1 Going to the City

Tina ran as fast as she could making her way into the tropical forest of Ikon ,her frail skirt flew along with the wind ,she was fourteen, young and full of energy,stopping often to untie her skirt from the grip of thorny shrubs, thanks for her choice of clothes for the day, with her black attire, Mike would not see her easily. Her soles were on fire as she had no foot wear on her feet,she had taken it off earlier to enable her run faster, the thorny shrubs and sharp pebbles were doing justice to her feet determined, she surged forward. The sounds of night creeping insects along with the croaks of the frogs were all sending chill sensation along her spine causing goose bumps all over her whole body ,in spite of the perspiration that covered her body. This was due to the moon light tales told by her grandma when she was younger, that the frogs spits out with each sound of croaking made, and that if one comes in contact with the spit, one would be in the danger of suffering leprosy.
