Blackthorne, Gallagher & Royal?

Chapter 2

I left the store parking lot and started walking down the road in the direction opposite of the town. It was really dark so I didn't see the sign that announces that the next closest town is a hundred miles away. As I walked down the road I soon found myself lost, tired, and hungry. I knew I was walking down a road but I didn't know what direction the road went, what time it is, or how far to the next town. I didn't think to buy extra food or any other supplies before I left the town. At the time my only thought was to get out of the town I flew into so it would be harder to find me, which I now realize wasn't very smart because I could have been kidnapped or died and no one would have known where, or when, to start looking for me.

I tried walking farther but I was crashing hard, not used to doing a lot of physical exertion in a day. It had to be almost dawn but I needed to rest before going any farther. There was a tree line that I thought would be good for finding a pile of leaves in a clearing to sleep on.

I must've gone further than I had thought, crashed, or slept walked because when I woke up, I was in a meadow on a hill and the only trees around were a long distance off. I couldn't hear cars driving by on a road. The only sounds I could hear were the sounds of the wind blowing the grass under my feet. I didn't know what to do. I could try to get back through the tree line and hope it lead to a road, but if a car stopped to try and "help" me what could I do if they tried to force me into their car, I'm too small to try and stop them and would probably end up getting hurt trying. Or I could stay in the meadow and hope I ran across something somewhere, and if I died, at least it would be someplace somewhat pretty and a plane might be able to see me, if they ever looked.

I walked for what felt like hours but could very well have been only minutes, as I didn't have any way to tell time. I was so thirsty and hungry by the time dusk fell. That night I fell asleep wondering if I would wake up in the morning.

I did wake up but had almost no energy. I got up and started walking, because what else was I going to do, but I knew that if I fell I wouldn't have the strength to pick myself up again. I started to stumble and I fell from a dizzy spell that overcame me. As I landed on the ground I passed out.
