She conjured up his image in her mind and began to shake. She wept. She left.
The weathered shack stood in the back of the clearing. She had been walking so long through the woods she could not believe her eyes. Smoke from the chimney made her heart sing! She had been lost for so long that this sign of life almost made her weep
She was overcome with fatigue as she reached the bottom of the hill and she sunk into the grass at the bottom of the hill, never having thought she would make it.
She willed the large boulder to move off of him, to no avail. Franticly she looked around for a branch and quickly located one, running to get it. He was unconscious and she worked quickly, using the branch as a lever. The boulder didn't want to budge, but with superhuman strength in a burst of energy, it finally began it's slow roll off of her brother and made its way faster and faster down the hill to crash at the bottom. She checked him out, reaching for her canteen to dampen her shirt and wash his face lovingly. Finally, coming to her senses, she reached for her cell phone and dialed 911.
