Afterwoods.

They whisper i can hear them.
As if they're taunting me, knowing that i'm scared.
And they point with their long spindley fingers, they point and they
reach out to grab me, to snag my clothes, to make me look up. But i
wont, i wont look into their dark empty eyes, i wont show them the fear
in mine. I'll keep watching my feet until i am back out into the open.
If it daylight in here i wouldn't mind, but the woods exist in a
different time, a time where it's always night. i know that once ui get
outside i'll be able to feel the afternoon sun on my face but for not,
i am surrounded by the oblivious darkness that inhabits these woods. My
father says it's just because the trees are so tall, and so widt that
they block out the suns rays, but i know the truth. It is always
nighttime in the woods because the creatures that live here cannot
exist in the light of the sun, they are like woodland vampires, cruel,
mischievious monsters that love the shadows and hide there waiting for
the likes of me to come stumbling by.
Now i know how Little Red Riding Hood felt, only my big bad wolf will
more likley kill me on the spot rather than trecking all the way to
grandma's house. Still, i'll be out soon. I'll be safe in the sunlight
and they wont be able to get me until next time. Did there have to be a
next time? Of course there did, this was my way home unless i wanted to
walk all the way around. That wouod take me at least another hour. No
the woods are my only option, besides i know it's all in my head, i
know that i'm just scaring myself. Still it'll be over for another day
any minute now.......what was that?
I thought i heard something, like a twig snapping behind me, oh Jesus
something is behind me.
Calm down it's all in your head.The hell it is there it is again, like
i snapping, rustling sound.
Oh sweet Jesus, this is it. This is the end. i'm gonna be killed by a
woodmonster.
I can't breathe.
Speed up, keep walking, don't look up, just keep walking.
My heart is racing, i think i'm having a panic attack, and i can hear
the tree's laughing at me, hear their whispering taunts.
I think i want to run, but if i run i might fall and then it'll get me.
But if i don't run it might get me anyway.
Dammit, i hate making decisions.
I'm gonna run, the day is only a short way away, i think i can make out
some light up ahead, that's it i'm running.
But i can still hear sounds behind me, maybe it's running too, i mean
why wouldn't it, if it wants me it's gonna run if i run.
Oh shit, what was that, i think it was a root whatever it was it's done
it now. I'm falling, it feels like it's taking forever to reach the
ground.
Ouch, there it is.
Oh god i dropped my glasses, i can't see.
Where are they.....ouch sharp....damn that's not them....oh wait what's
that, it's....it's...furry, shit it's furry and it's moving.
Aaaagggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can feel hot breath on my face, it's breathing on me, it's
it's.....pushing me down....it's..it's.....it's licking my face.
"WOOF!"
"Grover? Is that you?"
"WOOF!"
"Dammit it Grover, you are so gonna pay for this!"
He's is in so much trouble, so much for man's best friend. Still I
should've known i'd be fine once i got my senses back. I wasn't really
scared you know, just a bit nervous, still i'm always fine
afterwoods!
