Fictional Friday Returns!
Jerry woke in a cold sweat, surprised at first by his surroundings. As he regained consciousness, his mind shifted forward in time to his current location. Over the past months, the memory of that night had haunted his dreams. Each time he woke wondering if there had been something else he could have done to save her. Each time, he wound up frustrated by the knowledge that it didn’t matter anymore. She wasn’t coming back; she was dead now and he couldn’t do anything about it.
Opening his eyes, he found some strange comfort in the fact that his fire had gone out in the night. Having something to do always seemed to help, even if it was a simple task like starting a fire. A little food in his stomach couldn’t hurt either.
As he struck his flint on the dull edge of his knife trying to light the small pile of tinder, his mind began to wander again. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He kept seeing her face, her beautiful eyes making contact with his before closing forever.
Shaking his head, he fought off the memories and struggled with shaking hands to get the tiny sparks to turn into a small flame. After working for several minutes and gradually adding more kindling, he had a large enough fire.
He set up a spit to roast the rest of the small deer he had killed a week ago. As he waited for the meat to cook, he chewed thoughtfully on the last of the dry bread he had picked up at the last town he passed.
This time however, his thoughts didn’t linger on the recent past. No. They now sought the future. He had been camping here for almost two weeks now. He no longer felt like he could just stay here mourning. He needed to do something. He wasn’t sure exactly how he would go about it, but he needed to avenge her death. It was time. As soon as he’d finished his breakfast, he would set out after the man who’d killed his Samantha.
Alright, before you start complaining about the death, let me remind you that you guys chose that the main driving force in this story should be revenge. I had to give him something to be vengeful about didn't I?
Now for the next choice. What should Jerry do after breakfast?
A.) Get food, he's out!
B.) Head in the direction he thinks this mysterious murdered went.
C.) Head to the nearest town, he can get food and try to dig up some leads on this guy.
D.) Other(Tell me what you think he should do).

B and D. Jerry has one thing on his mind right now. Revenge, to kill the one who killed his Samantha; but first he will make him suffer.
He should head out to find the man ...and the ones he loves..let him know what it feels like to lose someone he loves more then his own life.
C, Jerry doesn't know how long this journey is going to take. So he should go to the nearest town to get food and supplies. He also needs more info on the man then what direction here went.
D. I think that Jerry should head out to get food and give up on getting revenge
