"GAME OVER!" She said as thousand droplets poured from the sky.

In middle of night in the sidewalk as she said those words. Her vision darkened and was left unconscious. And spent her whole night lying in there.

She opened her eyes and realized that she was in a room. It was only just a dream, she thought. But the thing is, she was sleeping in a room that was unfamiliar for her.

Realizing it was not her room, her eyes roam to see if there was a person with her. She scanned the surroundings. She guessed that she was in a type of house which looked like a cabin. It was made from huge logs. Sort of like a camp would look like. It was plain. In the corner of the room, there was a man sleeping in the right corner in his couch. His hair was messy and covered by a cap, just what a sleeping person would look like.

Lyric slowly got up from the bed and creep towards the door. She tiptoed, careful not to wake the unknown stranger. She wondered why she woke up in here, but today is not the right time to question. The first thing that is in her mind is to escape.

When she got in to the door, she slowly turned the door knob and went outside.

Her first reaction was,

Where the hell am I

She was in the middle of a forest. Sure, it was beautiful and all. She could see the lush green leaves hanging on the tall tree trunks. She could hear the stream rushing just a few walks away. The birds passing by, humming a melodic sound. It was the perfect weather and a majestic place. But that was not on Lyrics mind, she was in the middle of nowhere.

There are countless freaky stories about a person being murdered in a forest. She wipe that away from her thoughts, it was not the time to freak out.

Lost with a sleeping stranger back there. She couldn't escape where more dangerous things were waiting for her outside in the forest. Today was still not a great day for her.

"You're awake", The guy mumbled as he slowly stretched his arms.

Lyric snapped her head towards the guy, "Who are you?".

"You don't remember me? I'm your uncle John. Just kidding. I'm just a stranger who took pity on you, sleeping in the dirty sidewalk", He said.

"Why did you take me in the middle of nowhere!?"

"Um...excuse me? Middle of nowhere? This is paradise!", He said and with his mischievous smile, he walked to the kitchen, grabbing a pitcher filled with water and poured it to his glass.

"Water?", He asked.

"Why did you take me in here?," She gritted her teeth.

"Listen, instead being angry and all that, why can't you be grateful that I, a generous person helped you from strangers that could possibly rape you", He shrugged and took a huge gulp of water down his throat.

"Oh Mr. smartypants ,what do you expect? You're also a stranger!"

"If you cannot trust me, then the door is open for you to leave", He said and pointed at the door.

She took a deep breath, "Fine! I'm really going to leave!".

"Good luck with that", She heard the stranger say.

She made loud stomps as she went outside. She was unsure how to get back to the city but the stranger boils her nerves too much.

"The door is open for you to leave", She mimicked.

She walked only for 3 minutes which seems short but she was already lost.

"Dammit, I should have done the Hansel and Gretel style", she mumbled as she continues to walk in an unknown path.
