I moved to what seemed like the centre of this place. 

I suddenly saw something sticking out from the rubble. It looked like  some kind of pole. I had finally found something in this place.

I got excited and started hobbling faster, ignoring my pain. It was a mistake. I tripped on a stone and fell head first. My head pounded and it was bleeding. I was sure that my leg was broken.

I wouldn't be able to move. I couldn't reach the pole. I sat down upset. I didn't even try to convince myself that everything would be okay. This was turning out to be almost impossible.

Exhausted, I lay down and placed my head on a thick layer of moss covering a rock. Even though it was so uncomfortable, I fell asleep instantly.
