[ WP ] You wake up to a future in which humans are extinct , but revered as gods by the current inhabitants .

The smell was unbearable, the sound was so loud my ears were ringing. I wake up staring at the sky, it's bright, I look around me, I have a seatbelt on and my legs are buckled. My arms are free though and my neck feels stiff. I find the buckle on what I could only assume a harness of some sort. It's windy out and I can see huge piles of dirt out in the distance. 
 
 I ca n't figure out who I am or where I am. I just know I am here and awake. I look down at my legs and undo the buckles from them also. My legs feel stiff as I try to step out of whatever it is im in, but I could n't find any balance and tumble forward, catching myself just barely with my hands. 
 
 I turn my body around and stretch my legs out, trying to shake them but they only begin to shiver. It seems I have n't walked in awhile. 
 
 I put my hands in my pockets and find a pencil and a notepad, then in the other pocket a couple of coins. I use my hands and grab my legs and massaging them, I can slowly feel them coming back, pins and needles up and down from the tip of the toe to the start of my thigh. 
 
 After 5 minutes of getting the circulation back into my legs I am finally able to get standing, I look at vessel I was in and dig around, I find a flashlight and some tools. 
 
 Deciding I should see where I was, I climb out of this small hole the vessel seem to have been wedged itself in. There's trees and a large lake, i'm at the top of a dirt hill. I look up and it seems the vessel was fossilized in a boulder and a shift in the rock caused it to slip out and into this hole. I look down from the top of the dirt hill and can tell it's a far drop. 
 
 Had the vessel not stopped, I would of been killed. 
 
 I still ca n't seem remember who I am or where I am. I know i'm on earth but ca n't put down a year. 
 
 Climbing up behind the vessel I can see an easier way down, just a short drop and a grassy hill down. I scale down it and start to think of what I should do. 
 
 My stomach starts growling and my mind instinctively visions fruits, vegetables, and farm animals. I start to scavenge the nearby bushes and trees, scanning for edibles. My mind becoming almost like a catalog. Each time I find a different plant or herb, it nullifies it or assures me so I stick whatever looks right in my pocket with my notepad, pencil, and coins. 
 
 I hear footsteps in the distance and instantly duck. I cautiously wait, but the foot steps have stopped. Staring deeply into where the footsteps came from, I can see something very hairy, almost brownish hair. 
 
 It's sniffing around and turning quietly, scanning everywhere. 
 
 I ca n't make out what it is, it's looks like a gorilla, but it's taller and standing on long legs, not unlike a humans, I can see it has joints, like knees, and it's thighs are covered in fur. 
 
 Moving my head up to see it's face, it spots me, it lets out a large roar and starts heading at me full speed, branches, bushes, are being torn apart, i'm doing my best to run back up the hill, but his speed is unmatchable, I get almost up to the top to jump down back onto the vessel and he snags me by my suit just as I leap. 
 
 It pulls me infront of him and studies me, not like food, but more inquisitive. It's eyes are green, it's nose like a human, and it's lips more prominent. 
 
 Tossing me over it's shoulder he takes me back the way he came, I can see the destruction of the brush it tore through to get to me, broken branches, a few trees knocked over, this was a very strong... Whatever it was. I could n't be sure. 
 
 It carried me a good 15 minutes until we got to a cave like structure. It looked like an entrance, he sat me infront of it, it was a very dark cave, I could n't see anything in it. 
 
 It let out a roar again, but this time a more subtle one. 4 creatures not unlike it came out, all varying in color, he was a brownish tan. The other three were slightly variations of orange and yellow. I could now make out the males and females, by the obvious protruding element on 2 of them. 
 
 None of them were really scary and I realized if I was going to die, I would of already been mauled at the beginning. I stood up and looked at each one of them, starting to see how truly wonderful looking these creatures were. 
 
 I spoke, `` Hello.'' 
 
 They looked at me and just blinked. 
 
 I tried again, `` I'm harmless, so do n't kill me ok?'' 
 
 They looked at eachother and the biggest one, the one who found me, wandered into the cave and fetched something. I finally saw what it was when he laid it gently down at my feet, stepping away cautiously. It was a leg of some animal, it was thick, bloody, and looked fresh. 
 
 The creature started motioning his hands like he was eating a corn on the cob, telling me to eat it. 
 
 I shook my head and pulled out some berries I had in my pocket, the ones I collected before the creature found me. I showed them to him, then ate one. He looked interested, so I handed one to him, he took it cautiously, sniffed it, then popped it in his mouth. 
 
 He shook his head I handed him the rest and he distributed them to what I could only now assume his family. They each ate them and nodded all together, I pulled out some herbs I had also collected and handed them to him aswell. 
 
 He took it and ate it just as the berries, but this time, gagged and spit it out. it must of been bitter, he shook his head. 
 
 I looked around and spotted some dry brush, some sticks and rock, it came as instinct to make fire. I tried to motion to him `` One moment.'' But sorta just waved my hands in a weird manner. 
 
 I grabbed the dry brush and set it ontop of the rock, then spun the stick as fast as I could, the 4 creatures now sat down just as I was and watched me. 
 
 Finally, after a few minutes I was able to get the sparks going, I blew lightly and the little flame started growing, until I had a small fire. 
 
 I grabbed the leg of the animal and started cooking in the fire. The creatures were scared but fascinated by the fire and the charring of the animal leg. 
 
 After it was no longer pink, but a nice white color I pulled it out of the fire and peeled a piece off, I handed it to the bigger one, he ate it. He shook his head to his family and I peeled off more pieces for each of them. The biggest one came to me, and stood over me before taking a seat next to me. 
 
 I was scared but also comforted by him. He grabbed the piece of meat out of my hands and tore a piece off and gave it to me. Then brought it over to his family and they ate it. 
 
 They invited me into their cave, it was too dark without light. I grabbed a stick, wrapped it in moss that I found nearby and light it on fire. 
 
 We entered the cave and it was huge, we stopped at a fork in the path and started going right, we past a crack in the wall that was filling a bowl looking rock with what I could only assume freshwater. I stopped and drank feeling much stronger now that I was hydrated. We continued deeper until we hit a corridor it was very large and had grass and sticks in each corner. This must be where they live. 
 
 Illuminating each side of the corridor seeing piles of food ( meat and more meat ) 
 
 The smell was becoming unbearable, some of the meat was rotting and had maggots on it. They must not notice or care. 
 
 I notioned that I was heading out and they followed. I was n't sure what my next move should be, so I decided to build a shelter, their cave was n't going to work, for the smell and the fact I was n't brave enough to scout the cave out. 
 
 As I searched for supplies and a spot to build a small camp, they followed along. 
 
 Eventually I settled upon a clearing big enough for a canopy and make shift home. 
 
 I figured out they listened whenever I needed help. Tree down. Shrub up. Move this. All I had to do was point and make the movements and they would follow along and do it. 
 
 As night fall was coming the shelter was coming together, roof, walls, and a decent bed with tree branches and soft grass. 
 
 I tried to sleep but mostly rolled uncomfortably and batted of bugs. 
 
 It was morning when I was startled by lots of noises from every direction, through the brush I could spot more of these creatures, coming to the shelter, they walked as if one. Each one with a synchronized steps. They all stopped around me, I was surrounded by hundreds of them now. 
 
 I was n't scared though, it was contentment. They were all calm, breathing softly and waiting for something. I stepped out of the shelter and was infront of what seemed to be the leader. He was the only one who wore any clothing, he had a lions skin over his shoulders and a hat made of bones. 
 
 He kneeled infront of me.
