Charred Trees

I sprinted as fast as I could through the dark, foggy, forest. My heart thumped loudly in my ears as I heard a mornful howl rip the silence in half. Unsuspecting branches whipped my face as I hurdled over logs. My breath caught in my throat as I gazed up at the tall charred trees looming over me. They looked eerie in the diminishing sunlight.
