I closed my eyes, trying hard to recall my dreams. Usually, this scenario always appeared in my dreams, but now I couldn't remember any details.
Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Take your time, don't rush. Your mom will help us."
I took a deep breath, clearing all the distractions from my mind. I seemed to see my mom holding my hand, eagerly walking into the woods, looking around and at the treetops. As we ventured deeper into the woods, I asked, "Where are you taking me, Mom? The woods are so dark. I'm scared! Don't go in, Mom. There might be wild animals!"
"Don't be afraid. I'm here with you. We need to find the tallest tree."
"Why do we need to find the tallest tree?"
"So you can remember!"
"But I can't walk anymore. I'm scared!"
"Go sit on that rock for a while. I'll come to you."
"A rock," I murmured as I suddenly opened my eyes.
I quickly stood up, searching for a place with rocks.
"Search where there are rocks," Atlas instructed the others.
Everyone dispersed quickly, searching separately.
"It's a pile of rocks. It's a large pile, and they're all black rocks," I added.
In my mind, I shouted, 'Help me, Mom. I need to find it!'
We were running out of time. It was less than 48 hours until January 5th. I had to save Yare and help Ross.
Every minute I fought for meant extra safety for Yare at this critical moment.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
