[I don't know how I terrified myself by writing this 💀]

I.N walked through the perfect trail, both sides blooming with crystal-blue flowers that were about the height of his ankles. [20]

As he progressed down the trail, the flowers started looking duller and duller most of them lacking coloured petals. [19]

The sky was a blend of pitch black and midnight blue, the stars standing out like glitter stickers. [18]

I.N looked on and he realised that the trail started bending in no clear and evident direction. [17]

The breeze that had been accompanying him just a moment ago had vanished into the night. [16]

Only now did I.N realise that he was all alone in this chilly, unforgiving place. [15]

His steps were now tentative, caution and anticipation stiffening his once languid demeanour immediately. [14]

The flowers were all at a standstill, contrasting their small waving movements previously. [13]

Even the night sky was starting to bleed midnight blue, staining flowers. [12]

Now, with barely any light, the blooming flowers were ominously camouflaged. [11]

To say fear gripped his heart would be an understatement. [10]

I.N turned back, longing to walk back to light. [9]

His knees trembled as he stared at nothing. [8]

The trail behind him had been swallowed. [7]

There was no turning back now. [6]

I.N swallowed and began walking. [5]

Each step was cautious. [4]

Each breath held. [3]

I.N paused. [2]

Snarl. [1]
