It was odd reconnecting with something from so long ago. The crash. The wilderness. It. Whatever people labeled it, well it came crashing back when you sat in a car with Tai and Van, following Misty close behind.

It had been years since you’ve seen any of your old soccer team members, the same ones that you were stuck with for 19 months after the crash.

Misty had called everyone up, desperately wanting to find Natalie, whom she said was with Charlotte. Apparently Charlotte currently lead what most would call a cult, somewhere along the forest side, though it was labeled as an ‘intentional community’.

This was a shocker, and something you dreaded a little. You had been Charlotte’s girlfriend in high school, and in the wilderness. You two were inseparable, a deep bond formed in the trauma. Though, after being rescued from the outdoors 19 months later, you fell out of touch.

You spent your years healing and cleaning up from the traumas of the wilderness, though, now as you drive past gates to this apparent community, you felt like your teenage self again.

You get pulled from your thoughts when Van parks the car by Misty.

“This is it guys.” Misty chirps, too happy.
