Desolation Boulevard

3: The Hike

I fell asleep in the cave and woke up when the storm passed. I got up and then sank because of deep snow. I eventually got out of the cave, into the destroyed plane. I get in and crawl. I crawl because there is no space to stand. I get my suitcase and crawl out back to the cave. Once I get there, I sort out the very bare essentials like clothes and sweaters, and other stuff that aren't that necessary. Then, with a sharp rock, I cut the binding to my suitcase to two pieces to fashion snowshoes. I then put all my necessities into the first aid backpack, put it on, and hike through the Himalayas. I start strong, but my hunger is gaining. That was something I forgot about when I crashed. After a half hour, I find a cave and rest. I go through the backpack and find the radio. I turn it on and hear this. "Breaking News out of Northern India. Another blizzard detected to hit Northern India and the Himalayas. Well, re-route your plane again if, again, you are going through the Himalayas." That is when I realized I need to get back to civilization before that. That is when something hit me by surprise. When I try to get back out of the cave and an earthquake hits. The earthquake knocks me back onto the snow unconscious and made a major setback.
