I sprinted through the forest,
Tok-
Tok-
Each step pounding like a war drum in the stifling silence.
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!
The cursed land clawed at my senses, its unseen threads coiling around the edges of my mind.
Whispers-
Fragmented and malicious, they scratched at the walls of my sanity.
But...,
Tok-
Tok-
I pressed on.
And,
Tok-
Tok-
The farther I ran, the clearer it became.
Tok-
Tok-
I could feel it.
Tok-
Tok-
Sense it.
Tok-
Tok-
See it, even.
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!
My heartbeat accelerated.
It wrapped, coiled and twisted around the edges of my mind in ways that defied mortal comprehension.
My hands trembled and my legs soon joined in the fray.
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!
Invisible strings- the ethereal threads of hope- writhled and danced across my mind in ways I would have doubted possible.
Tok-
Tok-
My icy blue eyes pierced through the suffocating darkness, cutting through the abysmal-like shadows pooling in the atmosphere,
Ba-dump!
The air.
