Chapter 4 - Figuring something but not exactly

Oh well,I have no chance but to do something about my life and figure out how I came to be.

I stood up from where I had been inspecting my physique,exclusive probably only to me, and looked around myself to get a good idea of my surroundings and to have better judgement.

Appereantly I was in a little circle surrounded by endless trees.So I had to go around and explore the forest or something,I guess? But while walking towards the forest and out of the circle ,a circle that was small but big enough to accommodate a little creature like me,I came across a new problem.As if I didnt have enough already.

Bonk!..

Huh?I just hit something,just now...

I had closed my eyes upon impact so I opened them back to look at what I had bumped into.

There is nothing here..?

I looked ahead ,but there was nothing I could see that was the culprit of my head hurting . So I tried another aproach,I tried to go through once more but my body wasnt going thorugh,weird. It's as if there is a transparent barrier...

How am I gonna get out then!!

I start to kick and punch the barrier,which I was unfortunately unable to see very well or see none of it at all.

What the hell is this,I can't even explore around now?!

I was more shocked then angry but of course I was still mad. Mad that an experience so unrealistic and dumb was happening to me.How was I supposed to figure it out without even being able to learn about my surroundings.

Haaa,I suppose I have to figure out how to get out of here first.What a joke.

I turned around towards the inner circle of the place of my unjust prisonment.

Gurgle gurgle~~

I looked down at my stomach,or atleast where I thought it was placed and resided. The sound was coming exactly from that exact same location where I laid my eyes upon.Was this hunger I was experiencing or a simple side effect of circumstances not known to me... Certainly hunger.

I'am so hungry,sniff.What am I supposed to eat now. I mean I don't even know what my diet should consist of when I don't know what I am. And there are no food in sight either.

I laid on the tall grass that was poking me around like smooth jelly blades,dejected about the not so abundant choices I had.

I have to make a choice in the end thats for sure,but I cant even eat..>_<'

The sun was slowly setting. The night settling in felt the same as the heavy reality settling in my heart,that is if I do have one though.The sky was like a dome,time sliding off of the dome like sky and reminding me of my finite life time of one day.It was slowly getting darker and darker,quite the scare for my poor self as I didn't have a clue what to do.And it was getting chilly too...

What am I supposed to do,cover myself up with leaf blankets.

The frosty breeze the evening wind was carrying cold enough to make my teeth chatter.I could feel my skin tingling and had subtle shivers going throughout my whole body.

Great,now I'am cold on top of being hungry and its getting dark.

I had to atleast make a fire, or something similar to a light source. Maybe the transparent barrier not only blocks me from going out but maybe it also has the ability to block whatever monsters that are lurking outside... is that considered wishfull thinking. Even if it was I had other priorities to solve.

I should atleast make a fire.

I got up and looked around myself for dry sticks and flammable things,found a few stones I thought were of great use and got to work.

How exactly am I supposed to light these dried up leafs though... Am I gonna have to rub the sticks together?

I fiddled around with the sticks for a while but there were no spark of any sort coming out. I was starting to get a bit frustrated. I tried and and tried,spun the sticks on top of each other,tried to create friction with the rocks but nothing came out of it either.In a little display of anger,I threw the rocks towards the leafs. I don't know how it came to be but I guess that created enough friction to cause a spark. So as I was saying,there was a little fire hazard siting infront of me. Overjoyed, I made a bonfire and sat around it to get away from the bone chilling and cold night breeze. I was still hungry but that could be ignored for now. The cold seeping through my bones was more important.

İts already night huh,I guess it doesn't look so bad.The night.

I laid down and looked up at the sky,the sun already having parted ways with the moon to rest at its chambers.The moon was as full as me, which meant that there was no moon to be seen.Still the stars were enough to satisfy my hunger. Glowing like little gemstones and casting a soft light.One day I was going to see them from a different angle,so different from now that it was basically going to look completely different from the stars I was seeing right now.But I was still gonna like this ones better because they were my first light in the dark I had laid my eyes upon.

Yaawnn~

I could slowly feel my eyes closing in on them selves. The pressure of sleep getting more unbearable each passing moment. My consciousness was slipping away.I was trying to stare at the stars instead of sleeping but my eyes were uncooperative with me.While I was falling asleep the last thing I saw was a star winking at me ,or it could be my imagination.

I couldnt decide.
