A Child Alone

I saw frog jump in water then got scared with sun in eye wet face hurts and I running to my steps mom not home so stare at muddy toes then running around to slippery mud by back door and sky is orange and door can't get in pulling pulling pulling and locked don't know where daddy is for super strong A monster yelled out from the woods not real but scary and fun like today all day no one home all day and hungry like sick baby bear but feeling grass crunch against mud and tickles What if I get lost? Some houses smell like food and see food smoking over fence Gonna go meet monster anyway Maybe hurts like me
