Anyone that has ever lost their smartphone knows that it is like walking through Antarctica with no clothes; the amount of chills you get are almost unbearable. You start frantically looking everywhere for it, fearing the worst. Your heart pounds with panic as you race up and down your house. Or in my case, racing through the Serbian woods.
It was a peaceful day in Serbia, my home country. I now live in the U.S but my grandparents still live in Serbia. My brother and I, who was 10, had come from the United States on a two week trip. “Are we going up the mountain to pick berries today?” I asked my grandfather.

After stuffing my face full of chicken and feeling as if I were going to burst, I went into the living room to watch TV. After a while that got boring and I went to get my phone from my backpack to entertain myself. I then found it was gone. Chills ran down my back. I immediately threw my shoes on and sprinted out into the woods. Retracing my steps proved to be a lost cause, but I still did it until sundown. At that point I was really panicking. I feared going back it the house and not having contact with my mom, who was staying in a nearby hotel. When I got into the house I walked into the living room and slumped onto the couch. I noticed my little brother on a chair close to me acting mysterious. I went up to him and there it was, my phone in his hands. Holding back my frustration and anger, I stole it back from him. All of that stress was suddenly lifted off my shoulders. I would have to get back at him, but I felt a million times better and made sure something like this would never happen
