The Woods – No Way Out

You are on your way to get some food and resources in the near forest of Koog. Things are going correctly when suddenly you feel like someone is watching you. You look around but you don’t see anything. Eventually the fear is too big to continue. You just throw everything in the floor and start running. The trees are interminable and you don’t see the exit, it seems you are running actually in the opposite direction as you came. More and more trees make the woods more and more dense. The sun is scarcely possible to see and what it’s worse the sunset is starting. You keep running, trying to avoid trees, go up hills and down, and jumping obstacles. It’s in this moment when you hear it. The voice of a woman is carried by the wind, but no trace of the source is available to you.

In the same way the voice came it dissappeared and you need to run again. Running, keep running, unconsciously you go to the direction of the voice. After some seconds, that for you seemed like hours, you find yourself in an open space where, as the Moon Light penetrates through the less dense amount of trees, a woman can be seen sitting on a rock. She sees you and the moment your eyes intercept each other a strange feeling invades you, a sense of calmness after the run. She tries to tell you something but you don’t understand her words. It seems that she starts to float towards you but her siloutte its more and more diluted in the air. In the moment she tries to touch you, she is not there anymore.

The feeling of calmness is overwhelmed directly by the sensation of being a prey. Running. Escape. There is something following you and there is no way out.
