Escape - The Red Forest

It had taken him five years, three months, and four days, but he finally found what he was looking for in an old shack in the Clearwater County of Idaho . The trail led from a lumber town along a washboard road and into the forests. It was still afternoon when he started back to his car. He noticed that something seemed different. The trail had disappeared. Then, he sees it, a coiled rattlesnake. Fortunately, it did not strike. It seemed to be more afraid of something else. He remembered throwing a cigarette away about 3 or 4 hours ago, and that is when the fire started. He started to run. It was almost dark when he finally found the road, about half a mile down from where he parked his car. Half an hour later, outside a small town, he picked up a girl hitchhiking her way to Missoula. She soon grew sleepy and started to take a nap in the car, when he saw lights flashing. There was a police officer was standing in the road waving his arms.
