I pushed my way through the sharp touch of the long, crooked fingers that hung on the trees. Everywhere I turned, it seemed that the cold feeling followed, and there was no escape; I could sense it.
“Come to us!” The voice whispered. The chilly, night air paralyzed my lungs, making the run impossible. I had to get out of the woods, I couldn’t look back.
I could feel the hairs on my neck prickle, and stand on end. Before I could realize what was happening, the tip of my sneaker caught the edge of a fallen tree, and sent my flying over.
I landed on soft, muddy earth that made my ears ring. They were getting closer, I could feel it. A chill wavered its way through my body, and I lay there. Wondering what would happen next, the world went black, allowing me to wake in a cold sweat. My head pulsed in my skull, I knew what it meant. It was a sign, a deadly sign that meant there was no escape.
A sign that meant they were coming back for my family.
