Night came like a spell from an enchantress, extremely cold and eerie, leaving no hint of warmth and hope. Tumultuous black clouds covered the vanquished stars and moon as thunder and lightning announced an impending rainstorm. The coldness around me was unbearable, the type which reached deep inside my soul as if my body was wide open for icy wind. A shiver ran down my spine as gusts of whistling winds penetrated through the measly protection of my clothes. There were no signs of any life around me. The road in which I stood was soo old and ancient that it was impossible to walk without tripping. The road which must have once been full of boisterous children playing around and full of life was now surrounded by dilapidated and derelict buildings Ignoring the panic accumulating inside me, I took in a deep breath and entered the lifeless forest.
Putrefying trees permeated either side of the forest, their emaciated branches reaching high on the sky life the fingers of witches. Their trunks were hunched and crooked, so fragile and enervated as if they have lost all the hope to carry anything. The most cryptic thing about the forest was the dead bodies of putrefying animals here and there. Some of them were stabbed by knives, others covered by scars.
"Who would do that?" I questioned myself. "Why would someone do that?"
The questions befuddled my already daunted mind as I tried to make sense of the inscrutable mystery. Petrified with fear, I felt a sudden urge to wander around the treacherous forest. It was as if some instinct within me was controlling my legs, commanding me to take action in the intricate circumstance. A raven cawed in the distance, almost as if its piercing wail was trying to warn me about the pain I am about to endure. My heartbeat faster with every shuddering step I took, my brain imploding with various emotions. After hours I felt someone watching me. Against all my instinctual impulses I turned around and came face to face with a deadly wolf who didn't take a second to slash my chest. I collapsed on the ground, screaming with pain and terror, feeling myself being dragged inside the deepest part of the forest before a soft, painless feeling spread throughout my body and I felt myself drifting far away from the earth.
