I felt my eye's flicker open while feeling my breath getting heavy, I lift my face from the cold dirt surface while feeling blood trickle down my face and onto the dirt. it wasn't a pretty sight but iv'e seen worse. I faced up, looking around wondering where I was but all I saw was Gray... some colors were visible but most of it was dull. "wh-where am I?" my voice shook as the cold air hit my face, sending shivers down my spine. I stood up from the path I was laying on, my legs trembling over the cold misty air, once more I checked my surroundings, nothing but trees, the path seemed to start from where I was standing for some odd reason. Knowing that I was stranded and didn't know where to go, i decided to follow the dirt path.

I started moving my hurt legs wondering how i hurt them so badly, but the real question is how did I get here in the first place. I checked my pockets for my phone but I couldn't find it. "Dang it" I placed my finger on top of my head to check if there was any blood, there was. It wasn't that bad but it must be the reason to why I got this massive headache. Who knows how I got this headache and who knows how I got here. I kept talking to myself until my thoughts were interrupted by an Erie vibe. I started to panic as I heard a small voice, as if it were a whisper. 'behind you.' I turned on my heel as fast as i could, only to be greeted nothingness. That was until I looked further back into the woods and saw a weird white shaped figure in the distance. I took a step back in fear, then the creature took a step back as well. I tilt my head a little in confusion. Then the creature tilted its head to the side as well. I stared at the figure as thoughts began to cloud my mind. Is that thing copying me? What is it trying to say? Why is it mimicking my movements? I then broke out of my daze once I started to to see the creatures movements. The creature just run away into the dull looking forest without a trace.

"Wha-what just happened...?" I was so confused, I just stood there thinking to myself about the event that took place. my thoughts were interrupted again by a growl, it was my stomach. I let out a sigh and continued walking, but I made sure to keep my guard up in case that creature appeared again.

I looked around not letting my guard down while I walked on the dull looking path. I was beginning to starve and felt ill, But I had to keep going no matter what. I don't think anything can grow here, so finding food out here would be impossible so I need to find a way out as soon as possible. As I walked down the dirt path the trees began to spread out more the more I walked up the trail, eventually the trees stopped showing up indicating that I must have gotten out of the forest. I kept walking as I came to a halt once I saw a small shed like building in the distance. I started to speed walk up the dirt path as a little bit of hope shined in my eyes. If there's some people there I can probably find out where I am! As I got closer to the wooden shed my hopes where instantly crushed when I saw the entire shed which looked abandoned. I walked up closer to the broken down shed. The shed was made of a very dark oak wood while some huge holes were present around the small wooden building. A stone path seemed to replace the dirt where the shed stood in place despite the sheds bad condition. found a broken down sign on the stone path i was following, I curiously walked up to the sign carefully and begin to read what it said, "carnival..." "why is the other words not readable?" I stopped thinking when I felt a disturbing vibe while looking at the board, there was a person on the board, he looked like a circus manager,or something of the sort but half his body was covered in a black like substance, I got up and left the sign behind not wanting to look back while I continued walking. I walked for what felt like forever until I realized I passed by a weird looking booth, since Curiosity got the best of me, I stopped walking and slowly walked back to check what's inside.

I looked around inside the booth and saw tickets and a few empty bottles. I stopped moving when I heard a noise. It was coming from inside the booth. I looked around more to see where the noise was coming from until I saw something move. I then saw a spider like creature that looked like it was drenched in swamp water, it's legs were vine-like and moved without using muscle, it had two huge fangs but had no eyes. Then it looked at me threateningly. "GrrrrrrrrAAA" the spider like creature jumped onto my face, and started to suffocate me. I tried to scream for help but to no avail. everything started to go black... I was in so much fear and lost of oxygen i was about to pass out but then I felt the creatures arms stop moving and let go of my face, then everything went black.

I opened my eyes and looked around but only to be greeted by darkness. A shiver went down my spine as i felt a wicked evil stare glaring at me from behind, I turned my back and i saw a man...? But it wasn't a regular man, this person had a everlasting smile with crimson blood eyes that pierced through my soul, he also had a slightly torn tuxedo with polka dots and a fancy top hat. Wait... This guy looks familiar, wasn't he that guy I found on the board I found, but less creepy? We stared at each other for along time until I noticed someone was on the floor behind the creepy man, I looked closer. It was a little girl... she was sprawled onto the dark ground with blood filled tears running down her cheek. She was dead. I then froze and looked up to the man, his hands were filled with blood, but one of his hands was holding a sharp needle with red covering the sides. The needle had a long string hanging from the bottom, and it had the appearance of a sewing needle. the man looked down at me while giving me a dreadful grin. he turned away from me and started walking slowly toward the little girl. I tried getting up. nothing happened. I couldn't move. I kept trying but... I couldn't. I looked up to see the man holding the needle up in front of the girl, he then held the needle back then plunged the needle through the girls face, all I heard were painful screams while I watched in horror as blood pooled around the mans black bloody shoes. Then everything went black.

I open my eyes to a powerful bright light. The light faded and a white cloth appear on the ground where the man use to stand. The cloth gave off light that pushed back the darkness, I then felt my body start to move on its own but I didn't try to stop myself cause I was curiouse about the cloth myself. I got up and walked towards the cloth, it's light only shown on my body, considering the fact that everything around me was pure darkness. I inched closer to the cloth with my hand in front of my face trying to block off the burning light, I then was able to look at the cloth, I kneeled down by the cloth. I reached out to the cloth until-
