My stomach lurched as I emptied the contents, which wasn't much, onto the dirt and grass. My face was a sickly white, dark circles shadowed my eyes, as I could see from the water of the glistening lake. The sun was shining unnaturally bright... In the middle of a forest-

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the dead woods, making every hair on my body stand up on edge, when I glanced up again, clouds shielded the bright light in the sky. Shakily, I got to my feet, my panicked breaths the only sound to be heard among the deafening silence. My dark eyes scanned the area carefully, begging to find any forms of life among the rugged branches, quietly, cautiously, like a hawk. Nothing... There was nothing to... Be afraid of...
