Life was appearing right before the man’s eyes without him even knowing it. It was dark and hard to see all the creatures lurking around the forest floor. He had no clue what to do and thought he was potentially going to die painfully. Some wolves surrounding him were about to make dinner out of the man’s muscular flesh with no sympathy. The alpha gets closer to get the first bite to make sure it is worth eating him until; an arrow was shot landing straight through the alphas soft fur and meat eating heart. There went the wolf, dead instantly while the other wolves had begun running away. The man turned quickly in the direction where he had thought the arrow was shot from until he finds no one around. Assuming that the man is not alone in these woods, he began running off to find shelter; hoping that the person who shot the arrow would be on his side and not kill him too. The man climbs up a thirteen foot tree and sits on one of the strongest branches on there to be able to hold all of his weight during the time of him sleeping within the rest of the night.
All through the time when the man was sleeping, he was dreaming how he had ended up in the forest to begin with. About two days ago he was just learning how to manage a night club for the community in Star-lock City, Oregon. It was a type of club that had a big dance floor and bar since it was in an old warehouse which was once owned by the man’s father. The man’s family was very wealthy, more like millionaires who owned massive companies and was the star of Star-Lock City. Everything was going alright, mostly according to plan. The man’s mother was a going into politics to run for mayor of the city; man’s sister was being a nineteen year old woman who just got her new luxurio...

...ter look at the man and there he saw her face. He was in aww because of her gorgeous long blonde hair and her bright blue eyes with her whitish tanned skin. She said to him “you don’t belong here, why have you come?” The man didn’t answer… “You should be thankful that I saved you when you came across the wolves back there…speak Oliver SPEAK!” “Okay, okay thank you your highness for saving my butt! But why not kill me now!? I’ve been stabbed by my own weapon so here is an opportunity for you!” says the man in fury, desperate of trying not to think about the pain. The woman answers back “because you are not worthy to be dead, you are my cousin.” The man looks back at the woman’s face for a second look, he didn’t recognize her before but now he knows he is in good hands. It was Florence, the cousin who was recalled to be dead about two years ago back at Star-lock City…

He ran quickly to her side and stared down at her belly, quite frightened to touch. There, lying beneath the woman's legs, was the body of a small, damp, pink animal, attached only by something that looked like a rope......”
Tiredly, I woke up the next morning with it still as dark as night (SM). Packing quickly, I made sandwiches to eat and headed out to the deer stand with my dad (PP). I like where we hunt because it’s an open field surrounded by tall pine trees and marshy land. It’s kind of a long hike to the stand from the road, so when I walked down the road to our stand I took small strides to muffle the crunchy leaves. I wanted to walk as silent as a mouse to increase my chance of that trophy buck, about halfway there I noticed a cool breeze flow down my back, this gave me the chills. My body wracked with exhaustion, because I hunted with a 300 win mag, so by the time we got to the stand my back
Leaving the village, he enters the forest which represents his subconscious that is infested with evil and sinister thoughts.

As the snow fell on the fire I had to think of something quick or I knew I would die here. The only option is to kill the dog. The dog was laying down and I picked up the knife and started second guessing myself. But I did it anyway the knife felt it was going down 1,000 miles per hour and I stabbed the dog in the throat. The dog lets out a big squeal I knew he was dead because it didn't make any more movements. I removed the knife from his throat and flipped him on his back. I then made a cut down the middle of his stomach I put my cold, numb hands in the bright red steamy guts. When I got the feeling back in my hands, I put some guts in my pockets so they can keep my hands warm for as long as they can and I started walking again. The warmness
In my tree stand I tried to sit as still, but being a ten year old sitting for that long is a trial. I can for some reason vividly remember how the leaves on some trees were a deep green and how the leaves on the quaking aspen, and sugar maples were bright yellow and orange. It was nearing six o'clock and my mind had wandered off into another world a long time ago, of a sudden a crack too my left startled me out of my day dreams, instantly alert I looked around but did not see anything due to the thick brush too my left. Slowly i stood up so if the chance came i could have the best shot possible. I waited for five minutes, then out of the corner of my eye i caught movement. A buck was just coming around the trees and up the trail. I waited patiently, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I let it go behind a small patch of trees so it wouldn't notice me when i drew my bow. I drew my bow shaking with buck fever, the buck walked into my shooting lane, I tried to calm my breathing and take aim, twack i released my arrow, by a miracle it seemed, my arrow hit the buck who took off running at full speed. I sat back in my stand, my whole body shaking. I waited about forty five minutes for the deer to bed down and die. I quickly booked it up too my dad's stand and told him i had gotten a deer. We changed out of our hunting clothes and grabbed
All of a sudden, the forest became quite. The wind picked up and blew him off his feet. When I looked up it wasn't the wind at all. It was a long snout coming straight at me. It wrapped me up with leave...
Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.
I awoke coughing spitting out the remnants of blood that has filled my mouth. As I coughed I saw something. I... saw something. I could see for the first time. I laughed at the weird situation. Am I in heaven? I found myself wondering. I watched myself sit up, and I pulled up the front of my shirt just far enough to see the spot where the tree had impaled me.
I looked up at the black sky. I hadn't intended to be out this late. The sun had set, and the empty road ahead had no streetlights. I knew I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours and days. The farther I traveled into the forest, the darker it seemed to get. I was very had to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening beat of my own heart, which felt as though it was about to come through my chest. I began to whistled to take my mind off the eerie noises I was hearing. In this kind of darkness I was in, it was hard for me to believe that I could be seeing these long finger shaped shadows that stretched out to me. I had this gut feeling as though something was following me, but I assured myself that I was the only one in the forest. At least I had hoped that I was.
