Description

While we were walking in the mountains, it suddenly started to rain, as soon as the sun went down. We hadn’t brought an umbrella so we ran towards the forest. During the storm, we reached the forest but we were lost and nobody had packed any food. Meanwhile a police officer was following us. By the time that he found us, we were falling asleep. He drove us home until 4 in the morning.
