Topic 21: Survivalist

“What Would You Do To Survive Alone On An Island?”

I would probably have to prepare. I would hopefully have honed my skills enough to discern what is ok and what is not ok to eat. I would probably first have to make some tools. Maybe a sharpened stick, a knife out of a rock, a club for clubbin’ things. I would need some shelter too, so with my newly fashioned tools in hand I would see if there was any naturally occurring shelters like caves. If not I would try to make a makeshift hut out of some thatch. After I secured some of the barest of essentials I would probably be pretty tired and take a nap. After being well rested I would now have to go find some food, maybe some animals to hunt. After the animals are slain I would probably need a fire. I would gather some dried out old wood, maybe some beach logs. I would have to have some way to start this a blaze. I would probably get some thin twigs and try to slowly heat them up. After I got a fire and everything I would probably just chill for a bit. Surviving is pretty tough work. After many days of getting it down pat I would most likely do some headier stuff like come up with ways to get back to civilization. I would probably design a sweet raft and then do that and accumulate the proper provisions. After it is all said and done I would probably get back and be so much stronger for it.

Topic 20: Shadowy Figures

“You Hear A Noise & There Is A Sudden Flash…”

Wha…where am I? My eyes burn from the intensity and brightness of the light shining right at my eyes. What in the world just happened? Ok, calm down, where was I last? It seems like everything I have ever known is just slurring together. It seems impossible to discern when and how events even took place. I am paralyzed. A silhouette of a man is standing above me. Another joins him. They seem to be talking, but everything is muffled beyond comprehension. I feel a small prick. Who areee thhoooossseemmennn…….

Topic 19: Urban Exploration

“Favorite Thing To Do In A City”

Whenever I get to a city, after the initial shock of being in the city, I like to go exploring. If it’s a really big city, e.g., Chicago, New York City, I like to take a device that will take me back safely. However if it’s a new smallish city I like to try and get lost. You can find some of the coolest stuff when you stray off the beaten path and are not looking for anything in particular. That’s how I have learned every place I have lived in. Just get lost and you will find exactly what you are looking for.
