Otzi the Ice man

          I was hiking up the mountain ready to meet the “people.” As a well-known hunter in my village, I, Otzi, have a reputation to keep up. I am famous and rich with food and that is why I got into this much trouble. I was clad with deerskin garments and a grass cape. I cursorily check my inventory, which included an axe for some firewood,  some equipment to build bows, some arrows when I finished my bow, a flint scraper for fire and a small knife to cut up meat and also for self- defense. I was prepared for anything. I sensed something would not go very well in my confrontation with the “people”. 

          
          It was a long and hard journey to find the “people” who are actually the Wizard Gorg and his men. They gave me the power to hunt and be the wealthy, a well-provided for person I am today. Thanks to wizard Gorg and his men, they gave me a drink that would make me strong. Apparently, I have to reward them with meat when I became successful. However, I didn’t fulfill the promise, so now they said that I have to meet them. I surmise that they’ll take away my power. Wish the meeting go smoothly.

         
           Everything happened like a blur. I didn’t know Gorg have hired men with weapons with him. I was agast when he broke our agreement. He clearly said no weapons! He is such a loser. It happens as I gingerly walk toward Gorg and his group and they said they have to take away my power. I said no and ran away. But then in my direction behind the boulder came men with bows and arrows. I still got my strength, so I ran like crazy. But apparently someone hit my shoulder with an arrow. The pain caused me to fall over the mountainside. After a few minutes, I could tell they were gone, but the arrow was still in my shoulder. I couldn’t bear the pain, and I lost so much blood during my escape that I felt weak and dizzy. The sight of blood all over the place was gruesome. I am dehydrated and tired but I must return to my village. Perhaps I would just sleep to regain my strength. At least I escaped from Gorg and would now be a normal man….
