Damp Darkness

It all started very calm and my intentions were humble. I had gone into the woods you see to pick some berries and maybe get some good photos of the wild life. It was mid-day and I was almost done when I lost my phone. Running around the woods trying find my phone I tripped and fell forward into some sticks. It was so painful and confusing, I realized I also had now lost my berries along with my camera. But at least there was one good thing, I had found my phone?

I pushed my body off the ground and then suddenly the earth below me collapsed. Stuck in this pit full of branches I panicked fearing the day light dispersing, being lost and being stuck here with no supply. I’m not some wilderness explorer! I like nature photos and the food that it creates but that’s as much as I’ll take.

As I wandered around this deep yet thin pit I looks in the shadows behind a branch and saw a tunnel, a very small tunnel, but somethings better than nothing, so I scraped my way through this narrow tunnel to not see a darkness but to see a glow. I fell out the end into a room of sorts, it had blueish blackish tones wallpaper along with some friggin creepy furniture. I stood still for a second and then it occurred to me, why the frick was a house attached to a tunnel in the woods. I decided to have a look around in this dark silent house.

My feet made the floor below creek adding this paranoia to my thoughts. I already felt uneasy and on top of that I just heard another creek, and a loud one, but this time I wasn’t walking.

I ran for a window in attempt to jump out, but as I did I felt odd. My body suddenly lost control of itself and I could feel my feet lift off the ground. I began screaming, I’ve never felt such a feeling in my life. It felt like I was being controlled, like I was stuck, yet it also felt sort of free, and un earthly as I was in the air. I then fell to the ground with a thud. With bruises on face I stood up and looked all around in shock and fear. I than saw my chance and leaped toward the window without a second thought, shattering the glass and fainting as I hit the ground on the outside.

As I woke up I had remembered everything so clearly continued to run. Not a second later I heard shrieking and ear bursting noises shattering every window on this big dark house. But because me being the anxious girl I am I blacked out.


I awoke to birds chirping. I was in my bed at home, was that all a dream? I lifted the news paper and the heading read “screaming noises spotted in the woods”...
