I'm back packing through a deserted forest ...

... all by myself and am lost. I have little to eat and am famished. I drop my backpack and sit down on the log of wood and rummage through my backpack looking for food. "Gosh, have I gone through my last pack of bars?" I mutter under my breath in despair.
 
I'm making a fire getting ready for the night. I have already put up my tent and checked my supplies. Plenty to stay a few more nights out here. The fire starts to burn nicely and I start to sharpen my knife.
 
I see a faint orange glow in a distance. Hopeful, I pick up my bag and cautiously approach the glow. As I draw closer, the smell of the fire awakens sweet memories of bonfire fun and comfort. Stepping on dry leaves, as I near the fire I see a human figure mending to his tool. "Heads up" I yell as I approach from behind.
 
A bit startled I look back. "Hello there, I didn't expect anyone else here. Come closer so I can take a look. You shouldn't approach people from. Behind like that..."

My hand is under my jacked as you get closer. Once you are in the light I seem to relax a bit.

"What are you doing out here on your own?"
 
I approach the fire as I turn to look at you and answer "Sorry about that, but I'm back packing alone and I'm lost." I remove my hands from my pocket and extend them towards the fire. "Who are you? I surmise you are a fellow traveller in these forsaken woods" I say as I look around your camp site.
 
"I am not traveling, I'm camping in these woods, they aren't as forsaken as everyone thinks". I grab some cans of food and suspend them above the fire.

"Acctualy, when you know the spots it can look quite beautiful". "So why are you alone? A pretty girl like you shouldn't be out here"
 
"Oh, so you are camping here. Neat. I'm just lost, don't know my way forward or backward." I reply as my famished eyes stare awkwardly at the cans being suspended over the fire. "Are there more campers nearby? I'd love to see more people here if it is actually a camp site"
 
" I thought you would be hungry" I empty the can in a bowl and give it to you. " I have seen and talked to some other people. But it's not like it's crowded". "What are you traveling too?"
 
"Thanks" I say as I extend my feeble arms to accept the hot bowl. "I'm Kathy by the way, and you have no idea how much I appreciate your hospitality, I am famished". Amidst my slurping of the soup from the bowl, I respond "I intended to travel to Knoxville backpacking but I lost my way. Where are we anyway?"
 
" no problem, always willing to help a fellow outdoorsman / woman". "Especially when they are as pretty as you" I add winking.

"We are a long way from Knoxville". "How is your weather supply?". "When was your last good rest?" You look very tired. I turn up the fire a bit getting you nice and warm.
 
"thanks charming fellow outdoorsman" I respond with a wink of my own, "what do people have to do to know your name around here?"
"I have enough weather supply, my small tent, sleeping bag and all. I'm just low on food and water now. Thanks for asking" I finish my bowl and look around to locate a spot for my tent. "Have not had a good rest in 3 days since I lost my way. Where should I pitch? I'm ready to crash"
 
"call me Gerben, Kathy. are you going to put up that tent in the dark?"

"I can hand you some food but am low on water myself. We could go to the stream tomorrow"

"I have extra room in my tent, I'd you don't snore" I add jokingly
 
"I'll help you get water tomorrow. Do you know the way to the nearest town? I'd like to set out for it tomorrow." I look around and spot a small clearing across the fire from your tent. "I can set up there, it won't be dark. What do you even do with a spare room in your tent when you are camping alone?"
 
"That's a deal on the water, yes you could set up there" I look a bit disappointed.

" I have the extra room for when j come across a damsel in distress" I say smiling.

"The town's a bit upstream, like a full days walk."
 
"Chivalrous, are we?" I wink and smile as I respond to you damsel in distress comment.
I remove my tiny tent from the backpack and set it up.
"Good night Gerben, I'll see you tomorrow morning" I say as I enter my tent. "And by the way, I don't snore" I add as I slip inside the tent and disappear.
 
I look at your butt when you enter the tent. "Good night" Then I finish up sharpening my knife and start to put out the fire.

I look up at the stars before I enter my own tent.
 
I look back and catch your eyes staring at my ass. "Hmmm, he's into asses" I think to myself as I slip inside my sleeping bag and doze off to sleep.

I awaken early and exit my tent yelling "Gerben, you up yet? Lets go to the stream"
 
I turn in my sleeping bags not waking up to your yelling.

Turning around, snoring loudly
