double checked my backpack before leaving work for home and my key was inside my bag. I arrive home and I walk to the door. I reach for my bag and get my key out (I swear I saw my key in the bag while standing outside the front door) and it slips from my fingers and I hear it fall onto the ground. I look down around me and I completely can’t find the key. I checked under the mat, checked the leaves (there aren’t that many leaves), just checked everything around the step and even went further away from the door and I absolutely can’t find my key. I checked my backpack again and emptied everything out and there is no sign of my key. I checked my pockets and there is no key. I even got help from someone else to help me find them and there is no sign of them. We also used a brush to sweep the leave but still nothing. This has left me very very frustrated with myself and I’m starting to doubt if I ever had my key with me in the first place even though I could have sworn I had it with me and even saw myself reach into the bag and pull it out and then it falling out of my hand and hearing the sound of the key hit what sounded like the concrete step which is where I was standing on. I have never been so annoyed with myself and at an object the key in this case.
