<p>Good evening friends, today I am thrilled to share a story that will spark your curiosity, ignite your interest, and leave you eager for more. Are you ready? If so, let's dive in! </p><p> </p><p> IT</p><p><br/></p><p>I took a selfie.</p><p><br/></p><p>And just before I set off, I took a half-hearted glance at the picture. It was blurry but I imagined seeing myself in it and I skipped checking properly as I was running late.</p><p><br/></p><p>I dashed out of the house. The girls should have been waiting and I really couldn't wait for the picnic to start.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was a summer afternoon, and everything was great, as it seemed. The girls and I had planned for this weeks ago and finally! It was our time off and truth be told, we needed a break. What better way to spend the day than with a girls' trip? We were so excited.</p><p><br/></p><p>I hurriedly got on the train but there was almost no seat left. As I looked around I discovered there was one, in the corner, in the middle.</p><p> "That'll do", I smiled as I walked to the seat.</p><p><br/></p><p>Still on the train, I decided to take another selfie but before I could see how I looked and critique my photography skills, I got a call from the girls.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Hey! Where are you?. We'll start without you! The chocolates are melting”.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Lex”, I sighed. “You’re not even there yet.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“How’d you know that?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I can see your background” </p><p><br/></p><p>“Oh”, she replied with a chuckle. I giggled too.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Alright, see you both soon”. I ended the call.</p><p><br/></p><p>I took a look at the picture. It was beautiful just as I expected. I adjusted the strands of hair on my eyebrow, applied more lip gloss and wiped my tooth with my thumb.</p><p><br/></p><p>We finally arrived at our destination for the picnic, minutes after one another. We chatted, laughed heartily(more than we've done in a long time), played games and ate. The meals and snacks were delicious! Thanks to Anna.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Let's take a selfie”, I said.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Sure!”, they replied excitedly.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Click</em>.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Now, let's see”, I said.</p><p><br/></p><p>We laughed and pointed at different things in the background. It was all great until Lex's smile disappeared.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What's that?” She asked, calmly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What’s what?” I questioned.</p><p><br/></p><p>“That!, right there. What's that?” She asked again, this time raising her voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>I zoomed in the picture. I wasn't sure what that was so I scrolled. It was in the next picture, and the previous. </p><p><br/></p><p>I checked the first picture I took that day, it was there but blurry and then I checked the last picture…</p><p><br/></p><p>I saw it clearly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Fear shivered down my spine. I could feel the goosebumps.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Run”.</p>
