Spectator Sport- Strayed!

 It’s not a fairy-tale, it’s true. I have been there. In a distance, I saw a shadow. The air was cold and thin. As I walked through the murky, dark, narrow road, I heard the rustlings of melancholy trees and shadows casted in a distance. I knew I wasn’t lost. Not yet. But the shadows kept whispering into my ears trying to scare me. I closed my eyes, and held my thoughts. Those thoughts always hunted me. Thoughts that I wouldn’t find my way back home and all the other bad reflections.

 I took a deep breath and decided to focus on the dark. Everything seemed black, but I was certain, I would not discover wild creatures that would strike me. I slowly pulled my phone out from the left pocket and nothing else could shock me more than seeing that there was no network. Without any doubt, my jaw fell. There was no signal!
Did my dad really have to pick this place? I told him the shore side was better. Being lost is definitely not adventurous. Atleast not in the woods.

As I continued walking, I saw a group of people in a far range. It didn’t seem very dark and dull over there. Not sure whether to ask them about the directions or not, I started to walk towards them. A girl, not less than 12 years old, ran towards me and asked me, "where are you going," slightly in a Russian accent. I was shocked she wasn't disprage like other strangers would have been. Instead, she patronized me. Cracking my voice uncomfortably, I said, "I’m looking for my way to the hotel. Do you know where it could be?" As soon as I said that, the girl smiled instantly and started to giggle. I renovated, "I'm lost," giving her a soft, indigent smile. "What’s your name?" she asked me in a soft gawky voice. I didn’t know if I was supposed to tell that to a stranger or not, but I somewhat told her. She pointed towards a walkway that lead towards the garden and told me the lobby was there. I then realized how idiotic I could be, not knowing I was actually at the backside of the hotel. I couldn’t see a single thing due to darkness. I gave a smile at myself, and gratefully said, "thank you," to her, since she extricated me. I turned around and walked back to where I came from, deciding to find my way back to the lobby from the front side of the hotel. I thought it’d be fun to purposely get lost once again.
