----->Chapter 1: Encounters<----- Written by: UrMomsMoat
It was a long day at work, I thought as I wiped the sweat off my head. It was a tough day at work, ut I managed to get what I needed to survive. Ever since that catastrophe In New York, I have been alone. I have been struggling to live. I nimbly climbed out of the hole I was in, and headed to my warehouse where I store my pickaxes and items to work with. I carefully placed the tools on their shelves, and locked the doors. I then headed towards home. It was a very hot and tiresome day today, I thought. As I was walking home, I spotted something in the corner of my eye, it seemed to glisten in this dark and lonely night. I almost automatically thought that It was someone else. I quickly shuffled to the location where the object lay, untouched by man or monster for some years now. but to my amazement, It wasn't just one single item; It was an entire pack of items to survive. It included a Compass, a Sword, and a Bucket of Water, which came with some food. I hurriedly gathered the items into the backpack that lay next to the items, and slung it over my shoulder. I was shocked by the amount of weight this bag was, I found myself cursing under my breath due to the pure pressure of weight.
As I was walking, I tripped over a rock, It was a rock of fair size,
"Shit!" I exclaimed as the bag pounded me on the leg as I continued to fall. I hit the ground hard, and felt a sickening snap near the location of my ankle. I looked over at my ankle, And saw that it was facing a different direction that It was supposed to face. I felt my face drop, and fear shot through my entire body. "I cant get injured now!" I yelled, knowing that I was the only one alive No one could hear me scream. I tried to get up, I grabbed the bag, and slung it over my shoulder again. I reached my hand into the bag, and pulled out the sword. I turned the sword over and tried to use it as a Crutch. I looked at my hand again, which had beads of sweat. My hand almost certainly slipped, and I felt my self fall yet again, but this time the butt of the sword Impaled me in the stomach.
I felt the breath leave my lungs, I couldn't breathe! I found myself laying on the ground, face first unable to move. Pain shot through my body, as well as fear. They both mixed to create a terrible feeling that no man should ever feel. I tried to move my arm, but It did not respond.
"My body is paralyzed due to the am-" I found myself stopping in the middle of my words, to see that there, 50 feet in front of me stands a Grizzly Bear. His dark, brown fur seemed to blow in the Wind. He stuck his head up and sniffed the air. I reached for the sword, and held it firmly in my hands. "Come towards me, and you're fucked Bear. I'll chop your legs off." I said under my breath, still struggling to regain my breath.
The bear turned his head towards me. I froze in fear. "What do you want? Go away!" I yelled, Which I found was not a very smart thing to do. The bear lowered his head, and started to run at me. My body seemed to react in an instant. I grabbed the sword and held it in a attacking position towards the bear. He lifted a foot, and took a swipe at me. the Claw hit my back, And I screamed. I felt the flesh tear, and blood ooze from my body. I then Brought all my strength together, lifted my sword, and Swung at the bear. I heard a sickening sound as the sword cut through tissue and bone. The bear was groaning in pain, and so was I.
I felt myself losing consciousness, My heart was beating fast. I felt sweat drip down my face; My eyes were closing. "No!" I screamed "I cannot die here!" Though, there was nothing to do about it. My body was in shock, and I was fading away. Before my eyes closed, I saw a shady figure walking slowly towards me..The figure seemed to be able to speak, I thought. The mysterious figure spoke, and said "This Isn't the place for the weak, but you are a very brave man to still be walking this earth.."
My eyes closed, and I lost consciousness.
This was just an idea due to boredom.
Notes: The story seems a bit fast paced. Id like some positive feedback for this. If you want me to continue, please tell me. I only writ up this sample is because I really felt like writing an adventure story. I've also noticed that i need to add more detail to the story, along with a better story line.
Notes: Just proof read, fixed capitalization errors badhatter suggested. Please note this is my first time, so try not to be to harsh
