  You awaken from your slumber. You get out of you sleeping bag and exit the shelter you made the night before. You examine the sky above and see that it is pretty early in the morning because the sun is near the horizon. You pack up your sleeping bag and your supplies and head off to search for water. At this point you are pretty energized and content with your survival so far. As you continue to walk you notice that a small mist is beginning to surround you. It is not too foggy to the point where you can not see your surroundings but it prevents you from seeing far out in the distance. The mist doesn't bother you so you continue on the path. Finally you reach a stopping point. You see a cliff ahead so you approach it. The cliff leads down a trench and at the bottom is an uncomfortable rocky looking ridge. You look across the trench and see a large body of water. You are excited about this discovery, but first you need to find a way to get to it. The trench looks like you may be able to jump it but it is risky. Then again this could be the only source of water on the island for miles. Your second option is to follow the trench down and see if there is a way to cross there but who knows where that could lead. What should you do?
  
  > walk along the trench
  You decide it is probably a better idea to play it safe and try to find a way to the other side of the trench. You have made it this far and don't want to mess everything up by trying to take the easy way across. You walk a ways down and the mist even begins to clear up a little. That is when you see it. A large fallen tree laying perfectly across the trench. This way you will be able to make it across to the water! The tree looks pretty safe to walk across, but then again it isn't a carefully constructed bridge. Who knows, maybe the slightest amount of weight added to the tree will make it fall, and you don't want to fall with it. So you can either cross it or continue walking and hope for the trench to end or find a bridge.
  
  > cross the tree bridge
  You decide to be a little risky and go across the natural bridge over the trench. Before you step onto the tree you test it by grabbing it and shaking it to the left and right. The tree didn't budge so you feel comfortable crossing it. You step up onto the trunk and begin crossing. You try your best to keep your balance and make your way safely across. On the other side you back track to the body of water that you found. There you are able to replenish your water supply and settle down for a bit. You notice that this trip has taken up mot of your daylight so you decide to find a secure place to make a shelter and make a comfortable place. You have a good amount of time before dark so you can take your time and pay attention to detail. After you gather some wood and set up a good place for a fire and build a sturdy shelter. You decide to see if the body of water has any fish in it. You are not able to make a fishing rod, but you remember watching a show about catching fish with your hands so you try to remember a few of the methods to use. Amazingly enough, you manage to catch two small fish. You take your fish back to camp and set up the fire. You cook your meal properly and have a nice dinner. You put a few extra logs on the fire to celebrate your second day of survival. After you have done all of this you are pretty tired and it is dark out so you get comfortable in your shelter, put out the fire so that there is only the embers left, and go to sleep.
  
  > Sleep
  During your sleep you go right back to your original dream about your family party. This time you are with a large group of your friends and your two siblings. All of you are messing around and having a blast. You can see that everyone is smiling and happy together and you are in a good place. You continue to dream about the party until you drift off into a deeper sleep. You haven't been able to sleep this comfortably in a while. Eventually you wake up from your sleep with no sudden pain or interruptions.
  
  > wake up
  When you wake up it is morning and the sun is shining pretty bright. You rub your eyes and get up ready to survive another day. Before you make any decisions you refill your water bottles and search the surrounding area. You see an opening in the trees that seems to lead to a field. You exit the trees and come out to a large open field just as you expected. You walk around in the field for a little and notice something shiny in the sky. You know it can't be a star because it is not night time so you are curious as to what it is. As you continue to watch this bright figure in the sky it seems like it is getting closer. As it gets closer you realize that it is something fly towards you. Once you realize that something is actually getting close to the island you begin to scream and shout and wave your hands and jump around. You continue to do this until you notice that the bright object is a helicopter and it is actually coming straight toward the island. The helicopter gets very close and hovers directly over the spot that you are standing and eventually lowers to the ground. You are so happy to realize that you are actually being saved and you survived this island. The helicopter lands and turns off and a woman exits the cockpit and tells you that a boat sailed near the island and saw smoke coming from it. The extra logs that you threw on the fire happened to pay off! She tells you that nobody lives on the island so it was strange to hear that smoke was coming from it, so she was the rescue crew that was sent out to save the inhabitant. You tell her what happened to you and about the man that took you here. You tell her the approximate location of the crashed plane and she sends another crew to investigate that. Meanwhile, it i her job to get you home ASAP. You tell her where you planned to go and she takes you directly to the airport close to your old home. You are able to contact your family and they come pick you up.
  
  > go home
  After explaining to your parents and siblings everything that happened to you over the past couple of days at the airport. You and your family finally get in the car and drive home. You are able to finally rest in a bed and in a home. The next day you go out and get new clothes to wear. When you return home, you see that your parents threw you a surprise party to welcome you back.
  
  Congratulations! You successfully survived and made it home!
