Drabble #19
Prompt: Lost
Because this is how I feel and I think this is totally a way this story could go and be believeable.
Somewhere along the way, they got turned around.
Maybe it was when Ulrich and Odd, without the return trips keeping things simple, confused their lies one too many times.
Maybe it was when Delmas, digging deeper into a group of students' slipping grades, noticed inconsistencies in Aelita's forged background.
Or maybe it was when Yumi accidently sent that email to the wrong person, or when Jeremy left the almost empty thumb-drive in the library.
Or maybe it was when children much too young were left to save the world all alone.
Maybe it was inevitable that they would finally lose.
