My head hurts! It's as if a pile of bricks fell on top of me, or like how my mornings usually began after a night of partying. I took a deep breath in, and listened to my surroundings. The last thing I needed was to go back to jail. My surroundings smell of dirt and mold. I slowly opened my eyes slowly to reveal a cave over my head. What did I do last night? I know I always said I'd quit drinking, but this time I really mean it. 

I shifted my weight onto my side. I got up and instantly regretted it. Now my head started hurting worse than when I was laying down. I don't even recall drinking anything, and I don't do anything else but drink. How did I end up here? I remember walking home, then I started feeling unwell. I went to lay down and I guess I passed out. 

I got onto my feet with great difficulty. I stumbled out of the large cave, while holding the wall of the cave. Outside was filled with plant life. Where am I? I just hope I'm not in Wonderland or the Land of Oz. I trudged through the heavy undergrowth. I heard several different species of animals running all over the place. I just hope there's no snakes here. At least my headache seems to have left me for the moment. 

I heard a branch snap two inches from me. My head snapped quickly over in the direction of the noise. I regretted my decision of leaving the cave. Something doesn't seem right about this place. If I ended up in here, then there must be a way back... home? I guess I can call it that. 

After a while of nothing coming out I quickly got out of the area. The problem was, I don't exactly know which way I was going. Now I'm completely lost, though I did spot a big tree. High ground will help, but what if I fall? I'm not the most athletic person, even a kid could beat me at most things. I was the typical gamer, who had a few cool friends. Those cool 'friends' are what caused me so much problems. Such as my drinking and lack of extra change in my pockets. 

What's the point in standing here though? Am I going to climb this dumb tree, or stand here and hope that no animals take advantage of easy prey? Why was I...chosen?...punished? Whatever this is, why am I in the middle of it? I guess I'll climb this tree! I can do it! As one great person said, Just do it. Thank you Nike for aiding me in this great moment of need. 

When I got to the base of the biggest tree I could find, my body protested against the manual labor. I guess I still need to transition from the To Don't list to the To Do list. As I was about to attempt to retry my unattempted climbing skills, an arrow struck the tree next to me. I guess that climbing this tree isn't of any concern at this moment. My instincts kicked in and I ran as fast as I could. My heart started to accelerate as my legs began to ache. Where the hell am I?!
