He woke up to a storm hitting his shelter so he went back to bed and slept for three days then got up and rode out because the storm had left and then kept going while stopping every once in a while to eat and feed the dogs and began telling the dogs where to go with his mind then he made a makeshift shelter and slept and had a dream, darker this time.
