it was a Monday morning. Er— Monday afternoon. School had just ended— it had been another great day, as always— and you were walking back to your house. The fastest path was through the woods, as the streets always had lots of traffic. So, you just took the shortcut through the forest path most days of the week.

you knew the path so well, you could easily stare at your phone as you walked, as you simultaneously thought about what you’d do when you got back to your house.

suddenly, you are yanked away from the path, right as a large, thick tree branch fell onto the ground, where you would have been if someone did not pull you away.

“Careful! That would’ve been a painful way to die! And if you die, then the whole dimension might die too!” the person who pulled you out of the way exclaimed. Her light brown hair fell to her shoulders, and she was dressed in a brown plaid dress with a white shirt beneath it, along with white tights and black sneakers. A dark green cardigan, which was clearly oversized, was over top of her outfit, and the sleeves extended far beyond her fingertips.
