The Lonely Road

 

The wet cold mud spreads across the forest. The rain gets heavier and heavier as the day goes along. The old lady slowly walks down the mud holding her light. The rain feels like it will never end.  Her coat feels like it’s getting heavier as the rain floods the forest. The old lady slowly keeps walking down to her cottage that’s at the end of the forest.  The mud gets stickers and is hard to walk in. She comes across this massive puddle that she can’t walk around. She looks down and notices that she doesn’t have the right shoes to walk in the massive puddle. She takes a step and feels the coldness through her socks. She keeps going closer but the coldness is killing her inside. She doesn’t like wet cold socks, it doesn’t feel right to her. She takes a few more steps into the freezing cold water. She tries to keep walking but the water is so cold and mud gets all through her shoes.  She finds an old stick that she can use to help her get through the mud, she finally made it through. And walks up to her old cottage.
