SECURITY

Once upon a time, a small town in the middle of a thick forest existed. A tall barrier completely ringed the town, providing a safe zone that protected the occupants from any danger that might result from the outside world.

With a booming economy and hospitable residents, the town was tranquil and affluent. The residents felt secure and safe within the boundaries of their town because the nearby forest had never presented a threat or risk to them.

There was a group of energetic and daring young people, nevertheless, who had grown bored with the routine of life in the gated community. They yearned to experience and discover the foreign world beyond the barrier.

The teenagers ventured into the forest one evening against the town elders' cautions. They were determined to see what was on the other side of the fence and brought an air of adventure with them.

They came across a variety of previously unseen wildlife as they travelled deeper into the forest. They were in awe of the beauty of the trees and the creatures that inhabited there. In the safe haven, they felt a sense of freedom they had never known.

Their joy, though, didn't last long. They found themselves alone and lost in the dark woodland as night fell. Every turn they made appeared to take them farther away from the town as they searched for a path back.

They became aware of their peril as the night became darker. The jungle was full of deadly creatures that crouched in the dark, and they lacked food and drink.

They made an effort to backtrack, but it was useless. The only thing left for them to do was locate refuge and wait until dawn because they were completely lost.
