Hi I'm Minnie Lander and this is how my life literally started out.

    I woke up dazed in an open field and looked back and forth. I was 4 years old. Then I started to wonder around until I found a nice, cosy spot for me to rest in. It was a soft and shady spot under the tree and I fell asleep. I soon realised I was running and laughing in the open field and I was getting hungry so I went to find some food. I suddenly got scared to see how lonely this place is. I found some berries and fruits, grab them and ran out of the field as fast as I can to my new cosy tree. I lived like that for years and I was very high-sprited. In the afternoon I used to run around the field and create new games for myself. I was lonely though and every time I dream I would have some friends and kind parents in it.

One day I woke up to the sound of an explosion. The field I once played in was on fire and my tree was gone. The air was hot and I ran away as far as I could until I fell of a cliff. I gasped an closed my eyes but it seemed that I was floating. I also could breathe. But where am I?
