Which ways to follow HOME
I was a child, everything was blurry, nothing seemed clear nor was I ever certain of any information I possess, but I was sure of one thing that day my mother who was grabbing me tight is no longer by my side... I was short people were moving around me fast, they looked enormous, I was rushing to ask any of them for help but no one noticed me tugging their sleeves like I was invisible in a way, and then my mother's image in my head started to fade all I remembered was her scent and her dark brown eyes, I wondered around for hours till I found myself in a place that resembled the view I see from our school bus, so I followed that track into a wood, scared but filled with hope, yelling 'MOMMY' hoping she would hear my annoying screams and comes to nag me like always, but she never appeared. soon came the darkness full of emptiness and obscurity the forest started to come alive the animals started making voices the bats came at me from different places , and me the poor child kept on walking through the night through the hunger and the fear , I couldn't see where I was going but i felt like i had to move , it didn't feel right to stay still because it seemed like someone was watching and soon that someone started to feel closer every minute , and before i ever know it I felt cold breath on my right shoulder so I ran recklessly tripping and falling n struggling through the bushes , until I reached somewhere where there were no trees no voices no bushes just a flat ground and a full marvelous moon , it was just me unaware ,cold and hungry but that didn't matter at that moment because the moon had my full attention , it lit the night so beautifully so I stopped for a second to admire it and there she was , smiling from a far a lady with her pretty face , hiding in a big old black rag I couldn't see much of her face or her body , the rag had her all covered but I did see her long curly hair and her black lips , I wanted to say' help me I'm lost' but she put her finger over her mouth and said'shhhh they will follow you if they hear ' and that was when i saw her wounded hands , it looked like an X on her right palm , she started coming closer little by little her smile shined through the rag and her face started to show , she looked beautiful, she kneeled , held my hands and looked at my eyes smiling and said quietly " would you like some cookies and milk " , I felt happy to see someone back then ,I felt relieved it felt like home already , I smiled and hugged her saying " I'm scared " she then replied while patting my hair " fear not child I will protect you , I'm your family now " ...
