Chapter 1

So early on a Wednesday morning she lies at the shore of a lake on her stomach unconscious as her part of her legs was in the water, her hair was a total mess and her lips was slightly open as an insect finds it way freely in and out, the wind seemed to be a little friendly as it moves slowly across her skin and underneath her dress revealing more than should be seen.

It was a nice morning as all the birds seem to go in one direction, except that one of them poop at the wrong time, the poop headed straight to the back of her neck, she felt it and jerked raising her face from the warm sand with a puzzled look she touched the back of her neck took part of feces in her hand the sight was disgusting she drops it on the sand moves over to the water kneels down, bent over and started washing it out as she got her hair wet in the process, with that done she stood up as she looked around the place it was so unfamiliar as she tried to remember how she got here but her memory seemed empty all of a sudden.

“Hello” she screams looking around at the same time with a look of both hope and fear

“Hello, Anyone here” she becomes more scared as she yells more louder

“Help me...” at this time she realizes that she’s alone as fear gripped her, she hugged herself looking around while tears clouded her eyes.

After standing for about what seems like hours she made her first step as a tear drops on her crossed arm, she wish, she really wish it’s all a dream and she could just jump out of it. She moves on leaving footprint on the now slightly hot sand as the sun couldn’t hold any more patience, there is more tear drops on her chest and arm which are still crossed.

“Heyyy” someone screams she look over her shoulder to see young man standing on what appears to be a bridge not too far from the lake, he wave at her with his left hand, she stares mouth agape not sure what to do or say;

“If you can hear me I want you to stand just where you are I’ll come to you” after waiting for a response, but didn’t get any “Okay just stand right there I’ll be down before you know it” she stares on as he made his way out of the bridge, she takes the tip of her dress raise it to her face as she cleans the tears flowing on her cheeks then she runs her fingers through hair and dusting sand out of it at the same time to at least look half presentable before he get to where she’s standing, having done that she stands patiently waiting.

“Nice lake! don’t you think? “ he said almost immediately he approached her

“First I want to thank you for coming ... for saving me” she said ignoring the question he asked

“Saving you? “ he asked with a questioning look on his face, “were you in any trouble or harm”

“No, but I was alone here I thought I wouldn’t find anyone here, and then you came, Thank you so much” now with a smile on her oval face exposing her really nice set of teeth

“No no no it’s not really what you think, you see my Grandma lives in a cabin not too far from here so I came to spend some time with her here but then this morning her dog ran out I had to come look for him; when I heard screams I thought it was the dog attacking someone and I followed the noise here” as he stretched his neck looking around the area and then back at her, she’s now starring at him as tears flows freely from her eyes as she keeps looking at him hoping that it’s all a joke.

clearing his throat “So ... have you seen him? ... I mean have you seen any dog at all around?” he said ignoring the look on her face, getting no response from the lady who now looks emotionlessly at him

“OK I guess that’s a no then, I’ll be on my way I really have to find that dog my lunch depends on it” he said turning back to the direction he came from.

After moving a few steps he heard a voice behind him “wait, please wait” he stopped still backing her, she walks up to him standing before him as she stares directly into his eyeballs like she was searching for something she couldn’t find “please you have to help me, I’ll die if you leave me here please” she said amidst tears reaching for his jacket but he moved a step back “I know I look dirty and fifty whichever way you choose to put it, but believe me when I tell you I also do not know how I ended up in this mess; I woke up right there” pointing to the shore which was now a stone throw from where they were both standing as he kept his eye fixed on her with a slight look of disgust “ even right now I still haven’t figured how i ended up here, so please I really need your help, don’t leave me here I’ll end up dead if you do please I beg you” she said looking at him hoping she was able to convince him
