forest

darkness consumes my eyesight. it doesn't take long for light to pour back into my surroundings.

but i want the darkness to stay.

i'm standing in a meadow, tall trees surround the endless patch of grass and it all seems so calming. but i know better than to fall for it.

this is all a trick. nothing but an act of façade to fool me before my own eyes even when i'm dreaming.

i walk towards the trees because i despise the commodious meadow. it's not like i deserve to be there anyway. all i can have is the dark.

as soon as i step into the forest, the sky turns pitch black and the trees become gloomy.

eerie silence fills my ears and i'm still in the damn hospital gown as i walk without shoes covering my feet.

"michael." a voice calls and i turn around, but nobody's there. "michael, come here." it calls again and i follow it towards a huge oak tree.

a dark figure stands behind it and of course, it's the girl. only she looks even more frightening now.

"come here, michael. come to me and we can live happily together."

"no." i coo, taking step after step away from the creepy monster. "no!"

i turn to run. i run as fast as my feet can carry me even though it seems like the forest has stretched further without an end.

the trees aligning the path make it harder for me to find my way out.

"you can't run from me, michael. how many times do i have to tell you? why are you so stubborn?" her voice echoes loudly in my ears.

i trip. and i realise that i'm falling into a hole deeper than anything you could fall into.

but something tells me that this hole doesn't lead to wonderland.
