Aleks, sits back as he tells his first dilemma. "I don't remember how I got there... But I was about thirty feet up... just hanging down from this hammock. The hammock was wrapped around my ankle just right to hold me up, I'm not sure how long I was up there either. There was just completely burnt forest all around me for as far as I could see...maybe about an hour away from your house.... When I finally got down, I couldn't even remember who I was... I had to check my ID from my back pocket. Aleks hands Mae his half-burnt ID. The address is singed, so I can't read it. I have no memory of who I am... I only know my age from that card right there. I'd like to think that I was from the local area, but I have no idea if I traveled to get here. You were the first person I ran into...So thank you for being there for me."

Mae, not sure what to say. "Oh... wow that's kind of scary..." Aleks sighs. He says to Mae "I have a weird feeling that they'll find me... I'm not sure why or how but..." Aleks stops talking, puts a finger to his lips to hush Mae, telling her to be quiet, he mouths the words 'could be hunters' to Mae. Footsteps start going around them, a deeper voice speaks out to them. "I already know you're here... I'm looking for my brother, he got stuck in his hammock as I tried desperately to get him down when the fire started."
