"Run! Run!" That's all I can think. My heart racing, my chest heaving in and out, but yet that's all I can think. Run.
I feel like someone, or something, is chasing me and I'm terrified. I'm not really sure where I am either. I have no memory of coming to the woods. That's when I realize that that's exactly where I am. The woods.
I turn my head to look at the trees that I am running past and I am going at such a fast pace that they seem to be running towards me.
"Why am I here?"
I keep running until I come to a drop-off. I look behind me to see if I lost whatever was chasing me. Even though I didn't see anything, something was telling me that it wasn't too far behind.
I had a choice to make in that moment. I could either jump and hope I live, or I can wait for whatever is chasing me and possibly be murdered.
I decide to jump.
As I am falling, I look up and what I see is horrific.
The "thing" that was chasing me turned out to be a man. This man did not look like other men usually do though.
He looked a lot bigger muscular wise and his face was the most evil face you could possibly imagine. His eyes were red and I could have sworn I saw horns. Not too big, but noticeable enough to where you could see them from afar.
I am frozen with fear and have to force my eyes away from him. I look down to see how far I have left to fall, because it seems as though I have been falling for eternity.
I realize that I am headed towards a body of water and that I actually jumped off right next to a beautiful, sparkling waterfall.
Right as I notice the waterfall, that's when I hit the water. I have never felt such excruciating pain in my life. My lungs have collapsed and I feel my spine crumble. I try to come back up to the surface, but I am paralyzed and begin to feel myself slowly dying.
"No, it can't end like this," I think to myself as I slowly began to fade into the darkness.
