A Walk in the Forest Gone Wrong.
One night, I was walking through the woods, not a sound I could hear, following the path, with trees on one side and a flowing stream on the other. As the sound of the rushing water filled my ears, I felt at ease, it was all so peaceful. I could count at least 3 dozen trees whilst following the path. I could see some constellations peeking through the gaps in the trees. Through some gaps, the moonlight would shine down on me as if I was in the spotlight of a play. I would stop walking for a second, and bend over to look into the stream. I saw some little fish swimming in and out all of the nooks and crannies in the stream where the moonlight couldn’t reach. I stood back up, and continued on my way.
Whilst walking, I thought I could see some blue light coming from a hole in a tree, same with behind a few other trees and with the stream. I stop walking, and scan my surroundings, the blue light would grow bigger, and brighter, I cover my eyes, due to how bright the light was. Suddenly, a blue little creature which looked like it was made out of fire, with ribbon-like arms, floated out of the stream, staring at me with its little white eyes, which were barely noticeable. A few more appeared behind the trees, the ones inside the trees reaching out, with their ribbon-like claws, emitting that same bioluminescent glow which filled the forest in a few seconds, those same white eyes glaring at me, a chill ran down my spine. The creatures would all stare at me, not saying a word. Those eyes, they give me chills.
I take a step back, but as I turn around, there’s more behind me, with their fire-like, bioluminescent bodies and their ribbon-like claws. All floating either in the air, above the stream, or right in front of me.
The strange lantern-like creatures would turn, and float away, I felt enticed to follow them, so I
did, their same blue glow guiding me as somehow the moonlight had gone. I would continue to follow the beacons of light through the dark woods, completely gone from the path, instead, there was a mossy ground with some patches of mushrooms. After an hour, the creatures had stopped. They would move out the way, and I would step forward, I stare in front of me, and there was just a large body of water to stare at. I didn’t get it, where had they led me to? Why am I here? As I’m lost in thought, I feel a ribbon-like claw push me into the water. As I fall from the cliff, I scream as I impact the water, creating a splash. I sink down into the quiet, serene, peaceful sea. I struggle to keep my eyes open, and as I sunk, I blacked out.
