Mountain Diary
Day One:
This is my first entry for my diary. I?m planning on documenting most of our journey in this so I can sell it later for big bucks when we become famous! My name is Dola and my silent and brooding companion is Sentille. We are currently staying in a tent, in-between all the trees on this mountain. The day went pretty well with good weather. So good in fact that the helicopter was able to watch us hike up most of this mountain before it started getting dark.
We just started hiking this mountainous region. A place of true beauty, a place where few travel, and the ones that have seem to suffer from insanity during the great storms that take place here. A truly beautiful yet hazardous place. Cannibalism, murder, starvation, disappearances this region has seen it all. After all helicopters and small planes can only make it through here during the summer if it?s a good day.
Me and my friend are trying to make a world record by getting from point A.(a small town on the bottom left side of the mountains) to point B.(a even smaller town on the top left side of the mountains) in less than two weeks. Of course there are big cities on each side of the mountains that are virtually cut of from each other by the mountain range. If it isn?t for the increase in technology, they would have no idea that each other existed.
Well this is it for today. Write to you tomorrow. Bye-bye! Hehe I?m saying bye to myself.
Day Two:
The Day went well. With all this sun shine Sentille has been complaining about the possibilities of avalanches, but I think it?s better to have the sun and the possibility of avalanches instead of having to go through a blizzard.
I?ve done plenty of research on this region and with all the weird things that happen to this place. I am surprised all the conspiracy maniacs don?t go bonkers about this area. Ancient writings say this was the place of monsters and would banish people to this area instead of killing them. In which it also writes that the banished would beg for death instead of being sent to the area. Weird, ain?t it? Personally I would rather go through this paradise than die in the smelly village. I asked Sentille about what she would rather and she looked at me like I?m an idiot and didn?t even give me an answer! I swear if I do go insane it?s because this dairy is the most I have to talk to!
Well Sentille is turning off the light, write to ya tomorrow.
Day Three:
I hate it when Sentille is right! Today there was an avalanche luckily that it wasn?t on top of us. But unfortunately it did block our path! So we spent the whole day climbing around the dang thing! Why Sentille wouldn?t just go over it, I have no idea! After all it wasn?t moving when we got to it. But man that was a really creepy sound it made when it went, almost like it was warning us to turn back. He he now I?m starting to sound like Sentille. Oh well personally if the avalanche was trying to warn us it shouldn?t have scared the crap out of me! Jeeze, I thought my heart was going to stop when I heard that noise! And just for those who have a sick mind, no I didn?t soil myself it was a wording.
Oh ya the weather was fine today again all sun. But with how close that avalanche was I am starting to agree with Sentille on we need a couple of clouds up there to keep the snow from melting too much. And I?m starting to see how people can get lost up here. Since the mountains kill off any cell phones and G.P.S. systems, all you have to go by is how well your sense of direction is. Very much more of this plain whitey whiteness and I might start to wish I brought crayons to color with.
Day Four:
Well that?s the last time I hope for clouds. It rained all today leaving us in a tent that thankfully was on sturdy ground. So I got to spend the day with nothing but Sentille who threatened to hurt me if I started writing before she fell asleep. She said I mumble while I write and that it was annoying! .....Ok maybe I do talk while I write but I talk no matter what I do! I hate the silence up here, there aren?t even birds in this area to chirp.
Sentille nicely complained about how the terrain is going to be even worse thanks to the rain. I?m almost tempted to find a marker and make marks all over her face. At least then she might have an expression. I?m starting to wonder if she is even human. She hardly ever talks and when she does its always about the environment or the worst of the problems in today?s world. And then she won?t even try to keep the conversation going. If I hadn?t known her for three years, I would worry about this one.
Day Five:
Today sucked. The rain stopped last night but the snow has turned to mush. And I am currently covered in slushy slushiness. And to add insult to injury Sentille didn?t trip once! Plus she now treats me even more like a child! Ok maybe some of it is my fault on the child part but as soon as we got the tent set up she started ordering me around about changing clothes and drinking hot water. And has been using the fact that I might get sick as an excuse.
