Funny thing happens when one sobs and screams for endless hours upon hours.....you gain perspective. You grieve for what you've lost, you forgive yourself for your sins, You toss regrets to the side, and you remember how to live, then your mind is clear enough to think about your current situation. This is exactly where Evan's mind-set was now.
Rules from their past didn't apply anymore here, yet not everyone realized that. Case in point, the short hair imp that shoved Evan to prove her point, "I don't care if we're dead, we still follow laws that regulate basic human decency. And that includes sexual harassment." She didn't know it âĻ..yet. And the guy sharpening his spear â No berries to eat, no rabbits to catch. What're you gonna do when a giant carnivorous plant eats your head off? Nothin'. He was so worried about survival, that he hadn't realize that known of them had been hungry or thirsty or even used the bathroom or at least that was the observation, Evan made. He didn't know it..... yet either. Each and every person here were still living IN their past lives, except for maybe the little blonde running aimless in the woods
Evan was pacing back and forth, while mindlessly collecting different lengths of twigs. The long held speech he had replayed over and over in his mind, started spilling out like a pot boiling over with water. "We all come from diverse backgrounds; with different life experiences, and varying education. With all those differences we do have two things in common......WE ARE DEAD and we are here together. WE may never have picked each other as friends, but now our choices are limited. I won't pretend to know what our next move should be, but I do know this...we are stronger together, than apart. Right now one of us in those woods, pointing in the direction of the woods,
one of us needs to get her." At this point, Evan held out his closed fist, with twigs peeking above in even lengths." I think we ought to draw straws or twigs in this case, Evan gives a short jovial laugh, and sees who gets her." Evan held his fist out for Kai to pick first.
