Warmer this morning maybe 15+-, Sunny.

Hither and thither yesterday. Many chores to do in this place.
Just got word a few minutes ago that M's Mom is being released from hospital this am.

“Oh my God!” She cried.

She dropped to her knees and pulled some of the limbs away and saw part of Bob’s near naked body being pinned to the ground. He was shivering violently. She started to call to him then realized she had never learned his name.

“Hey, hey, you can you hear me!” She called.

There was no response other than another stentorian snore like sound.

Alicia tugged frantically at the branches, breaking away some of the smaller ones but the larger ones she couldn’t move.

She reached under the limbs thinking that maybe she could pull him out and her hand came in contact with the head of the axe.

She pulled and worked it out from under his one arm and a large branch. As soon as it was free she attacked the outer limbs and worked her way to the tree trunk then in controlled swings cut away the entrapping limbs.

As soon as he was no longer ensnared she dropped the axe and fell to her knees. She started to try and roll him over then paused and starting at his shoulders felt the length of his body. She could detect no broken bones so she moved back up to his shoulders and with only a slight effort was able to roll him over. In doing so she found the deep gash on top of his head and the bruising high on the side of his face. Bob’s mouth was open and every few seconds he emitted one of the snoring sounds. He continued to shiver violently.

Alicia jumped up and ran back around the fallen trees and back to her boat. She snatched up her rolled sleeping bag and the pup tent as well. She hurried back, laid the tent out on the ground then unrolled and opened her sleeping bag and spread it across the tent. She went to Bob’s head and squatting down she got her hands under his arm pits and slowly straightened her legs. She turned his body in a half circle and dragged him onto the sleeping bag then rolled it and the tent around him.

“Oh God he’s so cold.” She said aloud.
