Chapter 18 - Whose dinner will be exquisite tonight?
Thus, my second day of walking through the wilderness began.
I try my best to remain attentive to my surroundings, but more often than not, the daydreaming gets the better of me.
When I notice I’ve already been off for some time, then I snap back to reality and get very wary of my surroundings for some time...
Until my mind wanders again.
Yeah, I need to ramp up my survivalist skills. If I keep like this, any ambush predator I meet will be my bane.
I won’t have a third chance in life, so I need to do better in this one.
The problem is that thinking of ways to make my mind conscious of my surroundings... also sets it to wander off.
So I try to focus on looking at the scenery around me and asking myself questions about the plants and ecology.
That might be better?
Not that there are that many plants... and animals are even fewer.
Sometimes I spot a locust or another bug. Very rarely, some small rodent scuttles from under a bush as I approach.
