She stood on the crossroad looking left, right and then left again and still wasn't sure which path to choose. "weird, the last time I was here there was only one path..." she thought to herself, "where the hell did this path come from now?" she was asking herself with a big sigh, thinking that she would really need to make a decision soon, before it gets dark. "But how on earth can I make this decision now...?" looking around, the forest was thicker then she remembered whichever direction she looked, she was surrounded by trees. Then she realised, if I don't know where I'm going to it shouldn't matter which way I choose...all excited about her decision, she set off on her new adventure, anything can happen now. No clue about the path she has chosen, she started wondering what waits her on this path...what will I see? Will I meet anyone on this path? Is it hilly or flat? Will there be any resting points on the way? Will I find water to drink? Is there any wild life around? Will the birds sing for me?...
She could feel her heartbeat accelerating with the thoughts of the unknown and an unusual tingle in her legs as she climbed the first hill, wondering what the view will be like from the top. She reached the top and followed the path down the hill, around the lake and then a few more hills up and down. Busy with her thoughts, she suddenly found herself at the end of the path on the edge of the forest only to realise that she has missed it all. She had no idea what was in the forest.
Disappointed but determine not to let it happen again, she turned around, walked straight back into the forest, this time free in her mind and thoughts to accept whatever will come.

Life on the beach (Short story 3)
On every beach I can find some creatures, usually small, not so visible at first, but if I sit down on the sand, not too far from the water, I can usually spot some crabs running around and other types of sandy creatures...
Depending on the weather as well, sometimes it is just too hot to move or do anything outside the water. Watching these creatures, chasing and catching them is one of my ways to entertain myself on the beach.
Lying down quietly and listening to the sounds of the waves, the birds catching fish in the water, is one of my favourites... but if the beach is crowded, especially with loud kids and families, then there's probably just one thing left for me to do... go find a quieter beach!
