Dry Times

You'll notice in my entirely small list of things I took from the compound I didn't mention I brought water.  Ordinarily this wouldn't be a huge issue since in most normal areas water can be found nearby to be drank (like say a large body of water I arrived in, sadly salt water is useless for drinking without being able to heat it up, and I didn't take pots, pans, or ignition materials). The lands of the east though were apparently suffering through the worst drought in the history of droughts (for those wondering how the sea could be having a continuous storm of horrifying proportions and the east be dry as all dry? The answer is simply magic and I'm not just bullshitting you as usual, err ever).

So I didn't have water, adequate clothing, pistols that would reliably fire, or even a good amount of food to survive on. Clearly I was ready for wandering a land filled with creepy flesh monsters that can look normal until they bloom into some horrible skinless shrieking beast of nightmares (thats obvious sarcasm unless you couldn't pick that up).  It took one day for me to be so dehyrdated I worried about taking a piss for fear of losing precious nutrients (I mean its not like as a slave I was living high on the hog anyway). Day two lead me to halucinations of me (naturally anytime I hallucinate its always a seperate me with which to converse, sometimes I think I'm so lonely I imagine myself as the best person to talk to, and I'm totally right). This version of myself wasn't really a talker though, he was just leading me to bump into things and to flail about like someone dying of thirst (what a dick!)

The third day saw me running into what else, a gods damned cave.  And of course because I was dying of thirst I thought "Eh what bad thing can come from a cave?" Aside from just about every damn evil thing I've ever run across in the history of ever. And thats where the next entry will jump off from.  I'll leave you with a taste, I don't die of thirst, but I do find the secret to happiness in life (the second part is totally a lie).
