The Girl with the Silver Bag

I thought carefully about what to put in my bag for my journey ahead, finally deciding on two walkie-talkies, snacks, duct tape, a climbing rope, a compass, my ipad, notebook paper, and three bottles of water (you never know when you might be in a dire situation). I sneaked out of the house while my parents were sleeping, and ran as fast as I could through the passageway to the forest. In the middle of the road, I stopped and looked around. I always forgot where north was. I took out my compass, and stared at it for a minute and remembered, the clubhouse was west! After turning around, I ran straight into a tree.

Darkness awaited from the unwelcoming door. It's just like from the beginning, starting from the darkness. Then, in a millisecond, the universe grabbed us both into their darkest black hole. “ALARA!” I cried, floating around in darkness. I’m probably in a dream, I thought, pinching and rubbing my eyes. Her voice called out towards me. I swam among the stars, looking for a kind of wall separating us. I carefully touched each star, feeling its heat and warmth.
