Around what felt like dinner, I had completely submerged myself in the woods. There was no North, South, East, or West to guide me. The world looked the same every direction I looked. I found a giant rock for me to rest on. My feet were sore from walking endless hours in Pa's boots. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt stinging in my eyes. I opened my suitcase to take a refreshing sip of our well water. It reminded me of home. I lay down on the giant rock. I used my winter coat as a blanket and tried to pretend I was under Mama's old quilt. It was no use. In my heart I may have been at home, but I was really alone, stranded in the woods. I opened my eyes to find someone's name carved into the rock I was laying on. "Samantha" it read. That's my Mama's name. Smiling, I took another rock and carved "Josie" right under it. Then I drew a heart around both of our names.
I tried again to sleep but I felt so lonely. I felt excluded. I felt lost. I felt scared. But most of all, I finally felt free.
