Elizabeth was fighting uncertainty about the arrival of civilization. Though she knew if she wouldn't of have made it this far if she didn't believe she was ready. Her only fear was of herself. The first night would be the most difficult. These feeling aren't by choice. Her gift had seemed to bring out another side of Elizabeth. The high sun felt amazing and was well needed Elizabeth thought to herself.
Always tempted to choose the easy way out Elizabeth knew if she wanted to get to the city it could take her a matter of minutes. Believing that it was time to begin a new chapter in life the long way was the only option. Within that very thought there was a visible building in the distance. A smile soon crept over her face.
Hope is near!
Elizabeth began to run towards the building. Every step brought with it new details of the strange environment. There, the tree line stopped. Inches away from the road she stood still like a scared deer. The road was empty, she could see the building close by. The building was tall and intimidating. She shuffled backwards a few steps, her footprints in front of her in the dirt. She sat once more on the ground and wiped a single tear from her eye. Then a chuckle escaped from her lips. She now lay flat on the ground staring at the sky with a humble breeze blowing her loose strands of hair. The sun had once again kissed her cheeks. A fire deep inside Elizabeth had been lit many years ago. Now this fire can help bring her out of the darkness.
A face had appeared over her head as she continues to lay on the ground.
"Are you ok?" A man with a gray beard asked with concern.
"Oh! Heghuhhmmm. Hello." Elizabeth answered unable to determine which tone to choose to talk another person.
"Yes, hello. Does that mean you're ok?" The man said with a Santa like charm. He offered Elizabeth a hand to help her off the ground. Elizabeth more than willingly took his hand. Overwhelmed with joy of interaction she sprang up to her feet.
"Yes! Thank you. I'm lost." She smiled though not wanting to continue to contaminate the man's breathing area with her various smells. She stood back from the older gentleman and began to look him over. "Why are you out here? Are you alone? Are you from that city over there?" Knowing she had asked too many questions she just stood still and smiled at the man.
