Introduction

• Getting lost isn’t a nice feeling as it destabilizes you.
• It can cause you to lash out angrily and ruin the whole day.

When did it happen?

I’ll like to talk about an event that occurred two years ago.

Which I never forgot.

We were travelling to the wedding of my family friend

The journey to the wedding destination was far because my dad moved away to another state.

So my dad refuse to travel by plane

He decided a road trip was to show us the place he stayed at at one point in his life.

Who was with you?

My daddy, my younger brother and I were all in the car going to this wedding

It was an important occasion because of the friendship between my dad and his friend.

What did you do?

We started the journey just fine until I noticed that he had made the fourth right turn meaning a circle.

When I complained he said he’s trying to remember the right road to where we were going.

The worst thing, there was no cell reception

We had to trek some distance before we could see anyone direct us in the right direction.

How you felt about it?

I was so terrified because everywhere was so quiet

No one was around to talk to.

And there was a forest nearby which worsened my fears

My brother was crying that he wants to go back home

Conclusion:

We got to our destination at the end and enjoyed ourselves but the getting lost process scared both my brother and me.
