While stuck in the canyon, Aron wonders if these two girls will be the last two people he will ever meet. He has plenty of time to think about his mortality, his lack of rations and devise a few unsuccessful plans for escape. With his handheld video camera, he keeps a log, explaining the situation, his location and asking authorities to give the footage to his parents as a recorded goodbye. As his hours wear on, Aron’s mental state is just as much in jeopardy as his physical.It’s the little things that really help Aron carry on. Seeing a familiar raven fly over him every morning and feeling that fifteen minutes of beautiful sunshine is rejuvenating to his body and spirit. But most of all, it is the desire to live, be with loved ones and be part of that human connection more than he ever has before that drove him to make the painful choice for survival.
