Thunder shakes the sky and rain falls.

Heavy drops of water attack your head, so you

enter the forest. Sneaking away from the world, walking into

darkness. You hear things scurrying under fallen leaves

as you wander deeper and deeper. The path you've been

running down seems to be disappearing, but you try to 

keep going, unaware that you're getting farther and farther

from home. Soon night falls, the forest is eclipsed in an

odd darkness, there is no moon tonight. Fear sets in, you try to

run, but running in the dark is never easy. You stumble over

every unseen thing in your way. As you go on you begin to hear

screaming. It gets louder as you dart through the trees, fear

tightens it's grip around you neck, and the one screaming is you.
