Creative Writing: Back To The Trail

“Let’s go for a jog!” I said in excitement.

“Don’t fall behind because I had gym today, so my feet are screaming to run again,” Alex jokes.

“Then let’s go to the trail before it gets dark,” said Lilly.

“On your marks, get set, GO!” Alex screamed before they even got to the trail.

“Funny,” I said, “but now the animals are running as fast as race cars.”

“Oh well,” Alex chuckled.

“Do you want to start here?” I said more than asked.

“Sure,” replied Alex.

“Maybe we can see the animals that didn’t run,” I said hopefully, “like that squir-”

“Lilly, where did you go this time?” Alex asked in confusion, “Oh no…” Before we go on, I guess I should explain a little about Alex and myself before we get back to the story, right? So, I am Lilly Row

You can’t walk on that foot yet! Are you ok?” Alex implied as he rushed over.

“I guess you did, and your sarcasm is a gazel gracefully passing by.” I giggled with amusement, “Wait, how long was I out?”

“You have been out for about a day.” Alex said with concern in his playful eyes.

“What?! Why did you stay here all that time? You must be as tired as someone who just ran five miles!” I exclaimed while I turned to face Alex.

“It was worth it as soon as you woke up. I am just happy that you are ok and safe. That is all that matters, and besides that, I had tv and I took a few naps on the couch.” Alex almost said with laughter.
