I must have fallen asleep while sitting in this peaceful inviroment because the next thing I know someone's waking me up.I slowly open my eyes and rub them, looking up to a tall and strong figure. It is a man and he's wearing uniform that clearly suggests that he's a guard. He slightly smiles but I'm not sure if he is smiling or frowning his face is so sharp that it's hard to tell. "You must really be tired hey? " the guard asks and I'm not sure how to answer. I just nod my head and look at him confusingly. He seems to notice and says, "Well I'm sorry for waking you up but it's already 7pm and the park closes that time, do you know that?" he asks with a raised eyebrow. I look around and notice that it is slightly dark and I must have slept for a long time. "Yah sorry," I say standing up grabbing my bag. " It's cool,I was about to lockup so you would've been locked up here and that would have caused me to loose my job but luckily I came to make sure everyone has left and that's how I found you here... Interesting place you've got here," he says. "I'm sorry I must have lost track of time I'll leave now," I say yawning. He nods and we both walk in silence to the gate of the park. When I walk out of the gate he talks again and says," Hey,We all have our place and time to escape sometimes just don't run or hide away from it too long it all might catch up to you sooner than you think." I nod and smile at him for the first we've met and this time I can actually see him smiling. I walk away thinking of his words and his kindness, I've forgotten such people exist in this world and life of mine.
