“Lost” by Madison Chapman

Submitted to Contest #40

“Nooooo… we are supposed to go this way, I have hiked this trail a time or two and I know your suggestion would get us lost” Martha, the oldest of the friend group, was quick to shut down Sierra’s idea to walk down the other path on a known hiking trail. “But you haven’t taken this trail yet so it would be fun for all of us to experience something new together” Sierra's idea resonated through all four friends trying to decide which way to go.

Though I do not think she is happy, because I think she follows me. I have seen her in so many places that could not warrant this to be a coincidence. She has been in my neighborhood, she was picking flowers that were growing through the sidewalk. I saw her at the mall, where she was ordering food.
