The life as SURVIVALIST Part-2
Sun was rising out the mountains and birds could be seen flying in sky seemingly for food various types of chirpings could heard throughout the forest the sky was colored in a mixture of a orange and blue colours with clouds scattered here and there the trees were looking pleasing to eyes as they were little dewy and flowers were blooming as slowly but steadily as sun rays reached them and in the flower fields various colour butterfly could seen flying and honeybees trying to take juices of flowers .
The scenery of forest in the morning was beautiful and full of vitality meanwhile what about him?Jay?
Well was he observing all of this while enjoying this beautiful view?
Nope!
Well he was still sleeping on the branch of the tree well barely and why?you ask?
You will understand it soon enough why.
Jay woke up , seeing that ground was fully covered in with dried leaves and sticks of the tree .
Oh! So many dried leaves and twigs I can try to make fire soon he thought sleepily.
Wait....
Dried leaves?
Twigs?
And then he realised something was wrong .
"Wait a minute while sleeping I was counting stars with my head upwards and to ensure I don't fall down I even tied my body with branch using that vines climbing this same tree then how..... "
Just ...how did I ended up like this?
I had tied my body tightly that I can't even move my legs from my prior position before than how?
And zooming out we can see that jay was hanging on the branch.
Like a damn seesaw.....
That also upside down more like face down towards the downside sideways on the upside of the tree .
Last night he was sitting on the branch and started to count the number of stars and then in case not to fall down from the tree he tied himself with vines and then he started to count stars and galaxies and falled asleep blissfully.
On first place how did he got sleep up there because feeling stress free? feeling natural calmness?or just too tired to care about it?he didn't know ?
And now I needed to get out of this situation before my unluck takes lead and something goes wrong.
First of all I needed to get down from this branch.As he looked around he found that vines which were still attached to him but all them somehow were gotten between the middle of the branch .
That was the reason he was stuck in the middle like a damn seesaw on the branch.
So now first to get off the branch I needed to carefully un-tie all the knots of the vines and then slowly come down to the ground.
So he started to undo all the knots of the vines carefully and slowly .
As all the knots were undone after 15-20mins.now a not single vine was tied to his body which stop his fall on the ground so he slowly reached his hand towards the branch to hold it up and then slowly tilt his body on the branch and carefully get down.
But before jay can do that his spectular luck strikes again...
A sudden blow of wind rushed and for some reason the blow of wind was much stronger than usual and jay started to swing rapidly so before he could fall down he hurriedly grabbed the branch and before he could fall off the tree and now he was hanging on the branch of the tree.
"Phew..... That was a close call"
He muttered and decided to crawl like crawling in jungle gym in park.
Just as he was about jump on off a honeybee cames by and jay goes in his panicked mode but tries to remain calm from outside .
Don't panic....don't panic
But the honeybee didn't know he was panicking so it came near and sat on his nose.
And now Jay had gone into full panic mode with alarms ringing in his brain and in his panic and it was tingling on his nose too due to all of these happening at the same time his grip on branch soften
His hands left the branch and he went down crashing down spectularly with loud bang down on the ground .
The sound was loud enough in the calm forest to startle the nearby birds causing them to fly away chirping but more than sounding sweet the chirping were sounding annoyed like they were complaining about it.
As Jay was watching imaginary stars over his head and he got up from the ground cleaned his clothes with his hand which had gotten yellowed now .
And started to walk with wobbly feet .
"I just didn't want to sleep up there anymore" So,I have to find everything properly today.No slacking off today!
So I have to find food, shelter and water
and that said he first headed towards the river he was feeling thirsty afterall.
"Beautiful as usual" he spoke for umpteenth time after seeing the scenery of river flowing in the morning.
The river flowing by with distant valleys and mountains and grassland nearby just out of some landscape painting with morning sun shining pleasant rays on the land making it more vibrant and beautiful.
So after drinking water from river he started to think what he needed the most right now.
Yes I need some stones specially quartz one with which lighting a fire is easy. This was a knowledge passed on him by his grandfather who had often camped out in jungle.
So he started to search up the river beach and nearby in shallow waters and in sand for quartz stones and picked them in his hands and started to gather a good amount nearby so he didn't have search everytime to find them.
After that he started to gather some dried leaves and twigs and after some time he created a large heap of it and then he started to smash those quartz stones together.
After some time a spark was caught on the dried leaves and it started to burning jay desperately started to blow on it get it on fire Come on ! Come on!
He screamed internally.
This time the luck was on his side the fire started slowly but steadily engulfed the heap of dried leaves and grass.Jay hurriedly cleared other dried leaves so it does not get spread through out the forest.
"So , I become first to light the fire in the forest marking the birth of civilization here!" He said out loud with smug on his face .
The smug was like colombus discoverying Americas.
"Atleast I am first light fire in this forest right?"
With the fire he can now have brightness during night and he didn't have to be stuck on tree because of the fear animals with fire at least animals will hesitate to approach him and he can now also warm up during night too.
And most importantly...
"I can cook food"
He said while dreaming about cooking tasty food with proper shelter in place.
With the start of fire his true survival in the forest begins .....
