Getting Lost

 Nov 23, 2022

    This was a brutal day for me. I woke up as usual. Yoga pranced over to me. She told me she had to leave. She said that Pablo had already left. I asked her what about me? She shook her head and said ‘no’. I realized that I was on my own once again. 

    I wanted to go to a cafe. I wanted somewhere with wi-fi, because there wasn’t any at the house. Yoga let me use her data before she left. I connected to her hotspot with my phone. I took screenshots of the route I needed to walk. Then she left me. 

    So I started my journey. The sun was beating down on me. I’d never felt such heat. I walked and walked. I came to a highway. I looked at my screenshots. I didn’t understand what I was looking at. I had to guess which direction to walk. I decided to flip a coin. Heads would be straight and tails would be left. It landed on tails. 

    I walked for a while. I didn’t know where I was. I knew that I needed to walk towards the ocean. I looked around but I couldn’t see the coast line. I just kept walking and walking. 
After about an hour and a half I noticed a familiar intersection approaching. It looked like a highway. My heart sank. I realized it was the same highway where I’d flipped a coin. I’d somehow walked in a giant circle. I started screaming in anger. 

    So I just started walking down a random road. I had no hope left. Eventually I remembered that I had a compass on my phone. I started using that, since I knew the ocean had to be east. 

    I eventually came to a beautiful cemetery. I sat there for a while and rested. All the spirits were very friendly. I connected with them for a little while and then kept going. 

    After about 7 hours of wandering I finally found the beach. I sat against a wall and fell asleep for a little while. Then I suddenly woke up when I remembered that I had to get to work. I stood up and started walking to Holy Taco.
