Lost

I crash landed with a loud “BANG” in the middle of the forest. My plane was a wreck and I didn’t think I could fix it. The gloomy shadows of the woods surrounded me as I slowly wandered through the large, tall trees. I looked into the sky but it had disappeared and taken all the light with it. I thought to myself for a moment, “I can’t turn back now, I can only go further to find my way out”.

I had nothing but the clothes on my back and the shoes on my feet. I knew that I had to find shelter to keep safe from the deadliest creatures and the cold that I shared the jungle with. I wasn’t safe, not  at all, I hoped and prayed for the best to come but nothing appeared to change. I started to panick, I got anxious not knowing what will happen next. I was also hungry, cold and scared. Hopefully, it gets better.

I woke up in the morning feeling the warmth of sun on my face and heard the slightest sound of falling water. I imediately had a rush of happiness flow through my veins. I followed the sound and it started to grow louder and louder by every step I took. I finally found it, a beautiful waterfall that at this moment meant everything in the world to me.

I leant in to feel the streaming water but fell into a cave behind it. I fell onto the ground but was shocked at the amazing scene. I couldn’t help but stop and stare at everything around me. I searched the cave and found a small gap in the wall and looked inside. I felt for something to open a door for me to enter, then “CLICK”. I was speechless. In this cave there was a treasure chest filled with jewels, gold and treasure. “What’s going on?” I said to myself.

I had my sight set on one golden bracelet so I grabbed it and ran off. If I’m really honest with myself, I expected something bad to happen, but nothing did. Now I really am thankful that nothing bad actually happened to me. It started to get dark so I built me a small shelter to stay under and keep safe from the elements and danger. I was happy though, I had a soft bed of fresh grass, a roof over my head, well sort of.

Even though I was stranded on that island, I thought of the positives. I could have that cave as a house, and a great life. A new life. A better life. Being there could be the solution to my problem. I was finally free.
