myself for a couple of
days. With having the deer meet slaughtered, I began to scatter the rest of the deer’s body in …show more content…
After getting a rid of the rest of the deer’s body, I took
the hide and the meat back to my tent. After cooking and eating the meet, I relaxed for a while
and started day dreaming in my tent.
With the second day coming to an end, and the sun setting in the distance, I decided to
build a signal fire up, hoping it would be seen by someone. Then I slept hoping for someone to
find me. While sleeping I heard a loud noise, louder than the howl from the wolf. As I was
looking around to see what it might be, I could see a helicopter coming my way. I quickly threw
more leaves on my fire to boost the brightness, so they could see me. A light quickly shined on
me. I had been found. Tear-filled my eyes because I knew soon I would be back home.
While this had been a challenging adventure, it’s the one I will hold dear to my heart. I
will never be able to fully describe how this experience changed my life. I guess in a way it
showed me how people lived many centuries ago and taught me not to take things for granted. I
still use my deer skin blanket to this day. It reminds the time I spent alone with myself in the
nature. Being lost in the woods may seem like a nightmare to some people, as it was for me
