That Saturday morning seemed completely ordinary.
The air was cool.
Birdsong echoed between the trees.
A light breeze moved through the branches overhead.
Nothing suggested that the peaceful routine was about to turn into an emergency.
Until Daniel noticed something near a steep ravine.
At first, he thought it was an abandoned backpack.
Then it moved.
Daniel stopped.
He looked again.
What he initially assumed was a pile of clothing or discarded equipment was actually a person.
A man was lying on the uneven ground near the edge of the ravine.
And he appeared to need help.
