I Died for Them. Now Watch Me Return the Favor
611 Views · Ongoing · Piper Hayes
In my past life, we were camping in the wilderness area of a state park when my best friend handed out "lucky charms" to the whole group. Charms she'd secretly packed full of wildlife attractant.
A wild boar knocked me to the ground outside the cabin door. Its tusks tore into my stomach. I pounded on the wood with both fists, screaming. "Help! Open the door!"
Inside were my boyfriend of two years and the best friend I'd been quietly supporting for just as long. Autumn Warren.
"I'm so sorry, Brynn." Autumn's voice broke into sobs, but her weight stayed pressed hard against the door. "There are boars everywhere. We open that door, we're all dead."
"Just hold on! I'm calling 911!" Wyatt Fletcher's voice rang out with the kind of conviction that cost him absolutely nothing.
I paid for that trip. I'd fallen behind because I'd stopped to pull Autumn along.
And they stood on the other side of that door, my blood soaking into the dirt, and locked me out.
I open my eyes. I'm back. It's the day we left.
