Day 4 - The System

I think I have created a system for my new life. I wake up, search for food, search for other resources, and then I use the last bit of my day to work on my shelter. I still haven't found any hint of civilization nearby. Maybe one of these days I'll gather up enough resources, and start walking. I would have to find something like that, wouldn't I? Oh well. That thought is for another day. And this day has been for crafting. I managed to carve an entire axe out of wood, using a few rocks. You can imagine how long that took me, but I have a feeling it will be worth it in the long run. I'm planning on testing it out on a few trees tomorrow. That should give me more time to search for resources, and it should last a while; being carved out of solid wood like that.

Day 3 - Food

I finally got some food. I'm not proud of what I've done, but I couldn't hold it in much longer. At about the middle of the day, I found a wild cow grazing next to a pond. Only seeing steaks, I grabbed the biggest rock that I could find, and bashed it. I just kept hitting it until it was dead, and then I claimed my winnings: sweet, sweet meat. I had no way to cook the meat, so I simply cut off some raw pieces and ate them. You may think it sounds disgusting, but after being lost and hungry like I was...you lose track of wrong and right. Of taste, of control, of everything you never think about in everyday life. I even forgot that I had a life before this. All that mattered was then and there, and I suppose that's still all that matters. Being lost and alone makes you think like this. But in other news, I've started to expand my shelter more. I made a door; hinges and all, that works properly, and I've completely covered the outside of the cave with wood. It makes a very good shelter, but I think I may extend it soon. Right now I'm working on crafting a short sword. A sharp object has to be better than a random blunt one in gathering food.

Day 2 - Accepted

Today I finally learned that I'm going to have to deal with not having my memories for a while. What matters is here and now; anything after, whatever it may be, can wait. For better or worse. But onward to the journal part.. I've been building up my shelter. It is now a little cave with a wooden wall. It has a hole just big enough for me to crawl out of it. With some of the noises I've been hearing at night, I need to work on building a door of some sort. I managed to create a nice little "workbench", so to speak, out of some of the local pine I've gathered. I'm slowly, but surely working on a door. I still haven't eaten anything, and the hunger is beginning to get to me...I think I may go hunting sometime tomorrow. I know I've seen some wild cows and pigs around, and I'm pretty sure I saw a chicken running around. I have no way to cook any meat I get...but that doesn't matter. I have a hunger, and food is what I need right now.

Day 1 - Lost, Forgotten, and Confused

These "Journal" things are supposed to start with an introduction, aren't they? I would love to create a journal like everyone else, but I seemed to have misplaced my memory. Yes, you read right: my memory is gone. I woke up this morning in the middle of the woods with nothing but the clothes on my back, and a pocket-sized book with a pencil. I climbed to the top of a nearby tree to find out where the hell I was at, but all I saw in the distance was more forests, a beach, and mountains. No sign of civilization for miles. That worried me because it was starting to get dark. I walked over to one of the mountains and found a nice little cave to hide in for the night. It wasn't too deep or roomy, but it'll do. I found some wood and made some torches for my cave today. I took some flint that I found, and lit them. Hopefully they'll last through the night. I also started building a wall of wood on the outside of my cave to hopefully keep out whatever is prowling around at night. I'm hungry...tomorrow I need to find food of some sort. I need resources.
