I wouldn’t bother to leave a mound or sign indicating that the remains of a human being lay there. I would remember, and there was no one else to tell.

Perhaps, somewhere, humanity is flourishing under the stars, unaware that a daughter of its blood is ending her days in silence.

There will always be something appealing about survival stories. From childhood books like Hatchet, to prehistoric fiction like Clan of the Cave Bear, to sci-fi colonies and apocalyptic survivors, I'll never tire of people in difficult situations finding ways to live.

I'm also reminded of Primitive Technology on YouTube. Judging by the channel's popularity, clearly I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I lived in a perpetual present and I was gradually forgetting my story.
