The Challenge
I wake up lying on the forest floor, it is super hot, and I think I am naked. I am trying to remember how I got here and why I am naked.
"Georgia! GEORGIA!", I hear a deep husky voice call my name. The voice sounds super familiar and I can't quite figure out why. Then I remember, I have a backpack filled with little supplies and a map. I flutter my eyes open to see a naked man looking over me. He is covered in dirt, and completely naked. His chiseled jaw is defined by his stuble. He reaches out a hand to help me sit up. I grab his hand and remember where I am.
"Georgia are you okay?" he asks, "We lost a bit of time, we need to get going", he says pointing to the mountain in the nearby distance. The camera crew has arrived to film little bits of our survival before heading off to film the next team. The white van pulls up near us. The large brown words, "Naked & Afraid" are starting to peel off from the van. The camera crew starts piling out of the van to start filming.
"Georgia, we need to start making camp closer to the mountain", the naked man says. I remember his name, Tyler.
"What happened?", I ask in a shy voice, completely oblivious to the fact that the camera crew is filming two naked people trying to survive off of the wilderness in the middle of Africa.
Tyler groans and throws his head back, "We haven't found water in like, 5 days. You passed out remember?" he says completely aggravated.
"Oh," I say. I start walking in front of him to gather sticks and leaves and anything else to that we might need to set up our little "camp" that will be at the edge of the mountain. I find some sticks, ignoring the words that are spoken to me.
"Why did I even want to do this stupid challenge anyway?" I think to myself. As I walk over to join Tyler, I help him start making our shelter at the edge of the mountain. The same mountain we have to climb in the next 30 days before this "challenge" is over.
