Day 3
Immediately after I woke up, I got to work. Having no water left in my canister, I knew I would collapse from dehydration in less than a day if I couldn't discover some more. I also only ate one scrambled egg for breakfast since I knew that eating would just make me more thirsty.
I crawled throughout the tunnels until I could find the wet spot in the dirt that I discovered yesterday and started hacking away at it. Every chunk of dirt I moved away made even more water spring loose, so I knew that I was getting closer and closer by the second. And then I found it.
After digging and removing dirt for about an hour, a massive blast of fresh air hit me. It felt so moist and clean that I nearly destroyed the tunnel I was in, trying to get out so fast. What I saw next was unbelievable.
There was a massive lake(if you could even call it that, considering how enormous it was) surrounded by trees so thick it would be impossible for anything to get through them. Even a brand new chainsaw would probably break before it could get through the trees. But that's not all. It was far more than just a large lake encased in trees; it was the living embodiment of life itself.
The top of the water was so still it seemed like the lake was empty at first glance, but after looking into it I saw everything.
Fish ranging from the largest of catfish to the smallest of guppies were flying everywhere throughout massive entanglements of seaweed. All around and on top of the lake were fireflies, flashing their lights away without a doubt in their mind. Then I realized something.
When I looked back at the water for the second time, I examined the surface, in stead of looking into it, and staring right back at me was my reflection.
I was a teenage guy, probably around sixteen years old, with jet black hair and tan skin. A heavy-duty black winter coat with muddy white fur on the inside was covering up most of my shirt, which was a plain white T. My pants were simple ripped-up black jeans, and the bottom of them were covered up by my boots, which matched the exact style of my coat. But the one thing I was truly baffled by were my eyes.
While the rest of my body would make me seem like just a normal teenager who was thrown into this crazy world against his will, my eyes were different. The pupils were a deep pool of bloody red, almost as if they themselves were bleeding on the inside. The longer I stared into them, the more gruesome they seemed to be.
Maybe I had some sort of contagious disease, and that is why I was made to live out in the wild... but even if that theory were correct it wouldn't explain how I lost all my memories. Also the only "disease" I know of that causes red eyes is albinism, but that doesn't pertain to my case since my hair and skin are flowing with color.
After studying my looks enough to satisfy me, I clumsily stumbled over to the lake and collapsed in one of the shallow parts, slurping up all the water I could. The sensation I felt when having that pure, shining lake water lap around me was utterly indescribable.
Now back in my cave, all I can say is that tomorrow morning I'm going to stuff my face in with all the eggs I can eat, and chug all that beautiful water I possibly can down my throat. Good night to myself, and I pray for good luck doing whatever it is I will do in the morning.
