I chose to divide the composition into three, and use all of the headlines.

Home sweet home
I’m home....my worst nightmare was over. The last five days I have spent in a dark, cold «mine». I did never thought I got home, but I did and here is the story....
Left alone
It was Sunday morning. The autumn had coloured the nature with all kinds of coloures. It was beautiful. Mum and I decided to go for a walk. We went up to the hills and headed for the mountains. It was beautiful. Once again I sat down and thought about life. God must have a colourfull fantasy if he really created this, I thought to myself. After a few hours of walking my mother was getting on my nerves.
-I got to go pee. I’ll be right back, I said. I had to get some rest from my mother, so I sat down. Later I had to go back to her so she wouldn’t worry. From here I don’t remember that much, besides that I was falling into a big hole. I’ve still got bruces from the landing. It was dark and cold. I was screaming for my mother, but there was no use. I took out a lighter from my bag. I lightened it, and I could not see anything but walls. Where were I, in a cave, or a kind of cellar? I was left alone, and it was getting dark. I thought about my mother, what would she think? I fooled around in my bag, and I found some of my mother’s cigaretts.
I knew it was bad for me but I took one anyway. It was getting cold, and I was hungry too. I looked in the bag again and I grabbed some biscuits to eat, and a coat to wear. I thought to myself; what if they don’t find me, how do I get out, and do they even care looking for me? I was frightened to death. I didn’t know if there was day or night, but I got up and looked around. I found a lantern, and lightened it up. I didn’t believe my own eyes...It was some kind of a mine. I jumped into a wagon, and rolled slowly longer into the mine. After fooling around in the mine for a long time I gleamed light ahead of me. I was free, well I thought so, but I was wrong. As far as I could see, I saw mountains, nothing but mountains. I didn’t know what to do. I sat down and cried, I cried for a long time. I didn’t know how much I would miss my family and friends until then. I missed my bed to. I had not slept for two days, so I lied down and fell asleep. I slept for a long time.....


Saved!
....and when I woke up, I was home. I didn’t understand how or when I got home, but that didn’t make any differents, because all that mattered was that I was home......
