The forest held all of our secrets. If you listened closely, you could hear their faint murmurs on the breeze, the foliage down to the smallest critter could be heard whispering. You just had to listen hard enough. It was the summer before graduation, the final summer before our lives changes. That's what we had thought at least. But, disaster crept up
from the darkness, never heading warning. We were naïve to the change on the horizon, unsuspecting of disaster lurking in the shadows of our forest...
