when i was a child we went hiking sometimes
with my parents and my siblings
one time we went to this cave
i think i liked it
i had this sense of wonder as a child, i still have sometimes
my parents thought they knew a hiking trail back to the car
but our map was old, like pre war old
and we got lost
we walked for hours, trying to find the fastest way down
we drank the last bottle of water
my siblings and i got scared and our parents tried not to show it
we saw abandoned houses and bones of some animal
it started getting dark
my parents spotted an old, abandoned shack
there were wild animals and we had no flashlights
so we depended on the sun
in that moment i was scared
that primeval fear
everyone else was, too, i think
a rush of adrenaline
and my parents thought about sleeping in that shack
but we didn't
we ran
ran downhill towards where we thought a town would be
i remembered that story recently
and i remember how scared i was
it was an intense feeling
overwhelming
i think i grew on that day
i've been scared a lot, recently
it's a slow fear, numbing
a fear of failure and a fear of dying
back then, my parents knew what we had to do
so we ran and we reached a town as the sun set
now i'm fading from fear
and i'm lost
