Woman on an island, day 28

I'm up just before sunrise, everything is so quiet here this morning. I sit and listen to the sounds of the island- the waves crashing on the rocks, some wild boars rooting in the distance and the eternal din of the jungle. I eat a quick breakfast of leftover pork and bananas before grabbing my bag and tool kit and heading out.  I look at some trees near the coast but the trees are too bendable and unsteady and the wind is too much, I move deeper into the jungle. I find a small clearing and contemplate building a house but again I don't want to live on the ground any more. After a few hours searching I find it! A nice open spot, surrounded by the jungle and in the centre a huge tree with beautiful open branches. I look around and see some bush pigs running around and I notice one little black one staring at me intently...weird. I start planning for my new tree top home!
