Day 13:

I found a cave today, or maybe it was an old mine?  Either way, there was a lake at the bottom, so I now have a good source of water.  That is, of course, assuming that there isn't anything in it.  I swear I heard scratching, but I couldn't find anything, despite watching it for an hour.  Maybe a lizard or some rats got down here and were trying to escape?

Either way, I think the stress and the lack of someone to talk to is starting to effect me.  I thought I saw a dog on the surface, but when I reached where I saw it it wasn't there, nor were its tracks.  I must have scared it away.  It hasn't seen a human before, and didn't know that I just wanted to try and train it.

Whatever.  This looks like a good place to start my village, anyway.  Maybe gather some supplies from that old town over there?  I guess I should head there tomorrow.
