Three other days passed. The house had no more food supplies left and I sat by the river wondering what I could do.
Do I leave? But where do I go?
I kicked my feet in the water. It feels weird now that she's not here either. I felt better than this when she was here. What is this strange feeling? I rubbed my chest. It's like I'm missing something.
I felt like my brain was shutting off my feelings. Like there were more things I had felt before but now I couldn't.
I tilted my head
What was happening?
I've never left this place. I looked back at the cottage, then looked at the sky, where a family of crows flew by, I watched them fly above me and then disappear when they flew above the forest in the distance. Then I looked back at my feet.
What do I do? I have no idea what to do…. If I don't leave, soon I'll start getting hungry.
