Wtf is going on??

Sunlight struck my face and I scrunched my nose in an attempt to block it out. I rolled over to get some more sleep, when I heard the birds. Why are there birds in my room?

Slowly, I cracked my eyes open to see rich, dark earth and the odd dead stick. Jerking upright, I noticed the trees around me. I calmed realising I fell asleep in a tree, but then something set off alarm bells in my head. I fell asleep in the tree. I'm on the floor.

"What the fuck?! The hell am I?" Multiple birds squawked as they were disturbed by my panicked yelling. I could clearly tell this wasn't the forest I fell asleep in because a) I was on the floor, and b) these were completely different trees. The ones in my forest were pine, with a few scattered oak trees – these were mostly birch, but there were a few I didn't even recognise. 'Where the hell are my woods? How did I get here? What just happened? Why is it so damn warm?' Throwing my jumper off, I quickly scrambled to my feet and tied it around my waist.  All I found nearby was my backpack, which now makes sense cos I was wearing it but at the time I was a bit panicked, if ya couldn't tell.

Obviously overwhelmed by the change in scenery, I couldn't control my emotions like usual – and so I sat down heavily, eyes filling with tears. After a period of confusion, I wiped my eyes and stood up, wringing out my now-soaked green jumper.

Once I'd calmed down a tad, I tried to focus on the priorities. I stumbled to my bag and picked it up. I knew that I needed to find some kind of shelter or civilisation before the sun set, so my first priority would be finding the time. Rifling through my bag, I noticed something vital – my phone wasn't there. Shit! Of course, I had left it on my nightstand to charge while I slept like usual, but I was a bit muddled at this point. Digging through my backpack, I found it was still full of my college books and supplies. Unzipping the front pocket, I found my investigation had paid off. It was full of all my emergency shit: some cereal bars, a bottle of water, a pair of secateurs, antiseptic cream, bandages, and water purification tablets. Josh thought I was insanely paranoid for taking all this shit everywhere. But hey! Who's laughing now?

Now slightly calmer due to the familiarity of my shit, I wracked my brain to figure out what to do next. Finally coming to a decision, I pulled my bag on and found a suitable tree. Climbing to the top of it, I scoured the sky, hoping to find the sun. It was directly above me, high and bright. I knew this meant that it was sometime near midday, 'cause I remember useless shit from those god-awful girl-guiding sessions. It's not useless now I guess. I then looked around to try and find some sort of civilisation. Finding nothing but trees as far as I could see and a cliff behind me, I decided to just follow my nose, as Gandalf tells everyone to do. I mean, I kinda sorta didn't but it sounded cooler in my head. Swinging back down the tree, I continued on foot through the forest. I had set off in the direction away from the cliff - I knew that I would most likely fail in climbing it (and there was no chance anyone was living in a mountain eh?), though regretted giving up the high ground.

I found the edge of the forest, finally.

Only, all I could see was a large plain. Then what seemed like another forest on the other side.

"Well....isn't that helpful" I muttered. "Maybe it would just be best for me to try and survive within the forest. After all, I ain't gonna find any food out here"

Deciding to just wait out inevitable death inside the forest, away from detection, I made my way to a large rowan. I had been venturing towards the edge of the forest for what felt like years so I pulled a bottle of water from my backpack and took a few sips. I knew I needed to save water though, so I also rationed myself till I found a safe water source.
