Hey. Thanks for reading. Please Please comment.

When Jessie finally opened her eyes she could see the sun rising through the trees. "Wait. What? Trees?" she thought to herself. "I must be dreaming." She was still in that half asleep half awake faze so it didn't bother her that much that she was lying on the ground in the middle of a strange forest.
Jessie rolled onto her stomach and pushed herself up with her arms. Still with her eyes mostly closed, she began to stagger in the direction the bathroom would have been if she had been sleeping in her bed instead of on the forest floor.
When she had gone way more than the 7 feet or so it should have taken to get to the restroom, Jessie finally opened her eyes all the way.
She had to do several double takes before she believed what she seeing. Trees that went hundreds of feet up surrounded her in ever direction. Jessie had absolutely no recollection of why of how she had gotten there.
"Its just a dream." She repeated over and over in her head.
She took a couple steps backwards and tripped over a root. She caught herself with her hands but cut herself on her right arm. It didn't really hurt, but as a few drops of blood rolled down from it, it began to sting.
"Okay, so maybe it's not a dream," Jessie said to herself, "but I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for this."
"Maybe, I just slept walked into the woods behind my house," Jessie suggested.
"No, these trees are way too tall."
It was then that Jessie realized how hungry she was. She stood and took stock of everything she had.
"Okay, let's see here. 1 pair of shorts, 1 t-shirt, 1 sweat-shirt, 1 pair of socks, 1 pair of gym shoes, 1 hair band,1 watch, 1 cell phone (no service), 1 ipod, and 1 granola bar."
Jessie ate half of her granola bar and tried to figure out what her next move would be. She decided to follow a stream that she could hear nearby. Jessie figured that stream would link up with the Ohio River like all streams did where she lived and it would be her best bet of finding a working phone.
She put her earphones in, cranked up the tunes and began walking.
After about a half an hour of walking Jessie began see fewer and fewer trees and what looked like a clearing. She thought she could hear people talking so she began sprinting as fast as she could towards the clearing.
She could see the clearing getting closer and closer and the voices getting loader and loader. She ran faster and harder than she had ever ran in her entire life. But then all of a sudden she was falling, hurdling towards the bottom of a giant canyon.
