Blossom
Perry picked a direction and wandered off. He really shouldn’t have. He nervously tapped on his map, trying to orient himself. He couldn’t. Every direction he looked was practically the same: nothing but near-identical trees and bushes. Funny, how he thought he had been on a trail a few moments ago. It was okay though. He wasn’t too worried. The day had barely started, and a few extra days in the forest wouldn’t be too bad. He brought extra supplies anyways, and he would just find a way back eventually.
