Chapter
13
I
wasn't sure what to do next. If I could
guess I would say it is about eleven p.m., but for that to be that time of day
I must have laid there knocked out for twelve or thirteen hours. I was so lost right now but I knew I had to
calm myself down because I didn't want to drive myself crazy and do something
without thinking it through entirely. Guess I should have thought about that
before I climbed the tree. The fire was
dwindling down so I got back up and looked around for some bigger branches. After I gathered up a few and tossed them on
the fire I started to feel my body settling down, finally getting warm again. The
fire lit up the area good, so I took a good look around. I walked up to the
lakes edge where the trails split. I looked to the right down the trail then
looked to the left down that trail. As I did, I noticed that same kind of
blurriness like before, kind of like when you look across a fire and see the
heat waves. I looked back to the other trail and it was clear. I thought to
myself what now? Am I seeing the same thing as I saw last night? or whenever
that was because to be honest, I didn't even really know what time it was or
what day it was anymore. I squinted my
eyes and focused on the trail and without thought, which I said I wasn't going
to do, and stepped down the trail toward the blurry part. I could almost hear
something, like a quiet humming sound and curious I went closer until I felt I
was right by it. I stood there a little
while then turned back and looked over at the fire. Nothing seemed weird there,
so I turned back, then like before I slowly reached my hand toward the blurry
area. As soon as my hand touched it my
hand disappeared again. I jumped back and looked down at my hand and then back
up at the blurry area. I was scared but I wanted to see what it was. I slowly reached out my hand again and as it
disappeared this time I didn't jump back. Nothing felt wrong so I stepped
forward into the haze, and as I did…….
