Brian had always been a bit paranoid... but, this was a whole new level. What was he seeing? What was he smelling? Why did he keep finding himself in the forest? [A short story] [WARNING: This story contains depictions of poor mental health, paranoia, murder, and mild gore. This IS a thriller/horror, so just keep that in mind]

Every day was painstakingly the same; fight, cry, ignore each other, then make empty promises. It was blood-boiling, infuriating - even maddening - Ambrose couldn't stand it. So, one fateful day, he takes matters into his own bloody hands. [This was a school project I decided to share here, it is a prequel to a story called 'Where is Here'. I do not own the original content or concepts of 'Where is Here', only the characters and concepts in 'What was Once Here' are mine.] [WARNING: CONTENT INCLUDES MURDER, DOMESTIC ABUSE, MAIN CHARACTER DEATH, FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS, MILD GORE, DEPICTIONS OF POOR MENTAL HEALTH, AND SO ON. This IS a thriller/horror, so keep that in mind!]
