Palvo walked heavily, his shoulders hanged down and his expression was short of dismal. He looked dirty, he had been running and the sweat on his brown was a dead give away. This was his fourth day in the Zone, and from the way the young man looked he was sure not enjoying it a whole lot, you could say he had the look of someone who reeeaaalllyyyy did not want to be in the Zone anymore. Palvo did not only look tired, he looked battered as he had just wrestled a bear and lost. Yesterday Palvo and his only friend Skender or who used to be his only friend had gone out on their first forage of in the Zone. They made good time during the morning and got deep in the wilderness, Skender had overheard that an artifact could be found in the area and as energetic as Skender was he dragged Palvo with him. By the afternoon they reached the supposed area that held the artifact.
All they found was a pack of Blind Dogs, a pack of very hungry Blind Dogs. First they shot at the beasts, it warded them off for a while but they kept coming back and back. Palvo and Skender in the end had to run, but they were stupid enough to do that, as like wolfs the Dogs had already surrounded the duo and they caught Skender by surprised. Palvo could only see in terror as his friend was shrewed to pieces and eaten by the rabid mutants. In the end Palvo only managed to save a broken mangled piece of Skender which he buried with what little of Skender's personals remained intact, keeping his friend pistol and two clips of ammo. The young poacher then spend the rest of the day tracking down and hunting down the Blind Dogs with righteous fury. In the end the hunt ate away most of Palvo's day and he in turn was forced to spend the most miserable night of his life, there was little sleep as Palvo was expecting another of those blasted dogs to jump out at him out of nowhere, it was cold and he didn't managed to put up a fire on account of his emotional stress.
In the end Palvo made the hike back to the Rookie Village with a heavy heart, carrying a sad expression. He moved through the only street reaching the middle of the street, he was almost dragging the butt of his hunting shotgun by then. He slowly leaned against a wooden fence, removed his pack and dropped it next to where he sat with a heavy thud. He took a deep breath, feeling safe for the first time since he came to the Zone.
"What tha hell am I supposed to do now" He said, out loud looking at the sky. He sure did not have the energy to crawl his way out of the Zone, there was no way his family was going to welcome him back now that he had stolen his dad's gun and had gotten his friend killed. He also didn't the relish the thought of being shot at by the army a second time and THIS time for trying to get out instead of trying to enter the Zone. Lazily Palvo rummaged inside his pack and retrieved a bottle of Vodka, he took a deep breath and had a long drink.
