Old bark is formed as a book. Tiny memories scatter between the rough surfaces. Time moves in between the crevices of the elder trees. Thousands litter the land as far as the eye can see. The Deep South has a way of trapping you and freeing you all in one glance. It is quite mesmerizing, the way the late summer sun sprinkles over the tree trunks. The thin, green branches dance with excitement as the darkness unfolds and a rare July breeze circles throughout the forrest. The trees watch as time comes and then must bid a somber goodbye. They are all-knowing, carefully protecting and watching life unravel before them. For those lives who are almost forgotten, lives of simplicity and old antebellum charm, the pines are called home.

The town of Pine Hollow sat nestled at the edge of the forest, its streets lined with old brick buildings and flickering streetlights. To the east, the dense, towering trees stretched endlessly, a sea of shadows that seemed alive at night. The people of Pine Hollow knew better than to wander into the forest after dark, but no one ever said why. It was just one of those unspoken rules. For 18-year-old Evelyn "Evie" Carter, the forest was a mystery she couldn't resist. She'd grown up on the outskirts of town, her backyard blending seamlessly into the woods. Her mother always warned her about the forest, saying, "There are things out there older than you can imagine." Evie figured it was just another way to keep her from wandering too far. But then, people started disappearing.
