A day as a hunter-gatherer...
It's been almost a week now. I have seen nothing. No bears, wolves, not even squirrels. Right now it is dark. I have never hunted in the dark before, but I am desperate. Unfortunately, my hearing isn't all that great. It is almost winter. And all the bears will be hibernating. I don't know how long I can last on just berries. My legs are now weak, I can't even run anymore. I hate that my kids can't have what they want. I hate that I can't say that I just can't find any food so they won't see me as a failure. It could be possible that this life just isn't for me. At times I think that I should just give it up to be a farmer. Then I could have lots of food for myself and my family. And during the winter seasons we wouldn't have to suffer because we can just store our food. I hear something..... leaves rustling. This could be it! It could finally happen! A stray wolf? Or maybe a bear if I'm lucky...
