Awakening

If you're reading this, then you've found my journal. I would introduce myself; however, I do not know who I am. Yes, I know that sounds a bit silly; however, it is the truth.

I just awoke a few hours ago on a hillside overlooking a vast blue sea, or at least what appears to be a sea. I could see land far in the distance.

Like my name or who I am, I have no clue where I am. I sat on this hillside, staring out at the ocean for hours. I can remember things and places I know I've seen or been, but just not who I am. I don't even have a clue of how I got to this place.

I decided it would be best to search my surroundings, and see if I could find someone who knew who I was or at least where I was. Upon scanning the area more, I noted the land stretched farther than I could see.

I set out in search of help, but the land seemed deserted. I saw no one after miles of walking. Then, in the distance, there looked to be a house or structure of some sort. I couldn't tell at first, so I continued my trek toward it.

Upon reaching my destination, my heart sank. It was indeed a house; however, long abandoned it seemed, as well as partially destroyed. There may have been a fire, but I'm not sure. Surely, something devastating occurred there at some point in time due to the extent of the damage.

I entered the hovel not expecting much in the way of human life, and I was not surprised. The place was barren of any type of life and almost anything else. I did find this tome that I'm currently writing in. My suspicion of fire must have been correct; though, as the cover and many of pages in this book were burnt. It does seem like someone was using it as a journal before me, but those pages that remain are far too damaged to read.

The inside of the house wasn't much better than the outside. There was damage all over the structure, so much that I'm not sure how it still stands. Besides the book, I found a few other useful implements inside. Without them, I wouldn't be able to document this journal!

And now I sit outside the shack, writing down my thoughts here in case something happens to me, so that if anyone is looking for me they'll know. But I haven't a clue if there is or not, or even what to do from here. I'm pretty hungry, though.

I also don't think this ruin will make a good shelter, and I don't know what the night will bring. So, I have to find food and place to stay before the sun sets on my new little world.