We are making kinda good time on the way to point b. Well at least I hope so being on our fifth day. Now that I think of it, it?s kinda funny. We are going from small town, to even smaller town. Whoohoo! Fun, joy all that stuff. I pointed this out to Sentille who once again looked at me like I?m stupid. She has no humor! Its not fair! But I think she almost cracked a smile when I fell head first into the grey slush when I first got out of the tent this morning....
Day Six:
The day was once again sunny.
Sentille has been acting weird all today I think she is getting paranoid....well more than she already is. She keeps staring up at the cliffs but whenever I ask her what she is looking at she just grunts and keeps walking. What are we cavemen?! But when we were setting up the tent I heard her mumble something about other hikers. I won?t ask her about it just yet. I?ll wait till she is in a better mood for that.
Well this is all I?m going to write for now. Wtyl. Hehe instead of ttyl which stands for Talk to you later its wtyl for Write to you later.
Day Seven:
Well so much for being ahead of time. We were forced to go into this weird cave thanks to the blizzard. Its creeping me out because we found dry blood toward the back of the cave. Sentille just shrugged it off and mumbled something about it?s to old to worry about. But its creeping me out! We have a fire going for the time being but I don?t think its going to be going out any time soon because I can?t sleep and I refuse to be left in the dark with Sentille and old dry blood. I?m pondering which ones worse. Lets see we have paranoid Sentille on one hand and old dry blood from possibly a murder, suicide, or one of the many people that disappeared and were never found in this region on the other hand. Hmmmm. Tough decision. Well concluding that I?m currently with both it doesn?t really matter does it.
Being left to my own mind for the night I remember one of the many stories about people lost in this area. One that particularly sticks out is the one about the mail carriers that were out here for a lot more than two weeks and eventually went insane and one killed the other. Well at least that?s what the people that found the body said. Only one was found, I hate to think of what might have happened to the other.
On that notion I wonder how sane Sentille currently is... She isn?t the type that will go insane and kill me is she?! No I?m just jumping ahead of myself the blizzard will go down by morning and we will continue on our way.
Day Eight:
I hate it when I?m wrong. The blizzard is still going and Sentille keeps asking me if I hear something, to which I have been answering, ?Besides the constant roar of the blizzard??. It?s really weird I think we are switching personalities. Maybe we are starting to go insane. Well at least I?m still sane since they say that you don?t know that you are going insane so if you think you are you?re obviously not.
But it?s really weird, I?ve been trying my best not to look at the what was once the entrance of the cave, that now looks like a wall of white. Since they say that can help with you going insane. But one time I was looking at it and I could swear I saw a figure out there. Oh well it?s probably just like watching the dots on a TV screen. If you stare at it long enough, you start to see objects depending on what your mind starts to think of. Which now that I think of it is really fun.
Day Nine:
That witch left me! I woke up this morning and not only was the fire almost out but Sentille was gone! How could she leave me?! Is she insane its still a blizzard out there?! I tried yelling into the back of the cave incase she went back there but I never got an answer. Of course she wasn?t in the best of mental capacity when she left but still.
I?m starting to miss her. Now I?m just with the smelly cave and dried blood. I hate being alone. I?ve resorted to humming because the small amount of wind that comes in here is starting to make weird noises. And now that I look at all the stuff my mind has been starting to wander. Sentille wasn?t in the best of mental health but I?m sure she wasn?t stupid enough to run off leaving even her sleeping bag and food here. Was she?
Day Ten:
The blizzard still going. I?m starting to see why the people would beg to be killed instead of being sent out here. It?s maddening I?m even starting to lose my idea of this being a wonderful area. If it wasn?t for my diary, I would swear I?ve been in here for months not days. And what?s worse is that I?m hearing noises just like Sentille did. Maybe what they say about not knowing you?re going insane is wrong. Or maybe I?m just special after all that?s what people said to me millions of times during my life.....Great now I?ve gotten to talking about myself in past tense.
I hope this blizzard lets up soon, the noises have now turned into voices and it?s getting way too creepy for my tastes. Maybe I would do better in this situation if I could stand watching horror movies. Dang it Sentille why did you leave me?! Hey that?s something that could help me keep my mind off of the voices playing the blame game, that?s always fun now let?s see I will start with my parents. That?s it! I?m going to go check out what?s back there! Be right back okay. Then we can continue the blame game.
