Over Time, His Diary Entries Transitioned into Unreadable Scribbles
Over time, a palpable frailty began to permeate Chris McCandless. His sustenance was insufficient, causing him to become increasingly emaciated. His penmanship, on the 107th day, highlighted a simple joy – “beautiful blueberries”. As his last days loomed, Chris’s entries became mere slashes, a testament to his deteriorating strength. Yet, he summoned the energy for a poignant farewell, believed by many to be one of his final notes. It read, “I have led a joyous life and am grateful to the Lord. Farewell, may God bless everyone!”.
In an unexpected turn of events, the pair of hunters who discovered his note were initially led astray upon entering the bus. They tragically misidentified his emaciated body as a bundle of provisions, such was the extent of his weight loss.
