Chap 10 THINKING

I emerged from the other side, breathing heavily, and looked back to see the frog desperately trying to squeeze through the crevice. Its massive form proved to be too large, and it was stuck. Taking advantage of the moment, I quickly put as much distance between myself and the trapped frog as possible, making my escape through the dense cave structure.

Relieved and grateful for my lucky escape, I leaned against the wall of the cave trying to calm my beating heart. Eventually, I slid down and sat. Then I suddenly out of nowhere.

"He he he haha haaa," I chuckled to myself, still feeling the rush of the fight.

"What a rush!" I exclaimed, letting out a deep breath.

I found out that I really like the feeling of toying with death, living on the edge. I truly was an adrenaline junkie. Eventually, I came to a realization, "This island was perfect for me."

After calming down some more, I realized that I would need to come up with a better plan to deal with the formidable frog in the future. But for now, I would have to rely on my wits, skills, and the random twists of fate to survive on this unforgiving island until I could win through sheer strength.

As I settled into the cave, I carefully reflected on my close encounter with the monstrous frog. It was clear that defeating it would require more than just brute force and a makeshift spear. I would need to come up with a well-thought-out strategy and gather more resources and allies to increase my chances of success in future encounters. With renewed determination, I began to plan my next move, knowing that luck alone wouldn't be enough to overcome the challenges that lay ahead on this wild and mysterious island.

As I entered the underground cave, I noticed that it was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering in through the cracks in the rocks above. The walls were made of rough, jagged rocks, with small patches of moss and lichen growing in some areas. The ground was uneven, with rocks and pebbles scattered throughout. The air was damp and musty, with a faint smell of earth and minerals.

Despite the cave's rough appearance, it felt surprisingly peaceful and serene. There was a quiet stillness in the air, and the sound of dripping water echoed gently in the distance. As I explored the cave, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the natural beauty that surrounded me. The rocks glimmered with a subtle hint of minerals, and the small patches of green moss provided a vibrant contrast against the gray and brown hues of the cave.

I continued to explore, taking in every detail, until I came across a small pool of crystal-clear water. It was so clear that I could see the small pebbles at the bottom of the pool. The water was cool and refreshing, and I couldn't resist the urge to take a quick dip. I stripped down to my underwear and jumped in, letting the cool water wash over me. It was a brief moment of respite.
