## Background

“Let’s set up camp for the night. We still got some time before we lose daylight, but I like how open this area is. If there are any walkers or unfriendlies, it'll be easier to spot them.”
Sophia got out of the vehicle after Dale’s little speech to the group. She wanted to be alone after feeling suffocated between others in a small, cramped space. She noticed Glenn and Maggie making a bonfire near the RV while Dale sat on top of the RV, away from Sophia. She snuck away toward a nearby forest, thinking that this might be her only chance to get some alone time.
She arrived in the solitary forest. Exploring, Sophia seemed oblivious to how dangerous the forest could be. Sitting on a flat rock, she shifted her backpack in front of her to grab the book that her mother adored, but it was already unzipped. Her bag had opened, and her belongings had spilled out, leaving a trail back to the edge of the rock, where the book was on the verge of falling off. She lost her balance and slipped off the rock as she reached for her prized book. Sophia fell down the tenfoot cliff but landed in a safety net of twisting branches. Her tiny body suffered from the fall, and she ended up losing consciousness.
“Sophia! The mountain from the book is close by! Do you wanna go check it out?”
Carol waited for her daughter’s response with a big grin on her face. As an avid reader, Carol immersed herself in stories by rereading any books she adored. Sophia sighed and nodded as she looked at her overly ecstatic mother. Despite wanting to stay in and having little to no knowledge about the book, the sweet girl didn't want to deny her mother's request.
“All right, then! Let’s head out. I’ll pack for us.”
Carol hummed to herself as she packed some clothes for Sophia to wear if it got cold in the mountains, as well as some water, prepackaged food, and snacks. Carol called out to Sophia from the front door, spinning her car key on her finger. They arrived at the mountain after a couple of hours of driving. Carol began to walk up the mountain, holding Sophia’s hand and explaining the story she had read. The story was about a woman who had a difficult life in the city. She had finally found peace in the woods and realized what the forest genuinely meant to her. Even though Sophia was too young to fully understand it all, looking at her mother's sparkling eyes as she introduced the story was something she'd never forget. On the other hand, Sophia started to get bored of the hike as her mother’s lengthy recollection of the incredible story got tedious.
“This mountain is just as beautiful as it was described in the book. I have to hand it to the author. He did a great job of capturing the details. What do you think, Sophia?”
Carol took a breather while sitting on a rock and handed Sophia a water bottle. Sophia shook her head.
“Man, you kids sure got some stamina. I’m already out of breath.”
Sophia turned away from Carol, who was drinking water, and looked around, kicking some stones on the ground. A chipmunk walked by at that precise moment. It was her first time seeing a wild chipmunk outside of books and photos. Sophia was captivated by the small creature that was holding a tiny mushroom and inspecting its surroundings. Her attention was now drawn to the adorable chipmunk. However, as more people went up the mountain, the little critter fled into the bushes. Sophia pursued it without a second thought.Her mother yelled at her from behind.
“Sophia! What are you thinking! That way’s dangerous!”
After following the chipmunk into a bush that turned toward the edge of a cliff, Sophia fell off. Fortunately, she landed in a small stream. Aside from a few minor scratches from the branches, she wasn't hurt. Even though her mother’s cries for her echoed in the air, Sophia couldn't respond to them right away. The dense woods that blocked her view of the sky, as well as the cawing of nearby crows, filled Sophia with dread. She closed her eyes and covered her ears as she suddenly remembered some scary animals that lived in the mountains and ate people, such as bears and wolves. Crouching, Sophia called out to her mother in a tiny, trembling voice. That’s when she heard a splash in the stream that she had just come from. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother drenched in water. Carol had jumped off the cliff without hesitation to save her daughter. Sophia ran up to her, wailing like a baby, and hugged her. Carol gently stroked her daughter’s hair and assured her that everything was fine.
With this memory and an aching head, Sophia opened her eyes and regained consciousness. Although she was fortunate once again, she had landed on a surface that was harder than water. She had to lie down and stare at the sky until her dizziness went away.She heard a faint moaning sound when she finally stood up.It was from a walker. She needed to run, but she continued to kneel, eyes closed. She firmly believed that her mother would come to her rescue—the loving and caring version of her mother from before the outbreak.
“Mom!”
She screamed. The walker began to crawl toward her from the sound she made. It was slow because its bottom half was missing, but if she didn’t move, she’d be caught in a minute. With her last bit of energy, she cried out once more to her mother. She slowly stood up, her gaze fixed on the approaching walker. “She’s gone.” Deep down, she knew her mother was no longer with her. She was simply in denial.
Sophia turned to face the cliff that she fell from. She began crawling up the path. The more she strained her arms to pull herself up, the worse the pain got. Even so, she knew that giving up meant that she'd die here. She realized she’d never done anything this difficult before. She clenched her teeth and climbed up to the rock, pain and all. She was overcome with a sense of relief and triumph. When she looked over the edge of the cliff, she noticed the walker reaching its hand into the air to catch her. She took the book from the edge of the rock and placed it back in her backpack, making sure to close it properly this time. She promised herself that she would never let this book out of her sight. She’d understand it one day, and then she’d be able to imagine how her mother felt while reading it.
Everyone rushed to Sophia when she returned to the RV.
“Sophia! What happened to you?”
Maggie was worried about her condition.Sophia responded with a smile,
“I was playing when I fell. I’m fine. I even climbed up a cliff on my own."
Glenn and Maggie couldn't help but appreciate the beaming smile Sophia wore on her face as she got back into the RV.
