PARANOIA
1

Imagine a divorced father of 3 who, just before a snowstorm is about to begin, packs his visitation-kids into his truck for a joyride into an immense forest, where they're supposed to find and cut the perfect christmas tree. They look for hours, according to one of the kids, but none of the hundreds of trees they pass, seem to be perfect enough for their Dad, who suddenly announces that they're lost, that he forgot where his truck is parked, and that, since it's almost dark, they'll have to spend the night in the icecold forest without food, water, blankets, or even some warm jackets and sweaters with which to protect themselves.

After the children's mother accidentally discovers the next day, that her kids are not at her ex's place but missing, she gets hundreds of rescue personnel to search the area's forests, in which a snowstorm has now obliterated all tire-tracks or other signs of where her children might still be.

After 3 days (3 days!) of being lost in the forest, one of the rescue helicopters finally locates the 3 kids and their father.
They're all flown home again.
Minus the perfect christmas tree.
The kids are alive.
Could it be, that they
were not supposed to
have survived this ordeal?
