essay: a walk in woods
Answers
The wood was enormous. It was dark and it was cold and I needed to get
home and quickly. I had had the strangest feeling all day that I was
being followed, and due to past experiences I knew that these strange
feelings often resulted in something much more. I wiped the sweat from
my brow and desperately and frantically tried to find my way in the
darkness of the wood. The spring foliage was so thick I could barely
see ten metres in any direction but I knew that I had to venture on to
safety. The ground beneath me was soft from last night’s rainfall and
dragged on my feet almost gluing them in place.
A snapping of a twig was all it took to make me freeze. I turned
around frenetically searching for whoever or whatever was nearby, but
I could hardly see in the sparseness of light. Almost immediately
after, there was a sudden thunderous noise in the distance which
instantaneously made me sprint off deeper into the woods - still
urgently searching for the clearing.
