Mount Rainier

Intro Mr Ballen Story - You are camping near Mount Rainier in Washington State. Your job is so hectic that in the rare times you got a chance to, you would disappear into the wilderness for a few days to clear your head. Despite living in one of the biggest cities in the world, you are actually a very competent outdoorsman, and so for this trip, you decided you would stay way off any trail deep in the back country in random locations. On the first night, you found a nice clearing in the trees, and so you set up your campsite there. You ate some food over your fire, you pitched your tent, climbed inside, and within a few minutes you were fast asleep. Several hours later, You woke up to some strange sounds coming from outside of your tent. It sounded like a couple of animals or maybe one animal moving around right outside. And so after a while of just hearing this constant sound, you rolled over and you barely unzipped your tent flap just to look out and see if you could see whatever animal it was. And what you saw shocked you. There was a man sitting in front of your fire pit.
