...What--where am I?
--I feel like shit, am I on the ground?
It feels grainy...

I opened up my eyes and saw the covering crown of a tree above me. I could barely see the sky, but I can tell that the weather was clear since I saw the light coming from the sun blind me as I turned my head left.
For some reason though, I feel something warm on my chest. Raised my head and saw a squirrel sleeping on top of it. Couldn't believe my eyes for a moment since this was a rare thing. How long have I been unconscious for?

"Hello there, Mr. Squirrel."
I petted the head of the critter and woke him up. He just stared at me for a moment before dashing off into the distance. Standing up from the ground, I then dusted off the dirt on my back before looking around.
Looks like I'm in a forest... "Great." I suddenly woke up in the middle of fuck all with no clue how. Did I get transported to Canada or something?!

Took a couple of steps while looking around and saw something weird. A bush with colorful leaves. Went in closer for a better view and honestly, they were really beautiful. The colors resembled that of a rainbow.
Are these the leaves that turn you gay or something? Pfft. But for real though. Knowing the rules of nature, it might actually be true since there's a saying that if you see something colorful in the wild, expect it to be extremely deadly.

After inspecting more of my surroundings for a while, I've come to the conclusion that I really don't know where the fuck I am. I lost my phone, my wallet, didn't have anything in my pockets, I have nothing.
What the hell even happened?! I got sucked into my computer and just woke up in this place! Did that storm cause this?! No wonder people were going missing left and right. Did they all end up here in goddamn Narnia?!
...Shit, what will mom and dad think about my disappearance?! I don't have anything to contact them. If I did, then the signal would probably be shit and...
...Damn it. I'm sorry guys, but I might not be able to make it there in one piece.

Okay, what's the first thing to consider when you're in the wilderness? Shelter? Food? Water? All of them, of course. But let's try to secure the food first... or shelter--no wait, water might be the best option since I'm sure that I can't live for about three days without it. I need to find a stream, or river, or anything that resembles a body of water.
I'm going to test my survival skills from the dozens of YouTube videos that I've watched. BRING IT ON!

I don't know how long has it been. Six hours? Eight? Eternity? Didn't find a single source of water; only weird animals and ponds full of mud and trees and trees and trees and... never mind.
Fortunately for some reason, I didn't have a single moment where I would beg the ground for some water. I'm still quenched even after walking for... I don't know. Same goes for my stomach.
My legs also haven't given up yet, and that's the weirdest part. I'm not gonna complain though, since this feeling might just be my body coping that I'm gonna die sooner or later if I don't find what I need. Shelter's going to be the new goal if the sun comes down.

"White mushrooms, blue flowers, black... fruits? What are those? No, I'm not eating that."
Didn't eat anything along the way since I literally don't know if they're safe or not. I'm pretty sure that these things aren't being farmed in the U.S., heck even in other countries in the world! I don't remember these things existing on the markets! They also look and smell like... fragrant perfume or something. Which part of the planet did I end up on?!

"Haaah, can't find shiiiiiit! When is this going to en--"

...

Just as I said that, I saw an opening in the forest. It looked like a pathway, and my mind went bazonglas.

"No way no way no way NO FUCKING WAY!"
I sprinted towards it while bursting through bushes and branches. Finally, something familiar to me! Civilization footprints! First steps on coming back home! I'm out of this boring jungle!
Wait for me, mom and dad!
