I just wanted to take a peaceful walk and clear my head. As I walked, I had an eerie feeling that the forest wanted me dead.

I walk farther under the wet green canopy; it seems I can hear whispering of someone saying, I want you dead.

As I take each step one in front of the other I can hear the leaves and sticks crunch beneath my feet right after another.

It's very oddly quiet, not a bird nor a chipmunk can be heard. The wind doesn't seem to play its normal serenade, one string at a time, but nothing can be heard.

I swear I can see glowing yellow eyes watching me. I swear I can hear someone say, 'You have nothing to live for.'

In my peripheral, I see shadows racing behind the trees. I can still smell the rain and the coat of dampness covering everything.

It's like I stepped into a prequel to a nightmare. Maybe, just maybe, I should go home.

Is my mind playing tricks on me, or is this forest wanting me dead? Are the ghosts of the dead animals following me? Are they watching me from the treetops?

Yet, I hear not even a squirrel scamper around. I think this forest wants me dead.

I can smell death, and it is close. It will surround me in its clammy embrace.

I keep having visions of me hanging by my neck from a branch. I hear a voice say, 'Just do it, you will be free like me.'

'Like who?' I said.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWy2YucaEY
'It said, you know. Your best friend.'

'Be like me,' a whisper carries this message to my ear. 'You have nothing to fear, I'll be with you.'
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDzhqGJ2G
'Remember me hanging from the tree in the backyard?'
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDwm3UvxF4
'Is that you, my dead friend?'

'Yes, I'm here,' the voice said. 'Join me in death, my friend. Join me, so I won't be lonely.'

'It won't be hard, just use your belt. Join me in eternity.'

So I used my belt and joined my friend. Now, I do know this forest wants me dead.
