This short-story is about a woman who was lost in the woods; unsuspectedly heard a noise…she doesn’t know what to expect from that estranged sound. But, all she knows, is that she needs to get out of there fast before something terrible happens.

I was walking down the narrow path one night and I found myself starting to hallucinate. I couldn’t stop thinking about my fiance..how gone he was..we were suppose to spend time w/ each other. But, I lost him in the woods…I found his torn up clothing, all covered in blood. Something must’ve ate him or killed him..or, maybe he fell off and rolled down the cliff..heck.. I don’t want to even think about it right now..I feel drained out of tears!!

 I wonder, to myself, what had I got myself into? Why did I go this way? After days of not finding my way, I had no food leftover my bag. I was so god darn hungry! I am so, very tired of walking. In need of rest, I decided to stop by this big, old tree. Finally, closed my eyes & drifted off to sleep. As I started to dose off, I was awakened by a loud, terrible sound. (weird sound coming from a creature.)

It sounded as though an animal was ranned over by a bull-dozer and is now shrieking in pain, or an animal being attacked and murdered, or even something or someone being frightenly tortured! I looked to my left, no one. Looked to my right, nothing….I was frightened..I don’t think that I’ll be able to fall asleep after hearing that strange noise.

There was nothing there..no one was around. It was just me sitting in the woods, all by myself, enveloped in darkness. I quickly stood up…trying to find out where that noise was coming from. But, evidently, that noise that I heard came once. I stood there quietly trying to hearken it again. But, not another sound. I kept walking.

As, I decided to walk, I felt thirsty. Pulled out my flask from my hand-bag and drank. As I decided to drink, that’s when I heard that same estranged sound again. “What the hell?! was that?!”, I said out loud. Man, that was weird..well, actually, more than that. It sounded scary. I am freaked out of my mind right now. I don’t know what the hell is going on..or where I’m going…it’s dark as hell…I’m tired..I’m Starving! Weak at the fucking knees!! Fuck!!

Heading straight, I seem to find myself lost in the woods. It just feels like I’ve been going around in circles. This is like a never-ending path-road. I hope that I don’t find anything awful here..or something scary. That’s the last thing I want on my mind right now.

Ten long minutes, I stumble upon something. I had spotted a clean trail…as I was walking, I spotted a cabin. (sighing).. I took another sip of water in my flask. Relieved into thinking this is my resting ground..I thought to myself …what if someone occupies this shit. Don’t even know if it’s even safe coming here.

Pausing for a second, I waited. It was dark in there…maybe they’re sleeping. Maybe ’It’ is sleeping. I don’t even know…Unless, I go on ahead and check. Out of curiosity, I decided to walk towards it. Without turning back, I kept walking. Quietly as I can, I approach the cabin silently. Don’t want anything to wake up or know that I’m here…so, I do my best to stay quiet.

The closer I got, the more nerve-racking it is for me to even be here. Damn! I feel like going to another direction and just ditch this stupid place. But, I can’t..what if it’s not safe out there?!! I don’t even think it’s safe to be anywhere!!!! Man!!! I just wanna go home!!!! But, I got to have a warm place to sleep at and to cook my food there..and to hide…But, see, this is the hard part. I have to first check it out. As I was heading towards the door; I knocked. I did it loud enough to where someone can hear me..but, not loud enough to wake the entire forest up. I am so, dead tired right now. I need some sleep, so therefore, I have to. No one answered. I knocked another time…still..nothing.

OK. Then, no ones here perhaps..but, it’s awfully lonely here..kind of scary…to be alone, too. But, yet, peaceful! I turned the knob to see if it was open..Yes!! Indeed it was! So, I turned the knob to open the door. I searched for the switch w/ my flash-light. There, I found it. The light was kind of dim ..yet it was OK. I can still see.

There, I found 1 room with one twin-sized bed. This cabin was made for singles. It looked like it hasn’t been touched. I layed on it…it was soft…but, firm.

As comfortable as it may sound..it didn’t so far. It felt kind of breezy in here…I checked to see if one the windows here was open. Found one that was cracked. I decided to close it shut. I heard another sound. Looks like somethings in here..or someone. I looked around …then, in the corner of my eyes…I’d seen a shadow. “Hello..” I said shakily, “…is anyone in here..?” I stood still for a second. I creeped towards the kitchen. Hesitantly, I rummage through quietly, and just ransacked the drawers slickly. I found a sharp-edged butcher knife. “That’s more like it!” I said to myself.

I waited…

Then, the light seemed to dim more..there, I seen the shadow..I could make out it’s figure..It’s human alright. ‘It’ didn’t move. Nor, made a sound. Creeped me out when ‘It’ was just standing there…watching me. Not making a single move, ‘It’ walked towards me…slowly. Shaking out of my wits..I couldn’t move..I felt as though I was stuck in a silent movie…but, in real life.

My heart was pounding…beating so rapidly, I tried gasping for breath!

It came closer…closer…..and finally, ‘It’ came to my ear…so, frightened, I shut my eyes tight! ‘It’ whispered to my ear. And, do you know what ‘It’ said???

(whispering into ear) “Hey…do you want to role-play..?”

I’m like, “What?” Confused…I took out my flash-light..I shined a light on this figure. ‘It’s’ my fiance. He followed me…He came to get back at me..hahahha…very funny. Yea…

“Ahh babe!!! Your here..alive!!!!!!!” I reached out and gave him a big squeeze!!

And, I thought he was dead.
