Forest In Between

There's the path; standing there in the darkness with the moon only illuminating it.

The tall evergreens, crowding over the path.

There's the stream, glistening brightly, making it all seem like a terrible dream.

Then there's the whispers, the ticking, and the berries. The berries that change everything-that change you.

The forest will always be there, waiting to take you for judgement.

As it did with her.
