It made no sense, none at all. It didn’t matter which direction he headed in, he kept coming back to the clearing. His confusion was leading into anger that was palpable.

And now that blonde girl he recognized from school was talking to him. She was attractive in that ‘I-spend-too-much-time-on-my-looks’ kinda way, so why the hell was she talking to him? He thought to tell her off but as he opened his mouth something more true came out.

“I just want to get home. My little sister’s sick in bed, I have to find out if she’s okay.”
