I had been searching for weeks for Amara. She had been lost as a child in the jungle after her parents plane crashed in the hills. Only rumoured to have survived, I have set of to find her.
I find traces of human activity, discarded wooden and stone weapons, etchings on trees and rocks. I feel like I'm close.
I awake in my camp, with the feeling that I'm being watched. And there, from the far side of the camp, she sits, staring at me, her eyes focused like a predator.
She is quiet at first, I draw her nearer with an offer of food. She is curious, but obviously skittish. Can I get her to stay, or even return with me...only time will tell.
