The lost, abandoned, girl…

Lethargic, exhausted, hungry – will she ever return

back to her ‘parents?’ It had been 3 months since her fight with her dad and her mum. Her parents abandoned her by saying, “We will get you a present honey, we will be right back!” They had sadly not returned. It had been 3 months since she hadn’t seen ‘life’. She tried to forget all the negative thoughts in her mind and now thought to be ravenous. To obtain her food, she had to ascend up a tree and grab a bunch of creatures: Spiders, Butterflies and Ants. After her catch, the girl ate the critters; the bugs were eaten by the girl.

Day by day, boredom became worse and worse. Today was a normal day for the girl; she continued her normal schedule. CRACK! Quickly, she stood tall, turned around and could smell burning. She knew at that point, life was never going to be the same again…
