You’ve done this many times before. Wake up, eat, go to work, eat, leave work, eat, and go to sleep and then wake up again. It was a boring, useless cycle (except for money). Nature wasn’t an option because you were practically forced to stay inside except when it comes to work, so, while lying in bed, you thought maybe you should get off your device anyway during your free time and go outside and explore nature even if you can’t really.. not need to just lay in bed and scroll of Tik Tok 24/7, doomscrolling and all of that. You wanted to become healthier, stronger! Just like your friends. And you were gonna go out tomorrow! Yep, you were. Totally.

| The next day. . . |

You didn’t go and just scrolled on the internet all day long since it was Saturday, where you get a day off. But the next day you did since it was Sunday! You checked the weather and it was pretty warm out, around 75° degrees, so you didn’t take your coat or ushanka hat. You went outside and the fresh air was.. genuinely nice. Well, the mask was a little annoying and it hurt your ears, but you could deal with it for now. You took in the peace of nature, and you began to walk to your local forest, trying to get more of nature and absorb it

You arrived and there were tall trees, short, long grass, short grass, violets, daisy’s, everything was natur-ious here, and it gave you a sense of nostalgia.. before you heard someone calling out once you were maybe an hour into exploring the forest where the trail ended, but was still pretty visible. They were yelling on the top of their lungs as they eventually just turned their head around a little bit as if to look for someone… and then they saw you. They ran over to you as they looked panicked, but surprised to see someone like they’ve been here for days, though their clothes looked fine

“Huff, Huff.. thank gosh. Do you know the way back, f-Huff friend..?”

He was panting as he was out of breath, his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath
