Alone
Alone, he stepped into a new world. With nothing but silence surrounding him. He looks around, waiting for an answer, some clue to where he is. He can’t tell if he was actually in a new place- or if he was dreaming. As scary as it was being there he hoped he wasn’t dreaming. He didn’t want to go back . He was scared for what were to happen if he went back. He was sure he would get caught being out at this time of night, and the punishment for that- it just made him shiver at the thought. One kid in his home had snuck out before after that, we all learned never to disobey again. He shook the thoughts from his head as he continued to walk down the dark path. There was a slight rattle that caused him to jump back. He looked around, but still found nothing in the darkness. He continues walking for what seems like days, but is only a few hours. As he is about to give up he reaches a turn, the first one so far. As he turns the corner he felt something slam into him. He jumps back, startled. The thing he ran into turns out to be a human, a girl, judging by the squeal. “Who are you,” she demands “Who-are-you!” He walks back a few steps, preparing to run. When he realizes she is the first sight of life he had seen through this treacherous journey. So he very calmly walk s forward. “ I am Eli.” She smiles “hello Eli, I’m Kenna.” He smiles and shakes her extended hand. While they were on good terms He decides to ask her about her journey so far. So she quickly fills her in and he does the same. It sounded like there journeys have pretty much been the same. As he thought about it she says” how come we came from opposite sides and happened to come to the only turn at the exact same time?” Eli stares at her, his mind filling with doubt of ever getting out of here. He hadn’t even thought about that. If they had started each at opposing ends and had walked to a middle point that means there is no end, no opening, no way to get out. He shakes his head and bows his head. “What are we going to do?” She looks at him and shakes her head, having no idea either. They sat there in silence neither one bothering to interrupt the others thought process. It was at least a hour before Kenna stood up and grinned “ I have an idea.” Eli states at her in shock. To happy to speak but not trying to get his hopes up in case her idea won’t work. So instead he looks up and says” Tell me.” She walks over still smiling having complete faith in her idea. As she sits Eli is preparing himself for what is to come next.
