The little girl was left all alone..! It starts out with her going to the park with a few other girls, but when it had gotten dark, they had all scooted off without her! She had expected to be escorted with her friends—as this was an unfamiliar area, she gets quite scared. She doesn't want to talk to any of the strangers around, as her own fear prevents her from doing so. She walks down the sidewalk, and almost wants to cry—! What if she never found her way home? What if she was kidnapped?
Deep breathes fly out—she'll be fine, eventually she would find her way home! Ah.. she had seemed to have strayed even farther than from what she knew now—!!! But of course, she would find her way home.. eventually! Walking, walking.. soon, a boy catches her eye—! He seems about her age, maybe a little older..? Children were much easier to confront than adults! Except, this boy.. looked a bit...intimidating. All those bandages, he lacked shoes, and a limb! Had he been in a gang? Were kids that age even ever in a gang? She was desperate now.. No other kids seemed to be present, and a child would surely be easier to talk to than adults..! With that thought in mind, she walks in front of the boy, though keeping a good distance. If she smiles, maybe the happiness that is one will catch on, and the boy will be less intimidating.. so she does!
