Lucille dropped you off at your house.

It looks like you accidentally blurted out your address as well. She waved at you, and you thanked her. You watched as she drove away.

You looked at your house; all the lights are still on. You ran inside and saw your mom in the kitchen, wiping her hands on her beige apron.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

She looked at you with confusion in her face.

"Did you forget something?" She asked.

"What? Mom! I was lost in the forest for a day!" You said.

Your mom laughed at you and called you silly, then said, "Dinner's ready."

You took out your phone. It's working... Your phone is working with 52% battery, the same percentage as before you entered the forest.

Your heart started to beat rapidly as you checked today's date.

I wasn't gone for a day; I wasn't gone at all.
