I had grown tired of sledding down the same mounds, and longed to visit the much larger hill that lay deeper in the forest. My parents kept a watchful eye on me, preventing me from going despite my protest, but my cousins had come up with a plan. On the fourth day a snowstorm hit Westford. My parents tried to convince me to stay in, but I “promised” them that I would remain near the house when I left. As soon as my cousins and I left the door, we headed straight into the heart of the woods. My cousins wove through the trees, while I stumbled through the dead branches trying to keep up. They called for me to catch-up, but they soon disappeared from my sight. There voices were quickly replaced by the howling of the wind. I continued in the direction I last saw them for a few minutes before I was hit with the realization that I had no idea where I was. Blinded by the snow, I could barely see the outlines of the trees in front of me. How was I supposed to find my way
