Beware the Slime

by Chridy

Waking up on a beach with no memory and no sign human life, Alex sets out to find a way home through a land seemingly empty of civilisation. But as time goes by, Alex discovers that there's more to this world than meets the eye and that some places should remain lost, some doors should remain closed and some words left unsaid.

4. Day 19

Dear diary,

Last night was hell. I'm not kidding. There were more monsters than ever before and rather than ignoring me as they usually do, they spent almost the whole night battering my door and walls or climbing onto the roof.

Let's just say I didn't get much sleep last night.

As I lay in bed, I had an epiphany. If I tried sailing around this land I should be safer because there don't seem to be many monsters in the sea. So today I've built a little raft and stocked it with food and water ready to set out tomorrow.

In the meantime, I've reinforced my hut in the hope it'll block some of the sound. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep better tonight.

I'll probably not be able to write whilst on the raft until I reach a safe place on land, so I'll see you soon, hopefully.

Alex
