Silent Forest

"Silent Forest" is a poignant first-person narrative that delves into the final moments of a man who has fallen from a cliff and lies paralyzed in a remote forest. As he faces the inevitability of his own death, he reflects on the beauty and cruelty of nature, the sounds of the forest providing a stark contrast to his helplessness.

During his agonizing wait, he recalls the memory of his daughter's courageous battle with cancer. Despite his every effort to save her, she ultimately succumbed to the disease, leaving him with an enduring sense of loss and a hope that he might reunite with her in the afterlife.

His situation worsens when a coyote begins to nibble at his flesh, but he is unable to fend it off due to his paralysis. As his body fails, he finds a sliver of peace in the thought of seeing his daughter again.
