Man on an island, day 356
I could barely sleep last night and I'm up at the crack of dawn, I put out the fire and head out in the direction I saw the reflection come from. It cannot be anything else than a piece of metal the sun reflected on unless I have made a huge mistake. After an hour's walk, I climb a tree to get my barrings- I see the hill from this morning and I know I'm still on course. It's not long before I start finding signs of a plane crash- Scorched trees and pieces of plant covered wreckage. I can't be far off now. I start running, breaking through the foliage but then something makes me stop, perhaps my Ranger training. I see a clearing coming up and there it is! The cargo plane! The wreckage has been strewn over a large area but the nose of the plane seems intact. I want to rush over but then I see something at the last second...Somebody else is here! I duck behind a log and I wait....
