"тhє ѕ¢αяιєѕт мσиѕтєяѕ αяє тhє σиєѕ тhαт ℓυяк ωιтhιи συя ѕσυℓѕ." - Edgar Allan Poe
She felt something solid beside her.
She woke up, darkness loomed around her.
On alert, she sat up in a hurry, looking at her surroundings.
She was in a dark forest, with nothing in sight. To make it worse, it frightened her that it was quiet. Too quiet.
When she placed her hands on the ground just by her left side, she felt something.
Something squirming.
Something that was wet and sticky to the touch.
Turning her head to the side, she was at the verge of screaming, but her other hand covered her mouth.
A corpse.
Not just one.
But dozens, lying around where she lay.
Not just where she was, but everywhere.
Her illusion of not seeing things more specifically vanished in an instant, and as if she didn't make it worse, she looked at the corpses more closely.
Ripped apart.
Mutilated.
Parts disconnected from each other.
Blood.
Evelyn stood up, circling around her.
Everywhere she sees, there could only be the sea of corpses. Nothing more or less.
Walking upon them, she found two corpses.
Her father and mother.
Then, another corpse.
Grandmother and grandfather.
And, another.
Remus.
"No," Evelyn muttered, clutching her head. "No no no no no no no no no no no!"
Walking forward, with reluctance and her body shaking with fear, she felt tears dropping down her face.
Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up.
She whipped around, to face nothing but millions of corpses behind her, and no one stood among them.
"Who goes there?" Evelyn asked.
The voice giggled.
Why, of course, you had to start asking the stupid questions first. But, I will have to return your question with a question of mine. It would only be fair if I did.
Evelyn felt hand grasping onto her shoulders from her back, and someone, or something, whispered into her ear.
What ever business do you have here, miss? Finally realizing that something was wrong, hm?
Evelyn jumped out in fright, whipping around like an animal that's loose.
"Wh-who are you? Show yourself, coward!" Evelyn declared, backing up.
The voice laughed maniacally.
I don't need to show myself, miss. If I could, I would, but I would rather entertain myself first and foremost.
