Donkey Creek

“I’ve never taken a walk around here,” Aysen remarked.
“Really?”
“Yeah, my family just moved in a couple months ago. We’re pretty much avoided in my neighborhood. We don’t live in the most inviting house,” Aysen said.
“Where do you live?” Sora asked, curious.
“Just a few blocks from here. It’s a big Gothic mansion,” Aysen said. “People say it’s haunted.”
“Nah, just rumors,” Sora said. “But I’d believe them since I met you!” she smiled, beaming with happiness.
“You look very pretty when you smile,” Aysen said.
“That’s sweet of you,” Sora grinned. She turned to her seeing-eye dog. “So, Noah, could you take us to Donkey Creek?”
Noah barked as an answer.
“Where’s Donkey Creek?” Aysen asked.
“A little spot I love to visit. I go really often with Noah,” Sora said.

They walked for a little while. Aysen was surprised how Sora and Noah walked together in unison. It was amazing. Sora didn’t even hesitate to walk forward.

“We’re there,” Sora said, sitting down on a bench.
