forest

Leah has lived in the forest forever. That's what she thinks, anyway; any remainder of a previous life is floating just out of her reach of recognition. She doesn't think about it much. What with staying alive, and trying to keep her companions (Caroline, Alex, and Emmi) alive, philosophizing about from whence she came isn't the first thing on her mind. It's not important, anyways, she thinks. The forest is safe. There's always something to eat, even if it is a little bitter. The four of them have lived without incident in the rotten hollow formed by a fallen tree for seasons. But the forest is about to get a lot less safe and a lot more sinister, and it's going to take everything Leah has just to keep going.
