My Short Stories

Chapter 11

Entering A Rarely Travelled Forest

I was left stranded here in the middle of nowhere. How could he do that to me? Just because I refused to date him he kicked me out of his car. There is literally no one here. I thought of calling a cab but there is no reception.

I started walking as I have no other option. As I was walking I noticed a small path going towards the forest. It looked rarely travelled but tempting. I decided to go towards it.

I started walking on it. Dense trees surrounded me. I kept walking deeper. I know it's stupid but it was as if I couldn't stop. After walking some more, a bright light blinded me.

When I was able to open my eyes, I noticed I was no longer in the forest. The surrounding was much brighter. It was like a fairyland. Everything looked pretty. Perfect. Excitedly, I started to look around. But it was so quiet. There is no body here. Why is there no one in such a beautiful place?

Shrugging, I walked around a bit trying to find somebody. Soon I came across a pond. The water was crystal clear. I sat down there. "I have to go back soon." I sighed loudly.

"You can't go back now." A voice came from somewhere.

"Who is there?" I asked.

"It's me. The pond." Suprised I looked at the pond.

"You? You are talking?" I asked.

"Yes I am talking. And you can't go back." It said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Everyone who comes here never returns. They must live here." It replied.

"There are more people here?" I ask.

"Ofcourse. This is only the entrance. Someone will be coming soon to escort you to the town." It said.

Just then a voice came from behind me. "You must be the newbie." It was a really handsome man or fairy? It had wings. He chuckled.

"Did I said that out loud?" I asked.

"No I can hear your thoughts." He said.

"Oh?" I exclaimed.

He nodded. "By the way, I think you are beautiful."
