The cogon bed!
I hurried and went on my knees while my hands feel the dried grass.
It's still warm!
That means someone was sleeping here not long ago.
A sense of relief and happiness filled me, which ultimately left me baffled.
I'm just happy because that means he hadn't left and he didn't report the incident to his superiors.
I agree with my thoughts.
Or he wanted to search the mountains for survivors to kill.
My face sank. Panic replaced the warmth within seconds, and I sighed in surrender.
There's no use in overthinking things.
What will happen will happen.
The important thing is to survive during these times of war.
I gathered my bearing and made my way towards the stream.
I was too focused on my thoughts that I didn't notice I was already near the river, out in the open. When my eyes decided to check the stream for any signs of life, it almost went out of its sockets.
