Stranded: A Desperate Situation It was a cold winter's night and my car had broken down in the middle of a long lonesome dirt road without phone reception, surrounded by miles of forest terrain. I hadn't seen a passing car in two hours on my trip and I was still a solid seven hours drive from my destination. As I opened the glove box of my car, I pulled out a map to look at, so then I would realise where about's I was. While looking at the gigantic map, the road I was on seemed to not exist. And even though I had chosen to take the the road I did, I had no clue of knowing how to escape this dark, misty dirt road. As I laid back in my seat and tried to sleep until sunrise, I heard a strange noise coming from forest. It was freezing cold and my body refused to exit the car. The strange noise continued for half an hour straight and I could no longer resist but to go and search for where this noise was coming from. As I opened my car door, I placed my foot down in thick mud. Already I did not want to enter my car again as I was not willing to get my brand new car dirty. As I placed both feet down in the thick mud, I began to walk towards where the noise was coming from. I was only wearing a t-shirt and short pants so I was struggling to walk at a fast pace in this cold weather. After walking about a mile, I looked around me in the dark forest, noticing to being surrounded by large tree vines. The noise was now only metres away and I began to kneel down on one leg and creep up on this mysterious creature without it noticing me. Everything went silent... I began to look around me, but nothing was to be seen. As I moved my right foot, something was grabbing hold of it in the thick muddy long grass. …and then things took a turn
