Jornada Del Muerto: Prisoner Days - Plot & Excerpts
For the last six months, we’ve been working to get ready for our journey. Today, we went bow hunting for elk. I shot an elk not far from here. Of course, the smell of blood can bring the wasps from a hundred miles away. We were careful to hang the elk before returning to the Pen for the vehicle. We heard, but did not see, the wasps moving in our direction. Thank the creator because I’d hate to start the count to 500 days over again. Together, George and I skinned and butchered the animal. While George attended the fires, I cut the flesh into strips and lined our drying racks. This enormous creature will be the third elk we’ve dried for our journey. George and I had elk steak tonight with the last of the Worchester sauce. Funny the things you become accustomed to. We found a stash of this precious flavoring in the chef’s private reserve. That brings to mind an interesting thing. I would have thought there would be an abundance of supplies left hanging around for the last human beings.
