A young man woke up in the middle of a forest with no idea how he got there. The young man sat up with a grunt and saw blurry colors of green and blue. He also saw vague shapes of plants all around him. He got up and started walking to the nearest tree when he tripped on something big and heavy. He got back up and noticed that the object was a large backpack full of items needed to survive in the wilderness.

The contents of the outer parts of the bag where he could see were 3 water bottles, a cell phone, a charger for the phone, and a radio. He was thinking about what happened to him before he woke up but can't recall a thing. With a grunt he tried to take another step then another, and another. He picked up his backpack and looked at the contents on the inside.

In the backpack was a compass, 2 big plastic baggies of food, a tent, and a lighter. The lighter I could use to start a fire. The food and water will really help but it won't last for long. He picked up the phone and pushed the button on the top to turn it on and nothing happened. The man then looked back at the backpack and thought, I have to charge this phone somehow. But where would I plug it in to charge at in the middle of a forest?!?!

The man sat down and observed his surroundings. There were lots of trees, bushes, and the small clearing where he is currently sitting. The young man whispered to himself,"Ok. I don't remember much but I need to see what I do remember... Well, my name is Trey Anthony. I work at, or at least I did depending on how long ago I must have left home. Anyways I worked at Mystical Works, where I studied in the arts of the unnatural as in hauntings and things like superpower appearances. Given, the second one never happened, but it did make me lots of money."

At that moment a loud snap came from behind him stand up and made his head jerk around to see what made that noise. To his surprise when he turned around it was just a deer sprinting by because it was startled by seeing the young man who was now standing before it. Then a loud bang sounded throughout the forest and within a second of the bang the deer fell to the ground, body lying lifeless and still. He looked at the deer that was just a few yards away from where he stood. He yelled," HEY!"

"Who said that?" The voice that said that was a deep low voice.

"I did!" The young man replied as the hunter stepped out from behind some bushes to his right. The hunter raised the gun towards him and said," Goodbye Trey."

"WHAT?!?!" Trey yelled as he jumped away from the barrel of the gun as a loud BANG sounded throughout the forest they were in. He grabbed the supplies around him quickly and ran as fast as he could away from the hunter.

"You should know by now that you can't run!" The hunter yelled after him as another bullet whizzed by him.
