Well, nobody can say I didn't try.
I decided to give up on everything I had here, which amounted to a park bench, as a psychotic serial killer who murdered me and turned me into a haunted memory stole my apartment, killed the guy who lived there after me, and caused a great deal of chaos.
Frankly, I gave up. I walked away from it all. I gathered a bunch of camping supplies, and I decided to test my boundaries. I then walked through forest, swamp, cavern, and swam through a few rivers. After a long time, I got lost, ran out of food, and got very, very, very cold. I believe I may have frozen to death.
I got turned around at some point, and after wandering in the wilderness, I managed to make my way back here, convinced that there is no realistic way out. It's almost like there's an edge, and you just keep walking into infinity, the forest never stops.
I managed to make my way back, by some miracle. I wonder how many others there are out there, poor souls who tried to escape, only to continue to die of exposure in the wilderness.
On my way back, I lost my left boot in a bog, and walked back with a bare foot, and it became infected. Needless to say, I spent a good portion of the time walking with a makeshift crutch and crawling whenever that became too much.
Finally, the noise of the city came back, and I made my way back in. I don't remember much after that, but I do remember some sort of healer, and her.
I was glad to see her again, but she touched me. I did not like to be touched, nor did I have any want to have any sort of help, as I was in a rather delusional state- I had indeed been walking on a partially gangrenous leg for days.
My leg looks better, but I'm still in quite a shape. I've calmed down a bit, but I need to focus on eating better. Does anyone know any care centers where I can recuperate and restore my strength?
Still, I am desolate. There really is no escape from this place.
It is hell.
So, what's the latest news here that I can dig my journalistic little fingers into? A friend and a hard drink would be nice too.
