The rest of my family and the hunting group returned to the cave with a decent amount of food for today. They were fairly shocked, and glad to find me fully awake. It's unnecessary to trade conversations right now. We automatically get that everyone has been fighting against some kind of hunger. For me, I realize how hungry I was until I catch a glimpse of the miraculous source of food they have gathered. Foods that were only available to us in the city (pre-hiding time): plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and meat for the non-vegetarians. Little time was wasted, and more time was spent on feeding our empty stomaches. With a great relief, we had a long conversation after the meal.
~ It won't be long before we either survive or die from starvation. This cave secured us inside the confinement of its walls. It doesn't provide food, or safety outside. Because of the lack of food resources near our area, different groups must risk their life to search for edible things farther into the woods. If only this is possible. We had food for today, but what about tomorrow? You see, one of the younger guys in out group reported that most of the woods were in fire, leaving the ground with ashes. Less food. If they could've seen it beforehand, more foods could've been collected. But they didn't. We have no clue if it's the act of nature or humanity. We don't know, therefore, we are stuck in here for protection.
Is this the end? Dying from starvation? O God, only You know everything. I — everyone of us long to be with you in heaven. The wages of sin is death, but are there any spark of hope for us to live in you forever?
