sometimes people do not remember or listen

Clint went walking with his dog. They went into a large area, which he considered his backyard. To be honest, it was a huge area right behind the school in Lame Deer, Montana. There, he met the face.

The truth of this story? No one still believes him to this day. He was walking Tony, his dog. When the fae appeared. They did not frighten Clint or his dog.

Clint watched in wonder. The fae seemed to dance in a circle of flowers. Clint had walked here before and did not remember seeing those flowers before.

He moved closer. He wanted to find out more about the fae. His movement closer to the flower circle. Tony pulled him back.

He wondered what to fear. The faes were small. Thinking. He realized that most fae stories did not end well. For those confronting them.

Just when he turned around to leave. Clint heard this voice. “Welcome.” said a voice. Clint turned to face the mysterious voice.

There was a person as large as he was. The person looked friendly. However, Tony growled. So Clint ran home.

However, running seemed to lead him right back to the flower ring. Something had happened to spacetime. The fae caught Clint in another realm.

Clint walked into this new realm. Tony was not around. Clint made a plan to retrace where he had run.

Walking, not running, he retraced each step. The challenge to make sure each step. Doing this, he again ended at the flower ring. Clint called for “Tony.” Tony did not come.

Again Clint heard the voice from a person. “Hello!” Clint knew not to talk to strangers. So, he just motioned with his head in acknowledgment of the hello.

Clint decides to go to the flower ring. The fae were gone. And so was Tony. The mystery of where Clint stood remained.

Clint decided to retry everything once more. Praying this time. Trusting in God. He walked back through his steps once more.

This time Tony stood right outside of the flower ring. Clint walked up to Tony and walked home.

Getting home. Clint told his parent about a stranger in the area. This did no good. He was a child. And the concern in his voice did nothing.

Clint decided not to walk Tony to that area anymore. The problem? Where to walk Tony? Tony the dog ran that area. To change walking habits would be hard.

After a month of walking around that area. One day Clint forgot and walked right by the flower ring again.

Clint did not pay attention and walked right into the flower ring. Right at that moment. Tony disappeared. Clint had vanished again elsewhere.

Clint repeated his steps. Nothing. He prayed. Nothing. They trapped him elsewhere.

Each year people disappear because they do not remember to be cautious. Do not let that happen to you.

Did Clint get home? Only the fae and his parent will ever know.
