Pigs
I then set up my hammock right there next to the pond because of the water source and how there was space to make a fire or shelter. After getting over the feeling of being complete, I knew that there was still much more to do. Next, I really needed a good food source. I thought,
There's probably not any fish that's actually big enough to eat in that pond because of Nessie so I'll have to think of something else. What about a plant or berry? No, that wouldn't sustain me for long.
I kept thinking of something that I could use as a food source but I fell short every time I had an idea. Then, I thought,
Wait, those carnivorous plants that I saw have to have some type of food source.
So, I decided to go to the plants and wait to see what they eat. I found the plants, again making sure that I don't get lost. This place is so small, yet so big. The plants were a strange sort of dark red that had black dots as small as freckles all over it. They all had spikes at the top with holes in between the spikes. As the spikes grew to a point they turned black. Just below the spikes, the plant made sort of a funnel shape that turned into a stem. The spikes pointed out in all directions so you couldn't really touch it anywhere except for the stem. I decided to call them, "Death Flowers."
Then, I went to the where the smaller sized floating rocks were. I found a rock that had one jagged edge. I looked at it thinking,
Ya' know, this probably won't work. But oh well...
I put my hands on the rock and tried to pull it away from it's mysterious floating position. At first, it didn't budge. But after a little bit I felt it's strength start to give. I put a bit more strength into it and then, I flew backwards with the rock in my hands. After I got back up off the ground, I looked at the rock in my hands. I thought,
It feels heavier but it was still able to float there, strange.
I went back to where I found the bamboo for my hammock and water device and got two pieces of strong bamboo. I took the bamboo and the rock in my hands and went to where I found the sap for the water device that I had made earlier. I took the sap and rubbed it on the bamboo. Then I took the rock and squished it against the site where I had applied the bamboo. Then I rubbed some more sap on the other piece of bamboo and squished it against the other side of the rock to make a sort of hatchet. Then, I went to my hammock, taking to hatchet with me. I sat the hatchet on the ground to let the sap dry and in doing so, I fell asleep.
This time, I was not fortunate enough to have a dreamless sleep. In these dreams, I don't really have a body. I just kind of float, like my consciousness is there but not my body. And sometimes, I know things about the dream like I can just sort of tell the recent history of it.
In this dream there was a city building that was in a sort of triangle. I went inside of the building and there were girls everywhere sewing clothes. They all looked different ages but they were all around the age of 12. There were two doors, one door lead to the managers office and the other was an exit. Both doors were locked because some of the girls had been caught stealing scraps of clothing the day before. So now, the scraps had to be thrown in this sort of bin that was next to an oil barrel.
There was one girl that was smoking a cigarette next to the oil barrel. Then, she finished the cigarette and simply flicked it away with ease. But with her unfortunate luck, the cigarette still had some embers burning and landed in the oil barrel. The barrel caught fire and shortly after, it exploded. This killed all of the girls surrounding the barrel. But then, the clothing scraps caught fire. This created a domino effect. Everything flammable in the area started to catch fire.
The girls were panicking. One half of the girls, the ones that were near the exit, rushed to the door. One girl got there first and pulled on it, trying to open it. It opened a little bit, but then all of the other girls piled up on top of her making it impossible for her to move let alone open the door. The other half of the girls rushed to the windows. They looked for the fire escape but it had melted off the edge of the building.
By now, the fire department had been called in but the windows were too high for ladders to reach. So, they resorted to stretching out a sort of cushiony material and stretching it across. They had four firefighters grab a corner and pull so it created something for the girls to land in. Each of the girls jumped one at a time towards the firemen. Most of them missed, but a select few survived.
So, in the end, the street was splattered with blood, and there were bodies burnt alive, all piled up against the door. My consciousness backed out of the building. On the side of the building it said, "Triangle Shirtwaist Factory".
Then, I woke up. The images of those girls stuck in my head. They were so young. They were only three years younger than me. I felt an ache in my heart for each of their deaths. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to live with these awful memories. It felt like it was a torture method or something. It felt like I was being punished.
I shook my head and rolled out of my hammock. The sap was dried and I tested the hatchet. It actually worked better than I thought it would. So, I went back to the Death Flowers and thought long and hard about what I was about to do. I looked down at the stem and raised the hatchet into the air. I brought down the hatchet on the stem with all of my force. The Death Flower simply fell over. I picked it up, making sure not to touch the spikes.
You see, I figured that these things have to send the food somewhere. So, if I can find the food where the food is before it is broken down, then I can identify what it eats. I dug into the plant looking for any sort of food looking material. Then, a red liquid started pouring out of the plant. I backed off of the plant and eventually, the liquid slowed to a stop. I dug back into the Death Flower and the liquid started rushing out again. I proceeded with what I was doing anyways because I really needed food. Finally, I got to where the food hadn't been broken down. It looked like it came from some type of massive pig. It was definitely pork, but it was way too big in size to come from any ordinary pig.
I stood up and looked around. The red liquid that rushed out of the plant got all over my suit but it just sort of rolled off and didn't even leave a stain.
I need one of those pig creatures.
I started to feel weak all of the time. Nonstop, every minute of every hour of every day, my stomach felt every single type of pain at the same time.
