Echo In the Forest

Rainely Forest. Population: Me

The mist has drenched me now. I walk in silence the whole way there. I know my mission. Or I think I do. The trees sing in the wind and I can see my breath as I walk between an old pine and down the narrow path I first beat through with a machete years ago. Rainely Forest. Population: me. No one else dares to enter these parts due to the old folktales encompassing the area. Hah. I mumble and shake my head. If only they even knew. I keep walking until I come upon The Screaming Tree. Inside are 2 nobs. You have to really know what you are reaching for, otherwise they look like just another stump in a tree's bark. I turn the stump on the left to the right and push the stump on the right inwards. A few moments of overdramatic ground shaking and a large opening later, I step inside and the darkness surrounds me. This is the beginning of the terrible mistakes that I have made in my life. Terrible, foolish, mistakes.
