Dead leaves don't fall
When I first set foot in the Shivering Woods, I was looking for answers - a scientific explanation for the disappearances, the strange rumors, the unnatural cold that seems to seep from the trees. What I found was something far older and far darker than I ever imagined. The forest doesn't just hide secrets; it feeds on them. Time bends. Memories bleed into the bark and the soil. And something watches from the shadows - faceless, patient, and knowing exactly who you are. As the woods close in, whispering in voices meant only for the lost, I had to face a terrifying truth buried beneath the roots. One wrong step, and you become part of the forest itself, trapped where dead leaves don't fall. This is the story of what I saw - and what I barely survived.Completa
