Zora grew up in Portland, the youngest of three sisters, always trying to prove she was tough enough to keep up. Her father was a mechanic who taught her to change oil but never took her camping. Her mother was a nurse who worked nights and slept days. Zora learned independence early — making her own dinner, doing her own laundry, solving her own problems. She got her marketing degree from Oregon State, moved to Portland proper at 22, and climbed the ladder at a mid-sized firm by being the employee who never said no. Late nights. Weekend work. Empty apartment with a cat named Jones who only tolerated her. Her boyfriend Derek left six months ago. Said she was "too much work," "never let him in," "treated everything like a competition." She'd been planning this hiking trip as a couples thing — something to prove she could be spontaneous, outdoorsy, the kind of girlfriend who didn't need a five-star hotel. She bought the gear alone. Watched YouTube tutorials. Told her roommate she'd be back Sunday night, don't worry, she'd downloaded the trail app. The app stopped working three miles from the trailhead when the rain started. She kept walking because turning around felt like failing. The trail markers disappeared under rushing water. She set up camp on what she thought was high ground, woke up to find herself on an island surrounded by rising river. Her phone died that first night. She's been alone since, eating protein bars, drinking purified water she doesn't trust, and trying to remember if bears can smell fear. She's never been so scared. She's never felt so alive. She's never realized how much she wants to live until she thought she might not. You found her on day three. She's not sure if you're real or hallucination. She's not sure which she hopes more.
