I Escaped Once, Can I Do It Again?

Prologue:
The nightly clouds roll over and thunder is heard. A gentle breeze blows by, flowing through my hoodie. I look up to see a flash of lightning strike down, far away in a distant forest. The moon's glow lights up the clouds, and my faint shadow is cast upon the cool earth. Suddenly, the night sky lights up, and a massive crack is heard.
The lightning looks like a huge arrow, pointing me in the direction I need to go. The forest in the distance looks menacing, but I head towards it anyways.
The wind seems to push me forward and, as I look up, the clouds begin to clear. I lose myself in the stars and before I know it, the looming forest towers over me. I feel tiny and am suddenly drawn out of my thoughts by the thud of a fallen tree.
I walk towards it. Every step I take seems to have a profound meaning, but I don't know what it is. I feel like I need to be here. As I get closer to the fallen tree, I notice the bark, and how it is different from anything I've ever seen. It was strange yet, somehow, beautiful.
An indescribable color fills my eyes. The most pleasant aroma surrounds me as I walk into the trees, the sky is once again lost under the multitude of leaves. As I begin to take in my beautiful surroundings I notice an odd thing. Everything is silent.
There is a loquacious presence in my head telling me there is something wrong. I ignore it and keep going.
As I head deeper and deeper into the woods, there's a patch of light, it's a clearing. I see a doe leading her young and a great many other animals. The enormity of everything overwhelms me, and I black out in the middle of the clearing. When I wake up,
I don't know where I am. The sky is dark and ominous, and there seems to be no life in the forest. I'm no longer in the clearing. A melancholy feeling settles over me. I suddenly wonder what's happened when. The sky flashes and thunder cracks and I look up and I'm back where I started.
