Abigail’s Journey
“Abigail, go get some roses from the forest!” Dad yelled.
I walked outside wearing my plaid skirt and red T-shirt. My brown ponytail shimmered in the sun. When I got to the edge of the forest, I didn’t know whether this would be a new experience or a death trap. Though I’ve never been in the forest alone, I made up my mind after two minutes: I was going in.
