walking. exploring. strolling happily together

suddenly, there was one unexpected obstacle leading to another

until they encountered another one as huge as a grizzly bear

thinking of saving each of themselves, they both ran in different directions because instinctively, they both knew that was what they had to do

eventually, there came the exhaustion and at that exact same time, they both decided to come to a stop

it was weird how they’re path would cross at that peculiar shop

peculiar as it was, it was the only place they both could go to at that point

it was like a club filled with familiar acquaintances yet somehow, they were strange suspicious people

no one could be trusted and they both knew it

a few moments of indulgence with the his and hellos, and she realized he had been gone for a while

worried he might have been captured by what was chasing them, she checked at the restroom where he was last seen entering

there was no sign of him, but there was no other way out except for the entrance door of where he entered

so she thought to herself “he must have left through that room”

demn! the next thing she knew, she was about to get caught

she was right! none of the people there could be trusted. she was old out

there was nothing else she could do

she had to save herself, too

running away from the club looking like a cabin, she thought to herself, “i knew he was wise. i knew he would know what to do. he has to save himself first. boy am i so lucky he is someone in my level. we understand each other even without verbally communicating”

all she could do was do her best to not get caught

exhausted and after a long while, still running.

realizing she has not got any sight of him, she thought he must have ran opposite to where she was heading

and then, in her longing to be with him, a thought suddenly came “i am glad he saved himself, but must he really have to go without me? didn’t i think he was someone who cares a lot for me? didn’t he claim to be someone who would be there for me until the every end? all the time i was escaping, all i had in mind was for him to be able to do the same–saving each other and still be together in the end. we just had to face the obstacles together and then, our paths intertwine again. then, all this will be worth it”

“but where is he? where did he go? will i see him again in the end? is he still there in that strange looking club of a cabin? god knows i only left there because i knew he had. boy, did he really leave me? he. just. left?”

so she left because he did.

all these in her head until she opened her eyes to the dreading sound of a silence that morning
