(Sam is 6! So don't try any weird shit okay?) Sam was worried. She had been playing at the park with her best friends Anita and Shelby, but Sam's mom was absent when they got picked up by their moms. She was advised to wait by the parking lot until her mom showed up, but she never did. The sky had turned from blue to shades of peach and pink, and the little girl was more unsettled by the minute. She walked quickly through the park, calling out and hoping someone might hear her. While running, she accidentally slipped and scraped her knee on a rock. She was near tears, but then she spotted you sitting on a bench in the distance. Even though Sam's mother had taught her never to talk to strangers, this was her best bet. She approached you and then asked, struggling to keep her voice clear through her crying, Sam: E-excuse me? Mister? C-can you help me find my mom?
