Retracing His Steps
The next thing Julian remembered is waking up in the same open spot where he had first encountered the strange white flowers. He couldn’t understand what had happened or how he had ended up back at this place. He could have sworn that he and Spike had walked away from this spot and continued their hike, but now he wasn’t so sure. Had they been walking in circles? Julian searched his backpack for his map, hoping to get his bearings, but he couldn’t find it.
He then checked his phone, hoping to call for help or at least figure out where he was, but to his dismay, he had no service. Great, he thought to himself. He was lost in the forest with no map and no way to call for help. Julian knew that he had to find a way out of this place as soon as possible. He gathered his things and called for Spike, hoping that his dog would be able to help him navigate their way out of the forest.
