Backcountry Odyssey

By Scott S. Mastran

A few hours ago Elian Sterling was exploring the countryside of Southern Ohio. After one misstep he finds himself lost, injured, and alone. The world he thought he knew now feels foreign. Overconfident and headstrong he pushes himself deeper into a pit he cannot hope to crawl out of. Grappling with ruminations of self-doubt he prepares himself for the end. Without the courage to continue through, Elian struggles to press onward toward home.

Why did they abandon him? How will he survive?

Unsure of what to do, or where to go, he takes the advice of a mysterious wayward traveler in a last-ditch effort to reunite with his family. Finally coming to terms with his own weaknesses Elian resists the temptation to give up.
