I took a deep breath and reveled in the sweet smell of the sleeping forest. It was getting closer and closer to December, with the crackle of the leaves with each step and the scuffling of the creatures looking for food and shelter. A small rabbit was sniffing around for its family, it hopped past me sniffing around. Oh no, I think its family is the one that I found yesterday dead on the ground. Poor little thing!
Suddenly I heard a large crackle of the leaves a few feet away. I slowly started to back away from the sound. But it started to come closer, and closer. I backed away a little faster now,
it started to go faster too. My heart was racing, I started to run. I don't know how long it was following me, I didn't even know if it was an it! But that wasn't my main focus. My main focus was to run, That's all that I could think of. All I had to do was outrun it, then everything would be as it should. At least, that's what I kept telling myself. All of a sudden I tripped and fell onto my chin, then everything went black.
Erg, my chin oh my chin. When I tried to open my eyes I saw nothing, pure nothingness. When I touched my chin there was searing pain. I knew that it hurt, but I needed to know if it was broken or not, I touched it again but I was in so much pain I couldn't concentrate on what had happened to it. I tried to stand up, but just bumped my head in the process of doing so. Wait,
I heard footsteps, no... More like someone crawling on the ground. I quickly pretend to still be passed out. It's face came awfully close to mine, and its breath smelled of rotting flesh. Its hand touched my face, terrified, I tensed up then it quickly sat up and crawled away.
There was something very familiar about that touch. That soft sweet gentle touch. But I couldn't quite put my finger on it right then. I slowly began to feel my way around, the ground was, wet almost as if it had just rained, ah ha! All I have to do is follow the water to where it came from! Then I would surely find my way out. I started to follow the water, but after a few feet, I ran into something else. A foot, I looked up to see what it was. My vision was too hazy to make out the exact details, but I could make out that it was a man.
"What are you doing." The strange man asked me.
That voice, it was so familiar. Wait, is that? No, it isn't, but it is... No, it couldn't be, he... He, he died.
