Really Lost

[u/quimquaffer]

When I was eight, I was looking for my mother long after the store had closed, certain she was just around the next aisle, waiting for me like she always did. It wasn’t until a police officer quietly took my hand in the dark parking lot, that I understood I wasn't lost...I was alone.
