⚠️This chapter mostly deals with dead people so if you don't like stuff like that, I suggest you skip this chapter, then.⚠️

  I walked over to the first dead person, a woman. She was a flight attendant. There was no way she was older than twenty-eight but definitely not younger than twenty-four. I unbuckled her from her seat. Immediately she fell over and her head hit the wall across from her.

  I grabbed her wrists and dragged her outside. There were no shovels so I couldn't bury her. I took out my match box. I had two matches left. I would have to burn their bodies.

  I walked back inside and saw a man. He had a dad-bod so I assumed he was a father. I'm so sorry for his family. He still had his face mask on so I took it off and unbuckled him. I again grabbed his wrists and dragged him outside next to the flight attendant.

  I repeated this action about eight or nine more times. I took out the match, lit it, and threw it on the bodies.

  "I'm sorry I left you, but I loved you," I heard a whisper in my ear. I turned around but no one was there. It must've just been my imagination. Where did Jake go? I looked everywhere but assumed he heard a sound and went back to camp because he was scared. I grabbed the flares from off the ground.

  'Stupid,' I thought to my self. 'How can he be so stupid to leave me in the front woods?'

  I walked back to camp and looked around but didn't see him.

^  "Hey has anyone seen the guy that I walked to the airplane with," I asked.

^  "You didn't walk to the airplane with anybody," the older woman from earlier said.

  I looked at her confused. I was starting to get scared. Was I exhausted? Who did I see? Who was the one who whispered that in my ear? I needed to go home.

^  "I got the flares," I responded handing them to the pilot.

^ "Thank you," he responded taking them.

^ "When do we light them," a teenage boy asked.

^ "If we hear a helicopter, we light them then," the pilot answered.

  I walked over to the half of the plane that I was in. I sat down in my seat and decided to fall asleep.
