Breathtaking
This young man is an old soul. His strength defies his years. I wish him the very best life has to offer. He deserves a wonderful life.

Very good story!
I loved the way he literally "got out alive"! It just goes to show what a little determination can do. Very inspiring!

Getting Out Alive: The Noah Messenger Story
An amazing short story! He probably was in better shape than most of us, along with his younger age. Kudos!

Too short
The story was good, concise and intriguing but disappointed in how extremely short the book was for the money paid.

short and quick
Short book with interesting story without much detail. Lacks back story and information about his outcome other than surviving with his life ( not a spoiler!).

Noah decides to go for a walk after finishing work while he waits for a co-worker to finish and take him home. Noah walks further down the trek than he usually does but this time the ground crumbles and he plummets to his death down the side of a cliff.
Noah has to move fast, he crawls to a place where someone will be able to see him only he doesn't realise that no one is looking for him as his co worker who was supposed to be taking him home couldn't find him so he thought that Noah had decided to walk home and he didn't know that Noah was missing the next day as he didn't go into work.
Meanwhile in the following two days Noah was determined to survive so he dragged himself across a dangerous land to a farm where he got the help that he needed.
Noah is a true survivor, his injuries were server and could have been made a lot worse by dragging himself as far as he did but fortunately he managed to survive the fall and the weather.
