Forest Girl Erica
It had happened when Erica was just going to be fourteen; she was very young. Her quest for getting naked and wanted to be seen naked by others kept growing uncontrollably. She was successful in getting naked in presence of new friends for two days in that hot summer. Then baby sitting at Jassica aunt’s place was great adventure with those naughty boys. The baby sitting experience with that little baby and the feeling of super sensitivity on her nipples was still fresh in her mind. Erica was almost certain that she would have great time in Victoria. But again the uncertainties of life are always compelling and unimaginable. Her mom lost her job and was struggling to go along with life; and aunt Flora needed someone to be with her ;so Erica’s mom took her to live with aunt Flora for few weeks till she could find some job.
Aunt Flora had been very active all her life, though the effects of getting in to old age were quite compelling. Her vision has grown very weak and she could see very blur images from close distance. She was unable to see anything at distance longer than few feet .Her memory too telling on her. She could hardly remember anything. All these effects have put her in her own world. Actually the location where aunt lived by herself in a remote corner of the woods, at the end of a little valley somewhere up in the mountains; what most would consider the ends of the world; was very unique place for young Erica.
Within two days after arrival Erica’s mom arranged all basic necessary things and left in search of new job. During those two days Erica had visited the neighbouring town with her mom twice and purchased numerous new variety of fish. That particular fish attracted her young mind because it appeared to flash a light when it touched its food before catching. She did not know that it was electric rays fish known as Temera. Another variety she got was eel fish .She actually did not know what she was going to do with them but she vaguely thought that may she will keep growing them in a fish tank. However she could not find any suitable tank and had kept them in small plastic bucket. The fish remained unattended for quite a few days.
After her mom’s departure, Erica continued with aunt Flora to care for her. Aunt Flora, a very independent spinster her whole life, had also been a teacher ages ago in the little town five or six miles away. She could teach anything all the way up to high school level. Though due to aging problems there were limitations. So for Erica it was nothing more than just living with Aunt Flora. Like it happens to all old people Aunt Flora was getting more and more forgetful about usual normal routines of life. Within first two days Erica noticed that aunt Flora’s attention wandered more to other things and she seemed to pay less attention to her and very rarely needed any assistance; that left with lots of free time for Erica.
From the very first day of her arrival Erica loved the woods. It always felt safe there—it became her playground. Erica found herself wandering further into the woods .Her mind was trying to work out more ways and avail opportunities to try out her young fantasies. In woods Erica always felt safe.
