CCC#52:Straying From the Path (flash fiction)

 

 

Straying From the Path

 

Cindy didn’t want to admit it, but she was lost. She had followed the path as Babradon had suggested, but then she had seen some beautiful flowers and left the path to have a closer look at them. When she went back, the pathway seemed to have disappeared. She walked for ages, but there was no sign of it.

“You’re lost!” said a voice. Cindy beheld a small figure sitting on a branch.

“I am.” She admitted. “I’ve lost the pathway.”

“Well you’re going the wrong way! For a small fee, I’ll take you back to it.” they volunteered.

“I’m not sure I have anything.” Cindy said searching her pockets. All she had was a letter from Melissa, and a quarter. She handed the coin to the figure.

“Ooh I’ve never seen one of these before! Okay follow me!” the figure sped off in a completely different direction. Cindy followed.
