Into the Wild Experience Day 1
It was 8:30 PM. There aren't many places where I can see but still enjoy solitude, but sometimes it feels good to give the sense of sight and use other senses. Even though I'm close to nature, I am still constantly bogged down by sound of traffic from the highway, engines of airplanes, and even the loud shrieks of various boarders. I find it very hard to be truly away from society. However, time feels to have stopped being alone and clearing my mind.

Into the Wild Experience
I will be doing a natural solitude for 20 minutes a day. I will try to get up early in the morning and maybe try to go on a hike in the mountains if I can. This will allow me to devote lots of time to think about life in general and clear my mind up for so solitude time.

Standing 50 feet away, looking kind of spooked
It was
2053, the world was divided into two: living space and the landfills. My friend
and I grew up right on the edge between the two sides. We often ran
around the apartments exploring secret corners, but mama always told us
not to ever take a step into the landfills. Said there was a great beast
that’ll chew me up into bits. I believed her, of course, and never dared to
step foot into the area. My friend, however, is always the one who causes
trouble.
One day,
after our technological feeding session, my friend and I hopped onto the taxi
ride back home. Before I could react, my friend told the automated car receiver
that we were heading towards the center of the landfills. Since everything is
automated, I could not do anything until we arrived at the spot. As we crossed
the borders, the whole ambience darkened. The sky was red hot and the musty air
sifted into through the windows. I saw movements throughout the junk, but I
couldn’t distinguish whether it was the heat that’s messing with my eyes or
they were the people my feeding session inputted in me. I was taught that these were the people in
the landfills who were living in a dreamless society and have no hope in ever
living as true humans today.
The car
stopped as we stepped onto a trash mound. The stench immediately filled my nose
and made breathing difficult. Suddenly, my friend immediately began running
towards another taller mound. I began chasing him. Mound after mound, my friend
kept running as if he were searching for something. I immediately ran out of
breath. Finally, we came to a cliff, and down below, we saw a mighty white cube
sitting in the middle of a crater. We sprinted towards the cube but the closer
we arrived, the darker the clouds became and the hotter the temperature. The
temperature was soon unbearable, but my friend went even closer so I was forced
to follow. Then, we saw an open window in the cube with a cool gust coming from
within. We immediately jumped in, and we landed with a crunch. It was a
skeleton that we have landed on. The skeleton still had clothes on and a rotten
stench tells us that it wasn’t long before this person died. There was
absolutely nothing left except for a small note left. We carefully unfolded it.
On it, it stated: Whatever you do, do not return.
