- Fighting For Survival Since Day 1.


I woke up on a beach somewhere. The sun was burning my naked body and I suffered from dehydration.

"What happened to me?" - "Where am I?" - "How did I get here?" - "Where are my clothes?"

I looked around and saw nothing but trees, sand and stones. I couldn't find my belongings. No clothes, no bags or suitcases, nothing. I was alone. Nothing wherever I looked. Until I turned 180 degrees and..

"What is that?!"
"A monstrous turtle!? - A Dinosaur?!"

I turned around as quickly as possible and ran away as far as I could! - I ran so far that all my stamina was drained. I couldn't last long in this heat. I had to find some shelter. But more importantly, I had to find some answers. - Where am I and how did I get here?!

I climbed a mountain in a desperate attempt to find a cave where I could hide. I needed to rest. I was thirsty and extremely hungry but I couldn't focus on anything but the dinosaur I saw earlier.. And that gigantic turtle. I find nothing so I ran up the hill and over the mountain. I couldn't look back. This was such a strange feeling.. I couldn't believe this.

I ran so far and suddenly I started to freeze.

"Snow?!"

Wait a minute. Calm down. Take a deep breath. THINK!

What did I knew so far..? - I don't know where I am but I know that I'm not alone. It's also extreme weather. From 100 degrees to zero in an instant. - What is going on?!

When I stood there, I saw something.. Some weird looking stone-thing hovering above ground. A huge stone-like thing with a light.

There was more of them.. I saw two. No, three different stone-like things. Three different pillars. - All of these pillars were hovering above ground. And at different locations. Perhaps they marked different key locations.. But it was too far for me to go there. - And probably too dangerous.

I had to leave this snowland immediately before I froze to death, but before I had time to turn back again I saw a wolf attacking its prey. - At that moment I knew I had to fight. I had to defend myself sooner of later. I couldn't just run and hide. I had to figure out a way to fight back. A way to protect myself. - I had to fight to survive.

I broke a branch from a tree and I found a decent stone on the ground. I put these things together. - Now I had a hatchet. - However, I knew this wouldn't be enough.. But at least it was something.

I had to find some shelter.. It will be dark soon and I knew I didn't want to experience my first night alone on this crazy place outdoors. Who knew what else I could run into.

I need to eat something. I had to find some food fast. I was starving. I picked some berries but I knew I had to eat something more than this. I can not survive on berries, but this had to be enough this very first night. I had to focus on finding shelter so berries had to be enough for now.

I used my hatchet and I managed to get some thatch and wood. I also picked up a bunch of stones from the ground. This could be enough to build myself something so I could at least get roof over my head. And some walls to prevent the wind.. This little shack would probably even protect me from rain if that started.. Who knew what could happen.

I also made a campfire. - Now I'm indoors. If I only figured out a way to light the campfire.. And I did! - This was far from perfect. I was still confused.. I didn't understand a single thing. I didn't know where I was.. I was probably the only human alive at this place and I knew there was crazy creatures here. Creatures I thought were dead ages ago. - I tried to create some clothes to cover my body from the fiber & thatch I collected earlier.

I knew this was going to be tough. - With my stomach full of berries I wasn't hungry or dehydrated anymore so even if I could manage to sleep for a few hours now when it turned dark.. I knew I was going to wake up tomorrow on this weird place.. - I had to come up with something. I needed a plan. - What was I supposed to do?

All these noises. - I was scared. I heard so much noises. Everywhere..

The darkness arrived..
