Into The Woods

Boom! Boom!

The ground shook,

My brain a storm of thoughts,

Running

The wind by my side,

My heart pounding

Cold sweat pouring down my face,

Boom! Boom!

My knee

Eyes behind me

I bit my lip

Shadows danced around me

Puzzled

Afraid

I came to a halt

Lush green grass under my feet

Silk vines reaching to me

I stumbled

Goosebumps appeared

Energy Draining

I held my breath

Somewhere in the distance a crow screeched but that was not what I was afraid of…
