Lotus' squealed.
Critters scurried along stiff ground leaves and the crickets were playing soft symphonies.
It was late summer at midnight and echoes of the wilderness rumbled through the forest.
Suddenly lights hit the trees.
Then silence.
A strange new life form is unwelcomed with the sound of silence.
The song of shuffled dirt is repeatedly played like a broken record.
Stained leather gloves continously pump the bowl that swiftly moves the bare earth loosely with ease. Half an hour passes, and the terrain level slowly descends.
Finally, the shoveling stops. Followed by a deep thump upon the forest floor.
But, something seems to disturb the task being done, and the lights quickly fade away, leaving the hole unfilled.
A pair of boots trot through the fallen branches of the forest floor approaching from the opposite direction.
They come for a moment, inspecting the presence. Reaching their hand down, they roll over the figure. It's difficult to see much due to the darkness. They glide their hand down to the person's wrist, and, thankfully, the stranger is able to detect that a pulse is still present.
They pause for a moment, glancing at the empty hole again, their hand gently touching the dirt below to stay balanced. An insect crawls on their fingers, but the stranger lets it be as they think.
After a moment, the stranger shifts. They get to their knees and wiggle their hands, followed by their forearms, under the cloth that cocoons the body. Bringing the weight closer, they try to balance as they stand, and as one, the two are moving through the forest.
The woods are more awake at night than New York City in day. And with the light of the moon, they traveled slowly and quietly. The footsteps soon become the sound of the forest with the insects music joining in soon after. The silence is no more.
