Abby flinched when James threw something to the ground and stomped off into the forest. She quickly trailed after him. The area wasn't safe for someone not paying attention to his surroundings.

James stopped after a short distance and turned to glare at her. “Leave me alone unless you can get me home.” With that, he walked back to their camp and ignored her.

Abby sighed as she noticed the notched wood James had discarded so violently earlier. She didn't need to count to know there were 56 marks, one for each day they had been stuck in the past.

Poor James. It's got to be tough though so staying positive all the time couldn't be easy. Hopefully he's not stomped off into harms way.

I don't blame Lester for feeling racked off! I like Abby making sure he's safe.

Oh, poor kids. :(

Loved the emotion of this!

Tsk, tsk, Lester. Taking your anger out on Abby won't help the situation. It's not her fault you are stranded.

Really like this. Anyone would be affected like this by the situation they're stuck in - even James!

56 days. It must be nerve wracking not knowing if and when rescue will come.
