The morning

One day I woke up in my room and something felt off. I got out of bed, opened my bedroom door and I looked at what appeared to be a beach. I kind of freaked out because I was at home when I went to bed. I got dressed and went outside. I seen something in the distance on the sand. I went over to take a look and there was a big box. I opened the box and found a knife, a rifle with shells, and a flint. After I took all that out I looked into the box and there was a piece of paper. I picked up the paper and all it said on it was good luck. I started to look around. I was yelling to see if anybody could hear me. I yelled for what seemed like an hour with still no reply. I thought to myself what should be the first thing I do. I knew that I needed to find some water. I went into the woods and searched for a while. I heard running water so I decided to check it out. There in front of me was a stream. I was thirsty so I tried a little drink to see if it was salty. I was relieved that it was not. The stream was not that far away so it would be easy to go there every day. I was feeling worried because I was getting hungry. I knew that I did not see anything searching for water. I went back to the beach to get the rifle and shells. I loaded the rifle and hoped for the best. I searched for a while with no luck. I also thought that I would need fire so I started picking up all the dead wood I could find. I built a big pile of wood for the first nights fire. I piled small dead leaves first, then small wood, then bigger pieces. I used the knife and flint to create a spark that fell on the dead leaves. The fire started fairly quickly and I thought to my self that was very lucky. I was now very hungry but I was getting tired from what I have been going through. I decide to get some sleep and wake up as soon as possible to try and hunt something down for food. It was hard to go to sleep because all that was going through my mind. It seemed like an eternity before I was able to finally fall asleep. Before I got to sleep, the only thing that I could think about is why I was here. I woke up the next morning and there was a big bright light in my face. I thought what the hell was this. The light move out of the way any there was a person. He introduced himself as Dr. Cooper. He said that I was part of an experiment on dreams. He said they are trying to find out a person would react in the situation that they put a person into. He said that the experiment has been going on for some time and they only keep a person for one night. I told him that I do not remember signing on for any of this. He showed me the paperwork with my signature on it. He said that it was common for a person to lose some short term memory for a little while but that it would come back. He thanked me and had his associate help me to the door. There was a cab waiting for me to take me home. I got home and my wife said how was the experiment. I said it was the weirdest thing that I have ever been a part of. I started to explain everything to her.
