Third week

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]To my dear friends,

I sure hope that things are okay down town! Or rather better than I am doing at the moment.

Right now I'm sheltering in a cave in the mountain, the weather is horrible. Not only that but my health isn't the best as well.
I'm running a fever and I can barely go out to hunt or anything like that.
I think this mountain is cursed or rather the people who climb it. In the week that I've been climbing this oversized hill, I fell more than five times, sank into mud plenty of times and got stuck in a blizzard near the summit.

My arm is sore and I had several open wounds due my falls. I think one of them got infected, but I'm already too late to treat it properly and there aren't any herbs around here. The only thing I can do is try to rest as much as possible and move out once the fever is down a bit.
I am going to take the long way back, around the mountain. I don't want to go through this again...

The best thing I see now is the fire that I managed to start. And that I had some food saved, so I won't starve. I really need to move on though and I think I will tomorrow or the day after. The sooner I get away from this snow, the better.

The feeling that something is watching me still lingers as well. It's really bugging me, especially because I don't sense a human or something that is out of place....
Perhaps my mind is playing tricks on me, I guess that is what loneliness does to a being.

Love,

Jack Edward MacGaven
