> Try searching for an abandoned campsite or hunting retreat to use. If you do not have a phone on you you can try looking for one there and try using it to attempt to communicate with the animals in their own language via Google Translate.

> Wake up and go to the stream.

Your eyes snap open, and you gasp for air. Your body hurts like hell. You look down at your chest, which is caked with blood and stardust. You hope it doesn't get infected.

You look above. The tree is still ablaze. Flaming branches fall to the ground, the flames crackling through the air.

You grab a flaming branch off the ground and go off toward the stream. You've been trying to make fire for days, there's no way you're letting it get away from you now.

Somehow you make it to the stream, though you were still reeling from the fall and didn't remember in which direction you'd seen it.

> Wash your face of your tearstreaks at the stream

You set your branch upon the firewood you had gathered earlier, before stepping into the stream. You wash the tears and dried mud off of your face, emerging clean and fresh once more.

While you're at it, you decide to wash up the rest of you as well. The river turns sparkling red as you wash the blood and stardust off your chest wound. It hurts to breathe.

>Calm down and have hope

You take a deep breath, feeling the fresh river air flow through your lungs. You wince slightly.

It's okay, you tell yourself. You're alive. And you have fire. It's going to be ok.

> Search for healing herbs

You step out of the stream and get dressed, scanning the area for herbs.

You find some mint, and eat it. It clears up your airwaves, making breathing a little easier.

> Pee in the river

You pee in the river.

> Wonder if I at least have a phone.

You have 12 cents, a mangled paperclip, a wad of gum stuck to a mushroom, and a dead squirrel.

> Try searching for an abandoned campsite or hunting retreat[...]

You scour the woods for signs of civilization, and at long last come across a campsite! Unfortunately, it's abandoned, but it must mean there are people nearby.

By sheer luck, you manage to find a phone. There's no signal, but the phone has a dictionary app of all animal languages. Pretty handy. It also contains all sorts of other apps that may or may not be useful in the future.

>Flip off the owl spirit

You flip the middle finger up to the sky. Thunder rumbles in the distance.

What do you do?

> Communicate with the animals using the phone to see if they're willing to be friends or not. Maybe get revenge on the squirrels by saying the most insulting thing you can think about them.

> Communicate with the animals using the phone[...]

You find a nasty squirrel. You turn on your translator app and call the squirrel a lil' kid. The squirrel chitters something at you and bites your hand before running away. As you drop the phone on the ground, a mechanical voice translates:

"You'll pay for what you did to Dave."

>Pick up everything in the campsite

There is a ruined tarp strung between two trees. You pull it down and start piling everything you can find into it. It's mostly assorted garbage.

You do find a wooden figure hanging from a branch - you aren't really sure what it's supposed to be, just that it's constructed from wooden twigs. Like some kind of abstract forest art. You take it for yourself.

> Try the other apps on the phone.

Most of the apps require internet access, which you do not have, but you find a couple games. You waste a good hour playing them. You get a warning, telling you your battery is low.

> Salvage stuff from the campsite to make temporary shelter.

There is a circle of embers where the campers must have made a campfire, though it has long ago gone out. You soon realize the tarp you took could shield you from the rain, but you debate whether it would be worth getting rid off all your useless garbage.

> Try cooking the dead squirrel

Damn, you left your fire behind by the river.

Should you go back there? You're unsure if you could find your way there and back again.

Or should you try your hand with two rocks again?

Either way, you would have to gather more wood.

> Try to communicate on the phone

You have no signal, and your battery is low.

What do you do?

> Gather more woods

You gather branches and twigs from the trees and set them in the firepit.

> Search around the forest[...]

Despite having no idea how to build such things, you search the forest anyways. However, without knowing what you are looking for, you soon become hopelessly lost. It is now the dead of night.

> Check on fire

You figure you should check on the fire you left behind. You wander through the woods, trying to find the stream. Instead, you come across the flaming tree you left earlier. The fire is spreading quickly, and the tree will soon be set to collapse.

> Inspect wooden figure

You inspect it. You suppose it looks a little like some sort of person, made of twigs. You have no idea what it could be used for.

What do you do?
