Kai sat on the grass, his back hunched as he stared into nothingness. He tried to imagine that he was somewhere else, like everything happening in his life wasn't real. It felt as though a heavy weight was pressed against his chest and no matter how much he tried to get it off he couldn't seem to do it. He wanted to tell his parents but each time he tried his voice constricted and no words left his lips.
"Hello"
Kai raised his head up, surprised to hear the shrill sound of a little girl's voice. His back straightened as his gaze narrowed on the tiny figure sprinting towards him. His eyes scanned around them for any sign of her parents but there was no one around. A huge grin played on her face as she got closer, breathing heavily from having to run that distance with her small feet.
She came to a stop, slumping on her butt in front of him panting heavily as she tried to calm herself down.
