Millions of Footprints
I was walking in the woods when suddenly I saw something strange on the path ahead. There were millions of tiny footprints coming out of the bushes, crossing the path, and disappearing into the bushes on the other side. I had some free thime so I decided to follow the footprints. I started following them. After every fifteen steps the woods were getting thicker and thicker. I started having second thoughts, though I didnt turm back. After one hour I had reached a house. It was more like a hut. I think there was only one room inside. Outside it was painted white with the roof painte brown. I was very tired and decided to go inside looking for the owner. I went inside. It was somewhat like what I had thought, though I realized it had been abandoned long ago. I toght I'll sleep ther that night. I started making my bed when I heared drunk voices outside.I didnt want to be mistaken by a thief so I went out. There was a group of men outside, all dressed in ragged clothes. I felt scared. I started regretting that I didnt follow my instincs. They started closing upon me. Just then a guy, about my age, came to my rescue. He took me and started flying. I never knew human biengs coukd fly! I said "How are you flying? Some machine or something?" He replied "Shut up and come before those people know where we are going. You are losing speed." "Wait a minute, I'm not flying. You are. And where are we going?" He just rolled his eyes and kept quiet. After some tome, he looked at me. I ralized this was my friend, Gyan. I trusted him and he took me to the city. And I asked him," How could you fly and who were those people?" He told me that he came following me into the woods and these people had found him. And the flying part, he told me, I just thought we were flying. Infact we were running. That time I realized how tired I was and that I had failed to unravel the mystery. Though, I didnt tell Gyan about it. We went to a reataurant and ate food there. I felt such relief creep into me. We went back home. (We were room mates!)
