Matthew 26:20... "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray us."
...Betrayal comes in all kinds of forms, but from one of your good friends?
~*~
A group of friends all decide to go camping one November in 1987. They have taken many trips together, but this time it feels different.
Off.
A strange feeling covers them all. Yet, this isn't from the deep, eerie forest seeming to devour them whole. Nor does this fear come from the animals that act in peculiar ways.
No, it stems from the slow threat coming from one of them.
Then, when young, docile Naoko goes "missing", Amaya and Jacan feel the need to cease whatever threat may be coming at them before it takes down everyone.
Will they succeed, or is their fate already sealed in these deadly woods?

A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin.
