LIFEBOOK

Episode 2

The twilight rays hit my face, blocked by the tall trees. The countless trees danced in a warm twilight.

The birds flew between the orange hills in the twilight, so beautiful that I didn't realize the sun had sunk, before I prepared myself for the dark night.

As usual, I immediately rushed to look for dry wood to burn. It was so hard to find firewood at night, so dark, I could barely see anything. It was as if the light was warm as a dream.

I went back, decided to camp near the river. It would be very easy to fetch water if I was thirsty, and also it would save me strength.

The rest of the dry wood I used to make the fishing rod, I made three, fortunately before leaving I had prepared the thread and hook eyes.

After putting in the bait, I put it on the bank of the river, hoping the big fish would eat it.

My supplies were gone, I seemed to have missed dinner, and I soon fell asleep.

***

In the middle of the night I heard water splashing, I woke up to it. My eyes are heavy, trying to stay alert.

"The fishing!" I cried out to raise myself up.

Sure enough, the fishing catches the fish. I immediately pulled one by one. The fish is not too big, but it is more than enough to fill an empty stomach.

I removed the hook from the fish, cleaned it, and stabbed the fish with the sharpened wood.

I picked up the remaining dry wood, threw it into the dim-looking fire. As the fire grew, I immediately burned the fish I had caught.

"I shouldn't forget to bring salt." I breathe regret.

I stared at the fish that was being burned, while listening to the splashing river water that continued to flow never end in the darkness of the night. There are only beautiful stars burning dimly against the darkness of the night.

I looked up at the sky, a peaceful feeling that extended all over my body. The heat of the fire made me feel comfortable.

Instantly my head was filled with piki ran like, how is mom? Does your sister take good care of your mother? Are they okay with the earthquake?. Immediately disappeared. But there was something stuck about the book, was the earthquake because of the book? Hahaha it's impossible. My head is now filled with strange new thoughts.

Too cool with my daydream, I almost forgot about the fish. "Uwaah, next door hooze"

I immediately picked up the black fish next door because of the charred and ate it.

"Fraight, but is it okay?" I look like a person confused by the taste of that fish.

After finishing the bland and charred fish next to it, I immediately fell asleep again. Before I know the real disaster.

Before, I felt an awkwardness. There was a faint rustling sound of leaves. But I didn't pay much attention to it, and fell asleep

As I fell into a deep sleep, an enormous lion ran and pounced at my feet.

The lion growled as if it would not release its prey. On the other hand I who was almost desperate managed to release the safest of the lions.

I who did not understand what happened, ran away trying to save myself. Sometimes I look back, Lion? Shit I don't seem lucky.

The lion came running after me, very fast as if running away was a futile effort. But I kept trying to run with bloodied legs, running with a limp.

"Go you LION!" I screamed in a roaring voice, my breathing was irregular, my heart was beating rapidly.

The lion roared very hard, twisting around him. Many times the lion hit the solid trees, because it was dark.

I don't know why this lion attacked me at night? Does anyone bother them.

Many times I have fallen and slammed, occasionally stumbling so that the roots are invisible from the trees. "Really, let me sleep in peace" I began to despair.

I ran a zig-zag to trap the big Lion by the dense trees, ten minutes had passed.

I felt like I was about to faint, my consciousness was almost gone. "Damn it, so stubborn!"

Not long ago I had made it out of the dense forest, but the stubborn big lion did not stop chasing me.

I saw a small cave, I ran into a small hole between the rocks. Without thinking I went inside. My guess is right! That big lion can't get in here.

I waited for the big lion to give up, and after half an hour waited for the tiger to leave with an angry face. I came out of the cave, and leaned against the large rocks that were all around me.

Fortunately I had a reaction and carried my backpack, I immediately picked up the cloth inside my backpack to stop the bleeding in my left calf.

It hurt so much, I lost a lot of blood. And fell unconscious.

The warm morning sunlight woke me from my long sleep. For three days I had fainted, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a strange view of the ceiling.

"Who am I in whose house?" I got up and sat on a comfortable bed.

"I found you lying around the rocks, with blood pouring out. Are you all right, son?" Someone old lady who owned this house saved me.

"I'm fine, Thank you for helping me" I'm very grateful to the grandmother.

"Then if you're ready please come downstairs, I've prepared a warm meal for you, son. If not soon, the food will be cold" The old grandma came out and closed the door.

I still don't understand my current situation, I look around, it really looks foreign to me. High ceilings, benton walls that soar to the sky. I was about to go out, as soon as I realized the door I touched was very pretty. There are very beautiful carvings, as if the carvings are shining flickering.

Actually I don't understand what was said by the grandmother "if you're ready please come down" I rephrase the old grandmother's words earlier. I don't understand 'down', actually for people from mired areas like me completely untouched by technology. We don't even know what's going on out there.

I had been surprised by this strange thing since, but I took a deep breath, and stepped foot out of this room. "Geez, what the hell is this" I'm fascinated to see what's outside.
