No Luck

"Hmm,” Rachel began, putting a finger to her chin, “tell you what. You go and grab the basket from the house, then we’ll let you in. Deal?”

“Deal!” Lauren shouted as she turned around and ran back to the house. Just as Lauren reached for the knob, she heard the car’s engine start up. Lauren quickly looked over her shoulder to see Rachel and Cassandra smiling evilly as Rachel stomped on the gas pedal and sped off. Lauren gasped in horror as she spun back around and ran away from the door.

“Wait! Stop!” Lauren called out as she began to run after the car, only to trip and fall into the dirt. Lauren looked up and saw the car race down the road and out of sight.

She was far away from any of her clothes or identification. In a diaper. With a stranger who thought she was a baby.

The sheer humiliation of it all began to set in as her face turned bright red; her lip quivering as her eyes began to water. In less than an instant, Lauren let out an ear-piercing wail as tears began streaming down her face.

“Oh my -!” a voice called out as Lauren heard footsteps racing towards her. In one fell swoop, Lauren found herself lifted up and cradled into Karen’s arms.

“How on earth did you get out here?!” Karen asked, concern on her face.

A new wave of humiliation overcame Lauren as she began to cry again, this time even louder. Karen then brought the little woman inside, gently rocking her in an attempt to calm her down. However, Lauren kept crying and crying until she eventually cried herself to sleep.
