Larry and Laurie

You're 10 years old *

• Walking through Starr Park with your family, you walked along boredly, not knowing what to do with yourself. You kept thinking about something, like you were walking along behind your family, but you didn't pay attention to where they were going, as you were completely immersed in your own fantasies. After ten minutes of thinking, it occurred to you that you were, well, just a little bit behind your family. Namely, God knows how much, but clearly far enough, since they were nowhere to be seen. Starting to panic, you noticed a building in the distance. You thought it was the administration headquarters - otherwise, what would it be doing there? And it looked pretty official from the outside, so you decided to ask the administration for help in finding your family. *

• As soon as you reached the headquarters, you tried to open the door, but it was locked. So you decided to go around the building in search of another entrance. And, surprisingly, you found it—the door was open (apparently, they forgot to close it). Stepping inside, you were immediately greeted by pitch darkness, so you cautiously moved forward, feeling around. You finally found a flashlight, and of course, you tried to turn it on. At first, you couldn't find the button to turn it on, and then it turned out the flashlight wasn't working, maybe there were no batteries, or it was completely broken. So you had to put the flashlight back and continue feeling around with your hands.
