Day 1

I was looking for some seals today to eat. It took a bit, but I found a few near the edge of the water. I hadn’t seen many yet this spring. I tried to sneak up on them but they saw me and flopped into the water. I decided to wait by the water. I laid down using my white fur to blend in with the snow. I decided to take a nap to conserve some energy. Eventually I woke to a seal that had popped up. I crept up on it and caught it. I bit its neck until it died. That seal was big enough to keep my stomach happy for few days.

It was starting to get colder as the sun went down. It’s normally pretty cold up hear in the north anyway. Luckily I have lots of fur and fat to keep me warm, so it didn’t make much of a difference. I headed back to my den. It’s a small dip in the ground at the bottom of a hill. It provides a bit of cover from the wind, so I don’t get too cold. I had no trouble finding it, my sense of direction is very good. I went in the hole and fell asleep on a full stomach.

 

Day 2

I woke up this morning feeling very refreshed. I had a good nights sleep. I was probably asleep for 8 hours. I couldn’t really tell what time it was because it was still somewhat dark, but the first light dawned on the horizon. When it got light I went out looking for seals again. I didn’t see many though. There were a few but they all escaped. I probably got lucky yesterday.

I kept searching for something to eat. Eventually I came across a birds nest. I decided to eat the eggs because the parents weren’t there. I kept searching for more to eat but couldn’t find anything. I wasn’t to worried though, I didn’t need to much. I decided to take a nap so I had enough energy to try to hunt some seals at night, they’re more active at night. I woke to the noise of birds squawking. It was the parents of the eggs I ate. I didn’t bother trying to catch them, I had bigger fish to eat. I wandered over to the edge of the water and looked around. I only saw one seal, but it was to far out. There weren’t any seals on the edge of the water or close enough to catch. I decided to just go back to my little hole in the ground and go to sleep feeling a little emptier then I did last night.

 

Day 4

I woke up today probably around the same time as I normally do. I had been partially covered in snow by a small storm yesterday. It was kinda comfy. The storm had lasted all day yesterday so I slept through the whole day. I got up and shook the snow of my back and looked towards the water. I didn’t see any seals but I went over anyway. I walked along the water for a bit, but there was no seal in sight. I was starting to get a worried. I wasn’t starving yet, but I haven’t seen any other animals either for a while.

After several hours of not seeing any seals I decided to give up on the seals and search for something else to eat. I thought I could try to find those birds again. Eventually I found the nest. It had been blown apart by the storm. The birds were nowhere to be found. My guess was that they fled the storm yesterday and searched for a nicer place to live. They didn’t have to worry about their eggs either, I had taken care of those. A few hours of searching later I still hadn’t found anything to eat. I was starting to get tired of all this walking and decided to head back to my den and go to sleep.

 

Day 8

I’m starting to get a little hungry. It’s been six days now since I ate the eggs and I haven’t seen anything to eat since that seal far out into the water. These days I have come up with a theory on why all the animals have gone. Looking at the case of the seals, the plants that the phytoplankton ate died because they didn’t get any nitrates or nitrites. The reason they didn’t get their nitrates and nitrites is because the bacteria in the ground that turn the nitrogen in the air into nitrates and nitrites have suddenly disappeared. I did learn a lot about this subject in polar bear high school, but not enough to know how they disappeared. Those phytoplankton then moved somewhere else taking the fish with them and then the seals that eat the fish. The same type of thing must have happened to all the other animals. I just didn’t realize it would be this bad. I decided that I need to move. Probably down south because I can’t really move north. I do hope down south the bacteria are still alive, otherwise all life may cease to exist.

 

Day 14

I’m starting to get skinnier and very hungry. Luckily I just came across a woolly mammoth that had frozen to death thousands of years ago. It’s in a big piece of ice that has half thawed. It must be thawing because of global warming. The whole area I’m walking through seems to be warmer than it used to be. However this is the first ‘food’ I’ve come across in a long time. I took a few big bites out some of the exposed meat. It tasted pretty good even though it’s cold. It didn’t have the same taste as seal but I’m not going to complain. It was good enough so I started eating again. Eventually I got full and headed on my way again.

It’s been a few hours now after I came across that mammoth and I’m starting to see some small, more resilient shrubs. This is a good sign because it means this area has the bacteria that turn nitrogen in the air into nitrates and nitrites. That also means there will be some animals for me to eat. There aren’t very many plants though, and probably not very many animals either. I think it would be best to continue south until there is a healthy amount of plants and animals. I hope there will be some seals or maybe some dear or rabbits.

 

Day 207

It’s been roughly half a year since I found that woolly mammoth. The shrubs I found then were not enough to sustain a lot of animals, so I kept going south and finally made it to a nice green area. It’s a mountainous area with a mix of fields and forests. There are a bunch of dear as well because it is far enough away from humans.

Normally I would try to hunt the deer and eat them, but I have changed. Somehow that mammoth meat I ate gave me a mammoth head, mammoth digestive system, and a few other features. That means that I don’t eat meat anymore, I eat plant, the teeth I have aren’t suited for biting and killing, instead they grind leaves and grass. My digestive system wouldn’t be able to handle it either. It has changed to suit plant material. I’m very happy actually. I’ve settled down in a really nice, lush forest. I have plenty to eat as I am not dependent on hunting anymore, and plants are plentiful. I also have a nice cave to sleep in. I don’t have to worry about getting cold either because the climate is warmer down here and my fur is so big. I made a nice bed in my cave. The bed’s made out of grass which has died and turned into hay. Speaking of beds I’m going to go to sleep now. Good night.
