RUN.

Whatever you do, don't stop. I was running as fast as I could, I jumped behind a large tree and curl up against the base of it hoping I wouldn't be seen. I hear the sounds of heavy breathing and loud shouting that slowly fade away. A few moments go by and all is silent... I think that I lost them.

Hi my name is Jack, In case you are wondering what just happened, I was just being chased by a pack of about four goblins. Why were they chasing me you ask? Well the answer to that question is quite simple, They had some food with them that they were cooking over an open fire and I was awfully hungry. Hey don't judge me for stealing, a man has got to eat. Thankfully they are actually pretty stupid, relying solely on brute force to capture those unlucky enough to cross their paths. The only problem is that they tend to stay together in small groups, which normally wouldn't be terrible if I had the proper weaponry to defend myself, but all I have is a large dagger about the size of my forearm. I have been traveling alone now for almost eight months, traveling from town to town just drifting, taking what I need to survive, ever since it happened. What happened? Well I don't really like to talk about it but the town where I lived got attacked in the middle of the night burning everything to the ground, showing no mercy. My mother told my to run and my parents fought them off long enough for me to get away. I was the only survivor of the massacre. Now all I can do is look for those who took my family's lives. From that day I vowed that I would attain my revenge, no matter the cost.

But right now I am alone in this damn forest being chased by all sorts of creatures. Luckily I have been able to evade these predators for now. This particular forest was filled with all kinds of creepy crawlies, luckily enough I am only about a day and a half's travel to the nearest town. That is a nice thought but right now I need to find shelter before nightfall, because I know that they will be back. I walked ahead for a few hours, seeing nothing but trees, rocks and traces of wildlife until I found a small water stream, which i followed probably another mile. Exhausted, I sat by the water for a few moments and took a drink. Not the cleanest tasting water but it would just have to do.

Only a couple more hours until sunset. I gathered some big branches and did my best to make myself a shelter that would hide me from the enemies of the night. Within an hour I had placed enough branches covered with leaves against a tree so that I would be completely covered. As shitty as it was proud of my little new home, I would be able to call it home for the night before moving on to hopefully find a small town where I could find new clothes, food and hopefully weapons. After all if I want to get justice on those who took away all that I had, I think that it is going to take more than a dagger and my wits.
