^^The trail Nora is walking on.
I follow a old dirt walking trail through the thick, dark forest, birds chirping in the tree tops. I look at my waterproof watch, it's 16°C and 11:56 AM now, I've been walking about 2 hours.
The fear of being ambushed is present in my mind. I'm freaking paranoid and it's really hot.
I start thinking about what others are doing right now, maybe there's a war going on or maybe someone is betraying there best friend right now for survival. I would do that. I would do anything to survive now.
I see a clearing up ahead and notice the trail ends there. I hum out loud. I reach the clearing but do not enter, I have a bad feeling about this. The grass is long, and comes up to my hips and my legs are pretty long, I'm 5'7.
The cleaning is not that long to the other side where the forest beings again. I take my leather bag off my back and look through it in till I found my binoculars. I look at the perimeter of the clearing, in the trees and bushes, I see or find nothing.
I listen for any movement or unnatural sounds, nothing. No one's there, but what if I get ambushed? Despite the fear I take a step forward into the grass.
