... hot! That was also very strange. In the desert, mornings could be almost dangerously cold, even in summer. It should have been a lot cooler than the last night. I drank some water and went on the hunt. I flipped rocks over many times and saw two snakes, but they were too quick and escaped to other holes in the rock pile.
I had an idea! I'd pour water on the rocks to cool them. That might work! I made at least twenty trips to the puddle and back with my two bottles and poured them on the rocks. I waited a good half hour for the rocks and snakes to cool down. I flipped several rocks over with my stick and saw another snake. I hit it with the stick several times, until it stopped moving. YES! FOOD!
But how was I going to clean and cook it? I had no knife, and no fire. The broken glass! I placed my meager belongings near the puddle, and retrieved the broken glass and some sticks. I carefully used a sharp edge of the broken bottle to gut the snake and remove the head. I peeled the bark off the sticks. It was very dry. Good! I shredded the bark up and put it in a small pile, with the smallest sticks nearby. I used a piece of the broken bottle as a lens, and tried to get the bark hot, like a kid cooking bugs with a magnifying glass.
I held the glass a long time, until my hand started to cramp up. I felt the bark. A small piece was hot, but nowhere close to igniting. There were no signs of smoke. I held the glass for at least an hour, but it just didn't work. I didn't ...
... have any string to make a bow drill fire. I had heard there were ways to just rub sticks together to make fire but didn't know the details. I hadn't seen any flint around and had no metal to use it with anyway.
I guess it was raw snake, or nothing. But wait! Maybe I could slice it thin and dry it in the sun? It was worth a try! By the time I had it sliced in long thin strips and set them on a large rock, the sun was directly overhead. It didn't feel any hotter than the morning, but it was very uncomfortable if I moved around at all. My forehead was sweating, and I drank some more water. I stayed in the shade of the cliffs as much as possible, but it didn't seem to help much.
I made four more attempts at climbing the cliffs. Each time I got about halfway up, fell ten or twenty meters, but was almost unhurt. It couldn't be coincidence or bad luck. There was something very weird going on.
I yelled again; "HELLO!" I waited a moment. "HELP! I NEED SOME HELP HERE!" Nothing.
I felt the snake pieces I had put on the rock. They were dry and very tough. It didn't taste very good, and took a long, long time to chew. But it was food. As I finished the last of the chewy dried meat, I saw another snake grab a mouse by the rock pile. I was in a tough situation, but now I was confident I could survive awhile. Tomorrow, I'd focus on finding a way out.
