A Missing Link
I woke up one morning to see a text from an old best friend. I get up and do my normal routine of working out, getting something to eat then going to work. I grab my phone after I am done working and I see the text that I got early in the morning.
When I was playing hide and seek in the dark with a girl, she was 6 and so was I. One day as I was the seeker, I couldn’t find anyone. Why couldn’t I find anyone in this small house? I walk and walk for what feels like hours. I then say that I’m done playing, but then out of nowhere there's a tall figure behind me, I look back and see long black hair covering someone or something's face, and boom! It’s actually the girl I was playing with, she was the one who found me. My heart was racing and pacing so fast that I burst with excitement to see her here, she wasn’t a monster (I thought) it was her. Then she had to leave, and I’d never seen her since.
I was walking in the woods one day, all these old trees with broken branches. I step on the leaves, some are crunchy, some are soft and some are at the same time. I walk past a tree that looks to have a face on it, so I come in a little closer, and I see the eyes glow into a gold yellowy type color. I once saw a tree on the internet with a face on it, people called it the Wise Mystical Tree. The tree then said to me, “You will encounter someone, sometime, somewhere”. He turns back into a tree and is never seen again. I then leave the woods without a word I doze off into a void of dreams.
When I was at the gym getting ready to go home, I wanted to get a book to read. I was pulling up to the local library and went on my phone. I saw the text that I left unread earlier and read it. It said “meet me at the local library at 3 pm,” It was 2:55 pm. So I went in and saw a beautiful girl that looked like the picture she sent me too. I see her hair swift into her face as she looks In between the books and sees me. I come over to her and say “hey, I think I know you,” we carefully examine each other and our thoughts just flickering like a light bulb. Both of our thoughts run in and remember all of the things we did when we were just little kids. The beginning of something else…
The mystical tree was true, I'd been reunited with my “best friend”. “She’s in town I say (in my head).” She wants to come over to her place, have a talk and then, later on, go out and do some fun things together. We were in the car after we were done having fun, “she says, ''Do you want to get some food?” I said sure where and what do you wanna eat at or place? As she says in a bold and passionate voice she says “no I only want you.
