Fortunately I rapidly woke up and stranded up, but it was a different place, it was more wild, with trees that looked like they reached the skies, and storms that were heard from miles apart, with constant thunder in the background, but there were flora and fauna without any limits, maybe if I use some of what I have at my disposal I can make a campfire and a small refuge, I tried to use some vines that were nearby but it was very strong to snap in half, the same happened with the other plants, they were abnormally strong to be some small plants, then I heard something, wandering around the forest, knowing it could be my tomb, I hid in some nearby bushes I saw, then I saw it, a creature bigger than a bear, it had a similar size to a construction machinery than a normal creature, it had some weird thing, abnormal and strange, it had various spines like a porcupine in his back, a long tail that ended in what appeared to be a whiplash, and a walking sound that was eerily similar to that of rubber, and when I saw even closer I saw that it had 8 legs and what it looked like scales in the neck, it was very distinct to anything I had imagine, not even in my most lucid of my dreams I would have come up with such creature, it had absolutely nothing logical the existence of that thing, then I heard the sound of a storm approaching, I looked at my surroundings and saw a fallen tree that I took as temporal refuge, it was in a zone a bit clear of the dense forest I was going through, it was a little humid, but I didn’t mind as long as the creature wandered very long from where I was, then I heard a thunder stuck nearby, I was terrified of getting stuck by lightning for the third time, and so I hugged the prototype with all of my strength, praying for the storm to pass, but it stayed, and so I fell sleep with fear of the storm.

  I waked up the next day a little bit exhausted, I looked outside and saw that the storm passed, then I got to work and grabbed some branches of the tree to make a campfire, then a felt as a cold wind came by, and felt as if I didn’t make a fire, I would die from the cold weather, doing some friction between the sticks like they appeared in shows or movies, I did it until both of my hands were hurt like hell, but at the end it didn’t work, then when I inspected the prototype to see if ti was useful in any way I saw it was still working even after all that happen, then I used some of the cables that were loose and finally managed to make a fire, but it was already getting late, and so as I cached up with the weather and make a little refuge that looked like a mountain of sticks with leaves on top, and with some difficulty, I used some bushes to make a bed, I was already falling asleep when I heard something outside, maybe it was something like the thing I saw the day before, with fear I ran to my campfire and turn it off with dirt and hide in my refuge, I saw something huge outside, it had the height of like 3 floor of a building and had something distinctive, sounded like a bear with something like metal scraping with each other, that resonated across the entire forest, with a beak that that looked like a an owl or and eagle, after what it felt like hours it went elsewhere, and with some nerves that it might get back I went to sleep.

  The next day I felt like I was starving, I haven’t eaten in like a day and a half, I went to some nearby bushes and observed it had little fruits, so I collected a bunch, then after getting some of them into my pockets and eating some I heard a sound like a river, I approached and found a livestream of water, I couldn’t resist, and so I give to temptation, I made a bowl with my hands and drank it, but when I drank end it it tasted like metal, it was so overwhelming that I ended up puking the water, but there was no other option, so I still had to drink, after some sips the taste fade away, and soon after I continued eating the berries I found, then I walked right back into my camp, it was already noon, then I started the campfire to gain warm, just as the cold started to appear, some time later an infernal headache appeared out of nowhere, I felt like if my head was going to explode or like if it was melting, I quickly get into my refuge and started hitting my arm and leg trying to mitigate the pain I felt, and then it fade away, I was exhausted and it was already midnight, and so I finally could rest once more.

  I waked up once again, way too distant from my home, nothing happened last night, not that I’ve felt nor seen, everything was where I left it last night, the prototype was still functioning, the campfire burned completely just like I remembered, I walked to drink some water out of the river, but for some unknown reason my eyes felt pain, like if I was hit by a baseball bat straight to my eyes, I reached the river, and after drinking some water I saw something weird in the reflection of my face, not something extremely strange, but something odd, I approached my water reflection to see better, my eyes were off, very very off, the were like squares, but like a vertical rhombus, no circular, rhombus, and if. I saw with detail, it had no color, just a pure black pupil of sorts, I looked like a monster, a creature not bonded to any rules of nature, it was impossible that all was a product of my delusions, nor of my imaginations, this could be a dream, I felt pain, wind, cold, cuts and warm, “Maybe the strange marks all around my body were the start” I thinked, what happened to me should have never happened, “Maybe nobody was searching for me, it would be impossible, I moved for like 3 places already, one weirder than the one before, there is no logic nor reason in this place, wherever it is” I couldn’t stay here for more time, this places are changing me, making me an abysmal creature if I stayed for too long, I had to get to my home place, and I had to do it fast, I had to do it the same way I got to this places.
