Running through the forest
Silence all around
Stop. Wait.
Do you hear that sound?
A gasp, a whisper
A crunch, a snap
Take off in a sprint
There is no turning back
Running through the forest
Slip and hit the ground
Red rivers carry you away
Distraught and hell-bound

Day 74: Run, Forest, Run
Running through the forest
Silence all around
Stop. Wait.
Do you hear that sound?
A gasp, a whisper
A crunch, a snap
Take off in a sprint
There is no turning back
Running through the forest
Slip and hit the ground
Red rivers carry you away
