Lost and Found

He is lost in the midst of an evergreen wood turned around in a coffin of trees and of mist while the faint light of day slowly drifts towards the night and a fear grips his heart as his hopes fade away. As the darkness approaches he knows he must act find a way to stay warm to survive through the night and while gathering wood he can hear a bear growl and the rustling stir of a nocturnal cat. But he beats his fears down as he makes a stick hut then in feverish prayer he collapses to sleep filled with tormented dreams and great terrors unknown where dark demons are wrestling angelic hosts. He is startled awake by a primitive howl then a grueling attack and a ripping of flesh but his pain melts away as his body ascends to a place they call Paradise, lost but now found.
