She left her house to go on a walk
She laced her shoes,
She grabbed her keys,
And she left.

She started to walk calmly
Each step padding softly on the smooth cement
Left
Right
Left
Right
Leaving the neighborhoods of comfort,
Until she no longer knows where she is.

Then fear sets in.
The fear of the unknown.
The fear of being lost.
The fear of being forgotten.

She begins to run.
Her converse pound on the sidewalk.
Left-right-left-right
She doesn’t know which way is home
But she can’t stop running
Until

She trips.
She is no longer walking or running
She is falling
Not bothering to catch herself,
Her head slams into the street
And her blood starts to pool
Onto broken concrete.
