Yesterday's Adventure

Yesterday I decided I needed to enjoy the sunshine and get outside. I read a book I checked out from the library under a big shady tree.

I read until I was no longer aware that I was reading.

I loved being outside and feeling the breeze. I loved the sound the trees made in the wind. The trees were talking and calling me into the forest.

I ignored them at first, thinking it probably wasn't wise to listen to trees.

But soon their calls became too loud to ignore and I followed their voices into the forest.

I found a path and decided, "this must lead to my destination." But the path didn't seam as if it ended anywhere. I walked for hours, getting further away from home with every step.

I walked and walked until I couldn't walk anymore. The trees were no longer calling my name and their branches were blocking out the sun. I was lost and alone.

I was mad at myself for being so stupid. I sat down on a nearby rock to ponder what I should do.
I read my book again, hoping to find some answers.

Daylight was fading and the forest seemed to be laughing at me now. I knew there were monsters lurking around corners and hiding behind bushes. They waited for darkness to fall before they made their move.

I needed to escape. I began to run, looking around my shoulder occasionally to make sure I wasn't being followed.

Then I tripped.....

...and woke up under a shaddy tree.

Thank goodness it was all a dream.
