I don't have long to live. Honestly, I'm pretty surprised that I've lasted this long, especially on my own.

But it doesn't matter. In a few weeks, maybe even in a few days, I'll be dead.

Nopony survives long in the Badlands.

This is well written, and the narrator's snarky attitude leaves a nice taste in my mouth.

Keep doing what you're doing. Except for the one or two typos, don't do that.

6247526 Will do! :twilightblush:

Also, do you mind pointing out those typos you mentioned? I'd like to fix that up.

Gladly!

guess is that, because i was unconscious, my body was relaxed and

Capitalize that I.

So, I'm kinda stuck with a double standard here. Fire doesn't go out, I die. Fire doesn't go out, I die

One of those should be does.

I'll give it a thumbs up for the idea, but how fast (or slow) is this fire? Why not make it so he has to use his water to put out the fire? That could've been the double standard: "If I put out the fire, I've got three days to find some water. If I don't, I could lose shelter and other things."

But that's just me. Plus I always thought the Badlands were a cool setting to do a story in. I'm writing a survival story that takes place in the badlands right now actually. :twilightsheepish:

6248817 Thanks for the thumbs up!

I understand your concern about the speed of the fire. Honestly as I was writing it, I felt it seemed a bit unrealistic that fire would move at a speed of a few meters a day. And I do really like the water idea. Kinda wish I had thought of that earlier :derpytongue2:

However, I stand by my current double standard of 'fire goes out, I die' and 'fire doesn't go out, I die' simply because I plan to include some of the Badlands wildlife in later chapters, and I feel that the best way to introduce that is with the whole fire thing. But still, thanks for the input, I appreciate suggestions! :twilightblush:

Also, good luck with your survival story! Can't wait to read it :pinkiehappy:

6248256 Fixed! Thanks a ton!! :twilightsheepish:

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on this story. When is the next chapter coming out?

6248848 I've started it, so pretty soon. I'd say in the next week or so

Still lovin' it...
