This Girl Followed a Puppy Into an Alley—Then Disappeared From Maps
Paving the Way
On Monday, the alley was just an alley—no door, no Ivy, no whispers. The hardware store wall had been repainted, and the sidewalk was clean. But when Lila passed by, her steps slowed. She carried a new book in her backpack—a red-covered journal with blank pages.
That night, she drew a map of things that shouldn’t exist, paths that bent and doors that waited. And in the corner, she wrote a note: “If you see paw prints, follow. But never alone.” Then she smiled softly. Because some doors never really close. They simply wait for the right person to knock.
