Lost
by Tessa Dean February 2021
Nora and her young son, Nicholas, were running through the wilderness. The greenery was lush, and it had rained recently, adding a shine to the leaves they had to brush aside in their dash across the trail on the other side of the tracks that ended so abruptly. Nora had no idea what had caused the desolation and the tracks to end like that. It must have been quite a while ago as the greenery had grown up through the rails.
The dogs were barking behind them, urging them on. They had to hurry. The danger was way too close.

The beginning of a mystery, there is nothing worse to being chased when you are lost.

Looks like they’re about to be caught in a “hard” place. I foresee a brutal ending to this tale. Great writing.

Thank you. Yes they are definitely caught between a rock and a hard place. Not sure if there is a way out of it or not.

Thanks Keith! Not sure if I will take it further or not. I am currently working on a very long piece for pensitivity101 and not sure I want to start another one right now. Plus I have no thoughts even relating to it right now.

Terrifying to be tracked like that. My mind went to runaway slaves, many of whom had this kind of experience in their bid for freedom.

I had no particular thought in mind except escape. People have so many reasons to need to escape someone, even those who have sworn to love them. That can be the worst of all.
