Having walked this way hundreds of times before and never seen the park before, sure that it must have appeared over night, Andi stops on her way home and peers through the gateway and into the foliage, feeling as if something is calling to her.
Looking about,seeing nobody else and thinking it odd that a street that is normally busy is suddenly devoid of both pedestrians and traffic, she takes a step back.
The urge to go walking in such a before park increase and hesitantly, Andi undoes her last step and after a moment of deliberation, she tells herself, "It is such a hot day and walking amongst the shade of the trees might feel cooling," as she takes another step toward the park.
Looking about yet again, she chuckles and tells herself, "Girl, you are just being silly. Traffic must have been diverted," she peers up and down the street, searching for construction, "And there is no way a park could call to you," she tells herself, finishing her thought as she glances one final time up and down the street and then takes a step into the park.
"It really is cooler in here," she thinks as she starts to follow the path.
Twisting and turning, she follows it, thinking, "It will probably lead me on a scenic tour and then deposit me back at the entrance," failing to see as it either shifts or vanishes behind her.
Moments pass by and give way to minutes and after about forty nine minutes, Andi decides, "I think I better be getting home," and turning, she starts to follow what she thinks is the path, but soon discovers that she is in fact actually wandering the woods.
Turning about, she tries to retrace her steps, but only succeeds in getting further lost. After wandering like this for about twenty minutes, Andi sits down on a bench and looking about, she sighs and thinks, "It must be getting late. I wonder if there is a warden who checks the park before it closes."
Stretching out her feet, she looks up and thinks, "The foliage though is nice and cool. I'll just wait here," as she shifts her posture and yawning, she lays down on the bench. Within moments, she is asleep.
