Getting a text message

I was on the bus when I got a text message. It was from a very familiar phone number, the phone
number which I've perfectly memorized by every single digit since I was a little kid and suddenly a
feeling of deep dejection has engulfed my whole body and mind. As I opened the notification my legs
started trembling and tears shed down my cheeks as I felt my heart shatter into tiny fragments.

The text was from my mum, and it remarked that she was back and that she wanted to meet me in the
forest. "It can't be her, she disappeared for months and was declared dead." was the phrase which kept
echoing in a loop through my foggy brain.

Suddenly I rapidly got up from the comfortable bus seat and got off the crowded bus as I ran as fast as I
could on the absurdly secluded road to the forest. I kept running as I felt my eyes bloodshot from all the
tears of sorrow and agony. I just wanted to find out the actual truth.
