Each night I dread falling asleep, the darkness is overwhelming, the dream is the same, but I'm never in the same place. I try to recognize my surroundings, but through the darkness I can tell that I've never been here before. Tonight I'm somewhere musty, the smell is putrid. I hear the sound of water dripping in the distance. As I make my way across the floor I stumble and land on my knees. My hands hit last. I'm not sure what they're touching, but it feels damp and is squishy. As I pull myself up I realize that I'm on the surface of a rock, it's not a floor. The dampness surrounds me, then the realization of where I am hits - a cave! But where is this cave? I've never been near one before. Then like always I sense the presence of someone else. Oh if only I could see then maybe, just maybe I could make out the features of the person that keeps taunting me in my dreams. I keep my composure, I've become good at this. I want the unknown person to see how brave I am, and then it happens, the sound, a sound unlike anything of this earth...

My Woods

'"What are you doing here?!" I scolded. "What are you doing here?!" Hunter said. "You didn't answer my question!" I said to him. He looked at me and I knew what was coming next. He suddenly turned from furious to comforting. "What's is this place?" He whispered and opened his arms. I examined him cautiously before breaking and running into his arms. I cried against his strong build. He stroked my hair and whispered repetitively, "Its ok. I'm here now. Don't worry. I'm all yours."' Everyone has to start somewhere. My life started without a dad. People change their minds and people make mistakes. My mom did just that when she left me at four years old with my Great Aunt Lorie. I know where my mom lives, but I wish I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I still love her to death, but sometimes...forgiveness...is hard to give out...to everyone. 'I jumped over the river that I had never crossed before. I heard my mom calling my name behind me, but I ignored her. Tears streamed down my face. Now, on the other side of the river, I was in a forest, jumping over logs and fallen tree trunks, pushing leaves out of my face. I stopped when I finally felt fully isolated. I sat down on a small rock and cried and cried and cried. I guess this is where I will stay for now. I guess these are just my woods for now. Just my woods for now.'
