Have you ever experienced true fear? I mean soul crushing bone chilling horror. No, well I have. Let me think this through one more time. I have my school backpack with a calculator, math instruments and my text books… what else my rescue inhaler. I'll have to try and use it sparingly it only three fourths full. A pair of skull candy headphones and my laptop….yeah I'm fucked. How the fuck did this even happen one second I'm relaxing finally through with finals and getting ready for high school graduation. The next I'm not. Thinking about it a lot of use early fucking college class will do me right god damn now! Ok I have to keep calm, you panic you die that's the rule. With that in mind, I'm writing in this journal to keep me sane and maintain a log of sorts to help keep the days start in my head. "So what happen to you?". That's a very good question journal. I am trying to work that one out myself all I am certain of as of now is that I am hopelessly lost. Which bring us to the next question, how did you get hopelessly lost? And once again I have no fu…no idea.
I was at school getting ready to leave then I wasn't, I found myself in the middle of a lush field with nature on all sides. In a word nowhere is where I found myself as in the since no internet connections or cell service I'm assuming about the cell service. I don't actually have a phone that's one of the many thing my family can't afford. But that's beside the point. In all directions there was only open field. "But wait", "yes journal". "Couldn't you have blacked out and sleep walk here?"… "First no the school is in the middle of the city and second that's stupid". Continuing. As with anyone I Immediately panicked my mind raced "where the fuck am I" "what the fuck is going on" "I want my mommy" "how did this happen" "how do I get home". I won't lie to you journal I sobbed like a scared little child. After what I assume was an hour of …that. I finally started to regain my senses. I had to if I want to get home alive. And here we are at the current moment. I'm lost alone and totally fucked.

I've been walking for about an hour, the weather has held gray and overcast. I am still holding out hope that it won't rain and that this is some strange dream but I know that it's not. I'm resting under a great oak tree on the edge of a mighty forest. Before I march into this great unknown I have to rest and consider all my options… I supposes that I should recount the events since my last entry. After I decided to move from the field I gathered my things and picked a direction to travel in. to the north off in the far distance I could just make out what appeared to be treetops. To my south nothing but a sea of grass land as far as eye could see. To the west I saw what I am guessing was a lake off in the far horizon. To the east I saw looming mountains caped with snow. "How did you know which way was north south east and west?" good question journal. Well I looked to the sun to tell me east from west. As we all know the sun rises in the east and setts in the west. So with the sun over the distance lake I knew that was the west. So the mountains must be to the east, now how did I know north to south….well I didn't. YES! I guessed ok how the hell was I supposes to figure that out in the middle of a god forsaken FIELD! Ok I'm calm, I'm collected. So what I did was guess and called the direction with the treetops the north and the endless grass sea the south. After taking it all in I came up with a brilliant plan, to keep the lake in sight and head north. Now here we are siting under a tree at the edge of a giant forest. Physically I'm not doing great, my feet are in great pain my ancient tense shoes aren't helping, my legs are lead, my back is a blaze with pain and my lungs are not working with me. I've had to use my rescue inhaler four times during this little trek. Only after an hour of pleasant terrain I'm ready for an arm chair and an ice cold coke. Ha ha ah ha ah… god I'm thirsty I haven't had anything to eat or drink since lunch. And I don't think I'm get any soon. I've got to stay proactive ignoring the dryness of my throat and the hunger pain in my gut… man I bad at this.

OK! I've got a plan, a terrible stupid plan that could likely seriously harm or kill me if I fuck a single think up. It's simple I have to get a better view of the terrain before I commit to any long term plans. Therefore, I have to get a view from high up. So I'm going to climb the tallest tree I have found. Thanks to my knowledge of trig (thank you early collage class I guess you are going to come in handy) the one I'm going to climb is about 90 feet tall. The only problem is I am 280 pounds of good old southern boy. Meaning I'm not a king of agility but it's the best plan I've got. I'll update the journal after I hopefully get back down safely.
