Barrel of Monkeys
After her shelter was built, and her clothes were dried out, Scarlett stood and redressed and went to search for food.
The forest was just as dark as it looked from the outside, and the canopies above were heavy with foliage.
She moved carefully through the brush and took a deep breath of air.
The air was fresh smelling, but had an odd metalic odor to it that she couldn't quite place.
Soon she came upon some berries and checked to see if they tasted sweet. They were, so she loaded up her hat with them.
A sound coming from the bushes nearby spooked her, and she drew her sword on instinct, only to laugh as a rabbit poked its head through the leaves of the bush.
" Looks like I found lunch" she mused before striking the creature with her blade.
A short while later she was roasting the rabbit over the fire and munching on some sweet red berries.
She'd have to figure out how to boil some water for drinking later.
