Rustle __ Rustle


    The sound of rustling leaves were the only thing one could hear in a certain forest.


    The place was dead silent, not even birds chirping nor wolf howling at night.


    Somewhere inside a small cave the silhouette of a man could be seen with his shadow flickering with a small fire in the middle.


    “


    A groan escaped my lips as I peel off the tissue around my injured left h


    I was hungry, cold, and my whole body felt like shattered glass.


    The fact that I didn’t know anything wasn’t helping at all.


    So I decided to just walk, as far as possible from the location.


    I didn’t know if someone was going to chase me, and the body could attract wild monster.


    Considering the state I was in, I didn’t take the risk so I just grit my teeth and began to march the farthest possible from there hoping that whoever those people no one will try to hunt me down.


    “Tsk……”


    “Again, there is absolutely no food in this damn forest”


    I started to come near a limit there.


    “At least there is water source”


    “But shouldn’t water source attract animals?”


    “Ugh...I don’t understand”


    Ruffling my hair with an annoyed grunt, I decided to push those pointless thoughts out of my mind.


    “Haha __ hahaha”


    Scratch __ Scratch


    My neck began to itch for an unknown reason, the more I laughed the more the itching sensation intensify.

    The next morning I began to resume my journey.


    “I hope I find food before I die from hunger alone here”


    Looking ahead, I could see the green dense forest stretching Two massive mountain could be seen far away in the horizon towering everything at sight.


    My guts was telling me that I wouldn’t find any help if I don’t cross those mountain.


    “Let’s go.”


    “I can’t afford to just sit around here.”


    ‘ Who knows what’s await me in this place’


    “Dead”


    surrounding.


    Gazing at the forest heavy mist blocked everything ahead of me,


    This time everything was dead silent, almost as if I lost my hearing.


    Which was impossible since I could hear my own heartbeat speeding at an abnormal rate.


    Every hair on my body began to stand. My vision began blur,


    ‘


    The most primal and general emotions every being feel.


    And today I get to experience the most scary part of fear.


    ‘Fear of the Unknown’


    Yes, the unknown. Because


    “What in the world… is this?”


    I could see a long slick black silhouette moving extremely slowly


    Everything about that thing was monstrous, he was so tall that if one look at one glance he would look like a tree.


    Crack crack crack


    As if sensing my gaze


    Even without eyes or mouth, I could fell him eyeing at me with the most vicious


    Then before I could even breath his legs began to bend backwards …..and then he began to run towards me.


    behind me or how near me he was.


    My mind was drifting, thinking of any solutions to escape this monster.


    But unfortunately this would be the last of my worries. I didn’t know how I was this strong before because I have gone five days without any meals.


    But today I felt that no matter one was strong he still need to eat.


    “Huf Huf Huf go go go”


    My lungs were on fire, my muscle were hurting me to a point where dying was better.


    But I still continued to run.


    “HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCCCCK”


    crack crack crack


    A deafening sound probably coming from the monster began to pierce my I almost stopped for a second but that was enough for the monster to catch up to me.


    His long hand began to dangerously approach my face.


    “Shit”


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
