Shorts Series: She do be getting lost often - 2032
Her sadness dissipated in the company of the man who was helping her - one that she was tightly holding while putting her tongue out at the mean man behind them. Shay looked around, frowning when she still couldn’t see her parents anywhere. She could almost feel the beginnings of her tears start to form again - the worry that maybe her parents forgot about her, but was soon distracted when the man started talking about her - telling her that he was a prince. The idea made her excited and she couldn’t help but ask "Do yo…you… have a crown? My mommy and daddy don’t have a crown.
She thought about his next question - a sentiment of helping tell him more about her parents. "Ummm my mommy is really fun. I like playing with her and she reads to me every night. We ea…eat everything. Momma sneaks me sweets and tells me not to tell daddy and she’s really funny. There was a soft laugh that met her lips when she told the man about her mother.

Although she liked talking about her momma and papa, it made her sad when she wondered if she’d never find them. Though, she soon found the man asking her yet another question. “Mommy’s dress is veryyyy pretty. I wished I looked like mommy,” Shay frowned, stuffing her head in the man’s shoulder. “Mommy was wearing a longggg yellow dress like the sun. Daddy says mommy’s dress looks like sexii but I don’t know what that means. Do you know what that means?”
“What if I…I never find them” Shay asked in a tiny voice, but the moment she said that she saw her dad walking nearby and almost instantaneously screamed “Daddyyy” The scream caught her father’s attention as he turned at her voice - walking towards her. Shay wiggled as the man finally let her down and ran towards her dad hugging his legs. “Daddy this nice man helped me find you”
