At the lake
It was early Saturday morning during the summer, and snuck out to go swimming. There was a tree limb hanging over the water everyone liked jumping off. I had been having fun jumping into the lake from the limb Untill my last dive.
Climbing out to the highest end of the limb were the water was deepest, I dove in.
Coming up, I realized I didn't have my cut offs anymore. Afraid people coming up the path would see me, I ran into the woods.
Running nude through the woods, I was soon lost. Walking what felt like hours, my feet were hurting and I was scratched up from the vines and braches.
Worried Id never see my mom again, I sat down to cry.
I heard someone say, what's with all the noise. Looking up, I seen Mr Jones. He was one of my junior high teachers. He asked, what are you doing out here, and where are your clothes. I told him I was swimming and they fell off and sank. Come with me he said. Walking with him we headed out of the woods and entered a clearing. At the edge was a house. He said, come inside and we'll see what we can do.
Going in he told me the first thing you need to do is get in the bath.
