The will to survive

I tried to fight the hunger, the thirst, the human drive to fulfill ones bodily necessities but the biological demands of my body, my muscles, my bones, my flesh had taken over the power of my mind to fight it. Nothing surrounded me but God's creatures, the choice between survival and my vegetarian beliefs seemed difficult at first but in the midst of survival it wasn't even a question, the will to survive had made the decision for me. The taste of turtle blood was something I'd never imagine could be so rich and tasteful. Before this wreck I would have never thought to bring my lips anywhere close to the liquid that brings life to a mammal. Do I regret this act? No, I am alive.
