As the screeching continued to come closer Paul became closer and closer to having another breakdown. Seconds later an animal of some sort he had never seen before emerged from the bushes. It was about three meters tall, with powerful legs, claws that could slice right through him and the mouth was like seeing an abyss of sharp tiny teeth that would shred you to pieces by the slightest touch.
Undoubtedly Paul was so scared that he couldn't have a breakdown. The unknown beast seemed to look around sensing the shivering human hiding in the corner. It let out another of its shrieks and slowly approached the corner Paul was in.
It steadily approached ready for attack. Paul contemplated on what to do "Should I attack it or should I just accept my death... ahhhh I don't know what to do!" His mind was in turmoil.
The beast suddenly leapt towards him and by pure reflex he thrust the giant thorn toward it. By some miracle he pierced right through the head of the beast into the mouth that was about to eat him. He was stunned for a moment then quickly dropped the thorn half imbedded in the skull of the beast and stepped back from the dead carcass.
Starring down at it he thought about how that dead body was just about to bite his head off a moment ago and started to convulse but there was nothing in his stomach to vomit. At that moment he felt his stomach growl and he looked towards the corpse with new meaning in his eyes.
Yesterday he had found a pretty sharp rock next to the house and viciously started cutting into the beast. Being a person from modern times (or would it be ancient times now) he had never killed an animal himself much less skinned one that he had never seen before but, he was so hungry he didn't care if he had to eat it raw. His stomach was practically about to eat him.
Once he successfully cut off a piece of meat he hesitantly opened his mouth and took a nibble. Finding nothing wrong with it beside tasting horrible he took another bite then another finally finishing off the piece of meat.
After finishing his meal he started to convulse again this time with food in his stomach raw pieces and chunks of pink meat came spilling out. A few minutes later he was once again without food in his stomach and feeling quite down. Thinking about it rationally he had never eaten raw meat before which made his stomach reject it. Finding his answer he looked around in desperation and spotted a weird black tree that had some bulbous fruits(?) hanging from one of its twisted black branches. It looked a bit menacing but that didn't stop him, he grabbed it and immediately tore off a chunk of flesh from it.
When he first bit into the fruit he didn't have any expectations for it but, then came a sweet nectar flowing into his mouth that just made him want to eat more. Three fruits later he was finally satisfied and refreshed by finding a small light in this incredibly dangerous new world.
Not wanting to see the menacing beast he had just killed he dragged it away from his shelter so he didn't have to see it anymore. Looking at the sky he found that it would still be light out for quite awhile so he decided to look for a water source in this time.
Setting off in no particular direction he went into the surrounding forest armed with his giant thorn. While he walked he made sure to mark the trees he went by just in case he would get lost. Some of the plants and insects he found looked dangerous and decided to steer clear of them. About an hour later he heard the sound of water coming from a bit ahead of him. Thinking it could be a spring or flowing water of some sort he started to run towards it. As he emerged from the forest he came upon a stream of water.
He kneeled down next to it and started gulping down the water. Feeling refreshed he looked around the stream and started to follow it wonder omg where it's source was. He soon came upon a cave that wasn't very deep but sheltered from the elements. Looking at it and the area around it he felt that this would be the best place to stay for the time being. His old home didn't mean much to him so he quickly settled in clearing a space for himself to sleep.
Coming out of the cave he found that there were quite a few trees that seemed to be bearing fruits including some black ones that looked like the one he ate from earlier. He picked one fruit from each tree that was unfamiliar to him and picked a bunch of fruits from the black trees though only as much as he could carry.
As he sat down in the cave he put the fruits down and started testing them out to see if they were edible. There were a total of three different new fruits he found the first being rather round and bumpy and tasted like a grape though looking nothing like one, the next was bigger and was blueish which was kind of strange but it still tasted okay, and the last one was tinier than the rest but was a bright orange, but when he swallowed it he started getting all fuzzy in the head and slumped over passed out with the fruit still in his hand.
