《Offworld》Deadly Encounter 1

*chirp* *chirp* *chirp*
The sound of birds was playing in the distance was very beautifully, but for me it wasn’t really that enjoyable.
While the chirping sound of the birds echoed in the forest, the sun also begun to rise in the east. I slowly got up from the ground where I was sitting and started to stretch.
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Ha, that hits the spot”
I went back inside to eat something, but halfway there I remembered that the fridge was empty turned to the backpack next to find only one fruit left. I picked it up, cut it open and ate it unceremoniously. It was able to satiate my hunger for now but I needed more. After that I went to the backyard to take a looong shit because without running water the toilet was not an option.
After I took a shit I decided to look around.
The backyard was no more the green heaven that it once was, it now stood bare of any green except for the orange which I was pleasantly surprised that at least had survived.
I approached to take a closer look and found that although the orange had withered somehow it still had some green leaves intact. This was very good because if the orange survived I wouldn’t have to worry about the fruits I ate were poisonous anymore.
“I really have to find a stable source of food as soon as possible. Eating fruits is not that bad but this was the wrong time to become a vegetarian .I needed to eat some fresh meat if I want to continue to stay as healthy as possible. Drinking water was also a problem but I think I have found a solution.”
I packed my backpack with anything I needed also taking one 1.5 L empty plastic bottle with me.

...
The sun had finally risen completely, shining its golden aura towards everything in this world.
I decided that I would scout the perimeter of the crater gradually and maybe find anything about this place and if there was any way out of the forest. The direction I choose was the opposite one of yesterdays.
I slowly set out with the spear on my hand... I was still moving slowly and carefully but more relaxed than yesterday.
In about 20 minutes I arrived at the edge of the crater, and raised my head out to see.
The forest was still as quiet as yesterday, but I wasn’t taking any chances. I slowly got out of the crater and then rushed to the nearest tree. This tree was gigantic, at least 80 meters tall and 10 meters wide, but it was not comparable to some of trees in the distance. They were really monstrous with their height of at least 200 meters tall and 30 meters wide, they were really like world trees that popped up in various fantasy works of literature.
First in today’s agenda is securing some water, and how will I do it you may ask?
I was going to collect the morning dew that had accumulated in the leaves of some of the smallest foliage around me. I choose a plant about 2 meters tall that was like a potted plant that was normally seen in offices. It was the one that had the big leaves that always stood on the corner like a staple for every office space.
I took my 1.5 L bottle and started collecting the morning dew of the leaf carefully for about two minutes until it was filled to the brim. I then put it in my backpack to be consumed latter when I went back to the house and boiled it first.

I was not going to be stupid enough to drink the water without boiling it first and killing any bacteria living in it before drinking it.
I was in an alien world and I could be killed by a hungry beast at any moment, but I really didn't want to die because I got some bacterial disease from unfiltered water.
After I filled all my bottles including my two 500 ml ones I moved slowly onwards .During the way I saw some other carcasses and absorbed them until I came across a peculiar one. This carcass looked different from the others and when I came close I immediately understood why.
It was some type of feline looking animal with grey fur .It was two heads taller than me and at least 4 meters in length without taking its tail into consideration.
It was definitely a predator with its razor sharp teeth that were as long as 20 cm and its hocked claws. The spiked tail only made it look more dangerous and ferocious.
I frowned looking at this deadly beasts lying dead in front of me.
I guessed from yesterday that if the carcases the animals were big the predators were going to be big as well, but this was really alarming.
“I really have to strengthen myself fast if I don't want to become a meal of one of these alien beasts.”
