Lately on the comments that I saw on the for so, GREATEST story ever, they said it was too long. So I decided to make a shorter version of this epic story of adventure.
I even contacted the book company, they may even publish it as a real book! :blink.gif:

100 Days to Mine
Chapter 1: An abrupt landing
For me, it was going to be an average day. I was going to go Christmas shopping for my family, last-minute, as usual. But wouldn't ya' know, it wasn't meant to be.
I suppose I should start with myself. My name's Alex, and I'm 14 years old. I'm your typical teenager, with girl problems, school, and all that other crap.
I was driving on the highway, doing 65. I knew I was speeding, but seeing as to how I was 14, that didn't seem to trouble me. I was doing at least 3 illegal things right now. I was in my mom's car, a Lexus RX330. It was old, but it wouldn't draw attention to me. I was enjoying driving, but I knew I had to be careful. I would catch Hell if I got caught.
I was moving from one lane to the other, trying to weave through traffic to get to the next offramp. But sadly, some idiot that really shouldn't have been driving decided to ram right into the side of me. I swerved out of control, and crashed into the barrier separating the two sides of the highway.
I awoke once more, still in the car, in pain, crying. Then I realized, with what little strength I had left. It was my blood. At that thought, I blacked out once more.
I awoke once more to a falling sensation. I felt wind whipping past my hair, whooshing in my ear. I slowly opened my eyes and realized with a snap that I was falling. I quickly became awake and looked around. I could see ground, closing in fast. There was a small puddle of water, and using some tricks I'd learned from watching movies that had people skydiving, I aimed to the pool. I splashed down, and for the third time, blacked out. It was beginning to get very irritating.
I awoke in this strange land, with no explanation as to how I got here, what this place was, or simply where I was. I looked at my surroundings. I could see a few trees around me, the small pond that had saved my life, a couple of rolling hills, and a cave, along with a few mountains in the distance. I walked around this place, thinking that I was alone. I found this untrue when the oinking of a pig nearly gave me a heart attack. I turned and saw it simply standing there, staring at me with a confused, blank expression. It wondered what I was, no doubt. I slowly approached it, and tried to pet it. When I found that it liked me, I gave it a hug. "I'll name you... Randy!" I said. The pig oinked with approval. Approval of what, I didn't know; I simply didn't care enough. I wandered around some more, and decided that my lack of shelter was unacceptable. I was worried, at that time, that I would get rained on, something I hated, or that I would need shelter from the Sun, but I had no idea what that shelter was actually going to protect me from.
