Running through the forest in the night is even scarier than it sounds. Trees are a neverending maze of terror. Just a single leaf falling onto the ground sounds like a scream.

I looked at my reflection in the river like a mirror, my makeup was running faster than I was.

I cried out as the life had left his face. He swung up and WOOSH....
