What Should I Do?
It is almost night inside a lush green forest.
Sounds of insects and unknown creature can be heard everywhere.
A boy was sitting inside a hole from a branch of a dead big tree looking exhausted as it can be seen on the way he is running out breath and wishing for more air to come.
Fear was obvious from his body movements as he looked through his surroundings. He seems to be on alert from something trying so hard to be on guard.
This young boy named Aries feels suffocated from his new environment. He had never thought how the heck did he come to this godforsaken place.
He was just editing his vlog for his daily Rowtube videos before he falls asleep but instead woken up to this unknown place.
At first he thought it was just a dream, he tried searching within a few meter from his surroundings.
He never saw such a beautiful uninhabited virgin forest like this in his whole life except the Amazon rainforest of South America that covers atleast 2 million square miles when he watched on Rowtube before.
The plants he saw here grows atleast 1 meter in length and its hard to look for any living trails because of it.
A little sunlight escapes through those big leaves that shade this forest from the sun. He could tell that it is mid afternoon. Judging on how the sun was positioned.
He does not have anything worth saving him from this dream and so he tried walking around the forest until he saw a stream.
Feeling the dryness of his throat from walking aimlessly.
He walks to the side of the river, kneels down and began drinking a mouthful of water to quench his thirst before he standin up and trying to contemplate something.
"God dammit am i really in a dream?! It's already been 2pm-3pm based on my observation. If this continues the sunset will come and I don't want to sleep here at night!" He murmured and is getting more uncomfortable as the time goes by.
He turn away from the river and started walking. He seems to be following the stream
"I need to look for a safe place while the sun is still available." He had watched survival documentaries before from Rowtube videos and now trying to follow those safety guidelines. Although he was 14 years old and 2nd year in high school, he enjoys surfing the internet more than joining school clubs and activities. Most of the child he knows have this sort of sickness.
They rarely come to participate to any of these parties but instead living up on their own digital world from the safety of their homes. And he was one of them.
The last thing he remembered was when the school offer outdoor activities like camping but was instead turned down by him.
Even his parents did not agree with it. So he just play with his computer editing videos and stuffs before falling asleep.
In this period of time he is wishing that he could turn back time and joined that camp instead.
"Is this Karma?" He thought.
He was not far from the place he drink his water when he saw an animal at the other side of the stream he was now walking. It seems that it is going to drink water just as he did.
His breathing became quicker and heart beat faster than never before. He felt the tightness in his chest and seems unable to move.
This was the first time that he felt true fear from a massive animal just 10 meters in front of him.
What he is seeing now is a Big Black Bear 17-20 feet in length 3 times as big as a full grown adult Winconsin Bear he saw inside a zoo before.
"Move Aries! Move!!" his mind was screaming for him to flee.
It seems to be an instinct and knows if he does not move he will meet his maker right here right now!
His feet was stuck to the ground like it was glued and just as he was thinking for a way to move his body.
The Black Bear suddenly lifted its head while trying to munch the water from its mouth. Until it saw Aries standing some distance away.
Looking into its yellowish eyes, Aries was shaken inside.
The Black Bear replied to his gaze and before he knows it, the bear let out a massive roar and started running forward directly at him.
**Roaarrrr!!**
His legs trembled, and cold sweat could now be felt at his back and trickles from his face.
"Am i really inside a dream?! I feel that this is all too real! I need to run now!" His mind screamed.
The feeling he's gotten awhile ago is now reaching its climax when the bear was just 7 meter away from him.
"AHHHHHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHH!!!!"
He screamed like he was crazy but it seems because of it he was able to recover a bit of his strength and move his legs while he started to run for his life.
"Shit i don't want to die on a place like this, i haven't finished playing the latest Blackie Ops yet! Mama Papa i'm sorry, i have used some of your credits to buy my new telfonex."
He complained while running with full strength. It seemed that he had found a new strength(adrenaline rush) after getting scared by the black bear. He is now moving faster than before.
Because of the panic and fear awhile back he was now back inside the forest which he felt more dangerous after he regained his senses.
But he was glad that he was able to shake off that hideous animal from killing him.
At the very least he can look for a tree and climb to it just to be safe during the night since it is now clear to him that he won't be able to escape this forest today.
"Instead of walking aimlessly at night and meet with the reaper why not find a place to sleep?" he thought
After looking around the deep forest,, he was able to find a dead big tree. Its height looks like a 3 storey building and the body is massive.
And so he climb up until he was able to find a safe spot on a big branch. It has a 1 meter hole on it and seems to be an abandoned nest for sometime.
He move his way until he was inside the hole. It has some dried twigs on it which he used as his bed before sitting down and gasping for some air.
Now getting back to the present situation.
It was now almost like a night on the forest even though he knows it is just between 5-6pm.
"This is not a dream, i should have woken up along time ago, how am i supposed to live here? what should i do?" He stressed out while he put his two palms on his face trying to cover up something.
A single drop of tear falls down on the twig.
"WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I DO?"
