After reading this I thought I'd start my own challenge. I followed all the rules except I started right away instead of before the guardian died. To get around this I built a nice little box for the guardian to die in therefore she had no real contact with outside world and could not interact with Gina.
It started off well. Small 10x10 area surrounded by trees with only a park bench to sleep on. Poor Gina Askew had run away from home and was determined to make it on her own. She would fish the local pond and grab the local flowers/fruits as they grew. It was exhausting work and within a day she had managed to save up to buy herself a bed after getting lucky with some fish.
Just as the bed was delivered she decided she couldn't go that far and passed out on the sidewalk.
Now that she had a decent bed to sleep in she felt she could take on the world. People were kind enough to leave plates of food lying around for her to eat and only had to take minimal trips to the park to meet new teens. Everytime an adult came near to talk she would run away to another spot just incase they decided to rat her out to the authorities.
After a couple days though people stopped making food and she started to have to eat the local produce that she'd picked up. It was getting harder to talk to people. Between the running around and not having a shower in her cove it was getting to the point where she could no longer stand her own smell let alone getting close to others who would then complain about her smell.
Gina wanted a break and to talk to people again so she ran off to the local Gym and borrowed one of their showers. She was really scared someone would catch her because it was filled with adults but she cleaned up nice and ran back home. It took another two days but she was finally able to save up enough money to buy a semi comfortable tub so she could keep clean. Ah taking a bubble bath was so great. Being clean was awesome and allowed her to talk to others.
During the next day or so Gina would spend time fishing to save up enough money to buy a garden. She really wanted a large one so she could have multiple plans growing. She knew she was close to being able to survive on her own without having to leave the lot and fished and fished. She was so close she didn't want to leave the lot and determined it was easier to soil herself and wash up than it was to go to another lot and use a toilet. This was working really well for her until that jogger decided to run by her sanctuary. She was so mortified that someone caught her having a bath after soiling herself that she died on the spot.
Poor Gina, died before she could even find love and had just planted a batch of strawberries.
The really sad part, she died before the guardian did. Somehow during one of her trips to the park the guardian on the lot managed to get food (or at least her hunger bar had filled). Considering she was in a locked room with no door I'm not sure and I was really careful to not bring her on any of my trips.
I did take a couple pictures that I will edit into this post probably later this weekend. Apparently my firewall at work doesn't like photobucket.
