Ext. dark forest - night

A LONE WITCH calmly walks through the foggy forest. She passes over brush and fallen logs, never faltering in her steps. Crickets and other animals can be heard within the forest.

Whispers can be heard coming from somewhere… no, not somewhere… all around her!

The witch looks around for a moment but sees novody and nothing except the forest before her. She keeps walking but the whispers get louder and louder, as if the voices are inside her own head.

Her eyes dart around the forest, fear falls on her face.

Witch

(Quietly)

Leave me alone …

(Beat)

(Loud)

I said leave me ALONE!

All sounds stop, no voices, no animals, no footsteps… nothing but the wind in the trees.
