Incandescent sunlight shone down on the clearing, turning the tips of the trees emerald whilst the rest of their slender bodies remained cloaked in shadow.

An arm motioned him away from the body, but he shied away from it.
Knowing what he had to do, he ran from the gloomy scene.
He needed to tell someone.
He had to.
