What happened?



The woman looked at me and said: dear god girl, what happened to you?
Yeah, what had happened to me?

I was attacked by a grizzly bear,
The beast just came out of nowhere and chased me, I ran and ran and … I tripped
I fell over in the mud, knees dirty, hands dirty
The bear nearly got me but then I realized that wasn’t what happened, there are no grizzly bears in this area,
No Brown bears, panda bears or any kind of wild bear whatsoever

I fell off my bike, was going far to fast for the muddy track
Almost went down a few times before but only just managed to keep the bike straight
It was a small bump in the road, hardly even visible which made me lose my balance
But then where was my bike? There is no bike, never was, this isn’t what happened

I was taking pictures of the wild mushrooms and fungi
Had to get real close to the ground to get the best shot
Got so close I could almost see the gnomes and elves sitting at their breakfast table
The ground was soft under my knees, dirt and moss …

The dog barked, almost looked like he was laughing at me, probably was
The leash was hanging loosely on his shoulders
He was standing about ten meters away and looked at me defiantly

I looked away in shame and finally answered the woman:
I just could not hold him
