"Shall we explore further?" Damian nodded and they started walking around again.

Again, it was nothing special; park benches here, lampposts there, a few small playgrounds for children, everything they knew to be in a typical park. Just like Devon, though, they noticed the grey tint of everything. The benches were a dark grey. The lights shined bright white, even though it was still midday. Even...

“I told you that we should have listened to the park ranger,” Ethan yelled at his friend, Dan. “He said that we needed two gallons of water.”

“Shut up,” Dan yelled back. “I used the regular amount of water I have used for my five years of hiking. Besides, forests aren’t supposed to be this hot.

“This place is a desert.”

Both Ethan and Dan wore their hiking gear as they traveled the forest. The le...

“this was fun,” I tell him, smiling wide as I gaze in those big brown eyes I’ve known for years, leaning into a railing bordering the trail. he’s my bestie—we’re not necessarily that close but we’re chill, you know?

he agrees, “yes it was. we should do this more often.”

we had gone for a walk in the park since finals were coming up and we both needed a break from studying. it was a nice vacatio...

Maria and Emma walk into the park, the wind eerily quiet, despite the park being filled with voices of children, the sounds of parents getting onto said children, the barking of dogs, and the chirping of birds, to them, none of it is there, it's like they can't hear anything. why is that?

they continue walking until they find a secluded area in the park, its empty, perfect.

Maria sits down, wanti...

— “You’re insane!” I said, “we can leave whenever we want!”

— He gave me a look, the same look I’d give my parents when telling them that Mr. Jones tried to get to close, “Mar… We can’t.”

— “tch,” I stood up and walked to the entrance of the park. I tried pushing open the gate, but I whipped my hand back, it was hot as a stove, “The hell?”

— “Yeah. Hey maybe we could finish our game of truth or da...

We can’t leave

Until the sun sets

On the rest

Due to the test

Of time

That’s mine

Be kind

Never mind

In time

You’ll see

That e can

Leave...

Trapped, stuck, locked in. No way to escape this park. We are trapped here forever. There’s nothing left to try. My best friend and I were stuck in a park like sitting ducks.

We thought we were going to be there forever, until we saw something in the distance. It didn’t look human so we started to panic. It was coming right for us…...

Two friends leave the park

Two friends in the park, as daylight waned,

Laughter and echoes, their joy unchained.

But as shadows thickened, roots held fast,

The park whispered secrets from ages past.

They tried to run, feet heavy with dread,

Branches reached out, as if the trees bled.

“Stay,” hissed the wind, with a voice not its own,

Eyes met, a tremble, a hidden tear,
