Mysterious Forest

Many things appear lost and hidden but a certain light gives them life. Twilight gives everything an opaque glow making it appear solid like stone. Many sounds, both imaginary and genuine, ricochet around the darkness creating fear and a sense of being gone astray. Forests are found on either side, both black and dead; all the trees deformed into eerie formations, each one seems to strangle another. The owl holes seem to possess jagged teeth, like a wild animal beholds. Suddenly, the only light is provided by a whole and bright moon; a wolf howls in the distance. Twilight has gone, everything appears dead, even the moon is surrounded by a few spine-chilling clouds. Everything has gone silent; something appears to move; leaves rustle raising one’s hair. Without warning, everything has gone black, like a great darkness has engulfed one’s soul. Sadly this is not so for one has become part of the surrounding land, both dead and living.
