Run... Run... That word echos in my head like corrupted melody sung by the sirens of the sea. I run, pushing my legs into agony, my lungs closing tighter and tighter. All the while the scene around me pushes my fear into a hysterical hallucinations. The menacing flames are ready to engulf me in a fiery hot grasp, the ground writhes and turns causes me to topple over again and again. Flames licking my heels wherever I go. I escape from it into the forest, it burns more wildly than before. I run and leap to save my life and be alive, my survival instincts kicks in in a blink of an eye. When I saw an opening I slid into the  burrow beneath the tree. The soil is wet and safe from harm, any harm. before my eyes I see the roots from the trees close together creating a wooden cocoon for me. Before I know it fatigue falls over me like a waterfalls misted dew cascading around me. My eyes half closed I look up the wooden cocoon and see a light beating off and on.... Such a weird tree.....why does it glow such a white light. I then fall asleep.
