Chapter 29

~ July 31st - 5:30 PM ~
Zoe groaned as she got up from the ground, picking up the camera and satchel that had been flung off her body. She moved her legs forward and looked up to see she was running out of daylight. “Shit!” Zoe hissed as she stumbled forward. After putting her satchel on her shoulder and the camera strap over her head, Zoe took a step forward, swaying as she fought to regain her balance.
Stumbling, Zoe landed on her hands and knees, breathing rapidly as she tried to shake off the dizziness. She placed her hands on her head and counted from one to ten and back again. Opening her eyes, Zoe looked at her hands and exclaimed, "Shit!" as Zoe slowly raised her fingers to her head. Holding her breath, she waited for the pain as she tapped the area where she had hit when she tumbled down the slope.
