As leader of our group we decided to stay in this cave
we found until helped arrived,but unfortunately as then
we sat around a campfire people were sick,not because
of what happened that was natural,they were sick beca-
use of food,it was three days since the plane crashed as
we sat without talking we looked at one another.but I can
see they were looking at me more,all of them .
Food is what we need we ate most of the fruit in the trees
but that wasn't enough we needed substance or meat too
keep our bones strong our muscles stronger,still what in
fact were we to do? I saw a woman biting her nails then in
fact it dawned on me,not a pleasent thought I had,not in the
least,but it will happen if we want to survive.
And I stood facing the fourteen others that had survived with
me, suddenly we turn ,one of us were sick,it was one of the
children, a baby boy was dying that was why he'd was on my
plane he was being taking to a hospital nearby .
But now I looked at them,then I took a deep breath and I then
remembered that years before I read about another plane to
that had gone down,and the only way they survived by eating
flesh off of other people ,and they survived as well .
' Cannibilism,' I told them .They all turned .The baby that night
had died,no one was able to help, the mother grieved but she
knew that they had tuo survive,in agreement we ate the baby
even the other children ate flesh, the bones we buried in the
back of the cave,fourteen of us now survived but that was in
fact better then one or better then zero .
' At least we survived .' I kept reminding myself .But days had
passed and yet we waited for help. I thought of how we would
survive now,if we had to keep eating flesh could a person too
become use to flesh,once you start eating could you stop ? I
didn't know but I rather get rescue soon then eat more flesh .
Now we sat and I suggested we say a prayer and we did,as I
noticed as we sanq there was a person I didn't pay attention
to at first,but who suddenly it seemed to had drawn her atte-
ntion to where the baby remains were at,she was one of the
only remaining Flight Attendant that had survived . And now
she seemed drawn to where it was I did not say nothing just
then, I would wait until we were alone,but I knew how she in
fact felt, they all probably did,but we had to survive and then
when we got back I to knew there would be blame there was
always blame when something like this happened .
