Chapter 20

　　RILEY:

　　I'm surprised that I've lasted this long out here. Surprised that I haven't been found yet. It makes me wonder if they were even on the lookout for me at all.

　　However, I'm beginning to think this was a bad idea. The more I venture into the woods, the more I find it tasking. I haven't even found a means of getting out of it. One that would help me figure my next line of action. Instead I keep going deeper and deeper.

　　My legs were dog-tired from not resting them for hours. I just want to find a place to sit at this point but nowhere around is offering that kind of position for me.

　　I stop walking to take a break. My legs could use a minute or two before they start working again.

　　"This was a really bad idea," I tell myself while I gasp for air. "I should have stayed back, hatched a better plan. I don't think I'm getting anywhere with this."
