[ WP ] You 're arriving home and you park your car about two blocks away from your place . You start walking but the streets you have to go through seem to have been changed . You can recognize the streets behind you but not the ones in front of you .

None of this looked familiar. I started jogging. The rain finally subsided giving way to an erie silence. The foreign streets glimmered with the reflections of street lights appearing as balls of fire. I glanced up. There was nothing but darkness in every window. I stopped to catch my breath and gather my thoughts. Everything behind me was the city I know and love, the city streets I've ran my whole life. Yet I was lost. I could n't find my way home. Suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed through the vacant streets. I turned around. No one. What's going on? This has to be a dream. The footsteps got louder. My heart began to race. I turned back around face to face with a beautiful young woman. 
 
 `` Who are you?'' I tried to sound brave but I knew she sensed the panic in my voice. 
 
 `` It's me, Laura. Dad you know you're not supposed to leave the house by yourself. We've been looking for you for hours.'' 
 
 I could n't tell if it was sadness or disappointment in her voice. Probably both. 
 
 `` I'm sorry. I love you.'' I began sobbing uncontrollably. 
 
 `` It's okay dad. I'm glad you're okay.'' She was crying now too, whoever she was.
