Lost

Chapter 8

*~ Deep Sleep ~*

I don't know how long I have been walking, but the snow has piled up several inches off the ground. Maybe I should find a place to rest and warm-up. Nah, I don't think I need to right now, I'll just do it later.

I stumbled a bit but caught myself before I fell. Why am I stumbling so much? Is it because it's snowing? Whatever the reason, it's probably not important. I continue walking, not entirely sure if I was going in the right direction. But I don't remember the direction I was going in, and even if I did I wouldn't be able to check.

I started to notice that there were fewer trees the further I walked. I examined the terrain in front of me and noticed that the trees stopped completely a few hundred feet in front of me. I must have come across a tundra.

I continued walking towards the tundra, not caring that it was a stupid idea and that I'll probably succumb to hypothermia and die. (I hated writing this chapter, in case you couldn't tell by the last sentence) Once I was in the tundra it got noticeably windier and somehow even colder. The snow was also much deeper here than it was in the forest.

The longer I was out in the tundra the more tired I got. It felt like I was going to pass out at any moment. I was also getting more and more clumsy, I was barely able to walk without falling. It didn't help that I was shaking a lot. Maybe I should have tried to find a place to take shelter. Would that of even helped?

I would of continued thinking about how stupid I had been acting if I could, but everything blurred. The terrain in front blended together and I couldn't understand my own thoughts. Then I was on the ground, I had fallen. I didn't even try to get up, I was too tired to care.

Soon I had fallen into a deep dreamless sleep, not to be woken up by the stinging of the snow, or the loud wind that filled the air.

367 Words: I'm not sure if I portrayed hypothermia correctly, I feel like I exaggerated some of the symptoms. But I'll just use the excuse that Ranboo isn't human therefore they most likely experience hypothermia differently than humans.
