The Goodbye I Needed
When I tried to send the last message with my phone before it died, hoping to tell them where I was and leave my final words, I saw the messages my parents had sent instead.
[The Moon Goddess kept us safe, all three of us are fine.]
[We're so thankful to the Moon Goddess. Even the pet puppy is okay.]
They were at home, getting cozy by the fire. They were all smiles, with Summer holding the little stray puppy she found.
Meanwhile, I was in the snow, my hands numb as I dug through the ice. I kept going, driven by the need to survive, and I finally made it out.
However, to Dad, my return was just a way for me to 'rebel' and 'start drama'.
