An eight year old me stands terrified with two other eight year old boys by my side in the village forest that we were once told not to go in. I, Tony and Jeff entered the spooky forest without realizing it while chasing a rabbit, we aren't terrified coz we're afraid of the spooky forest, we are actually terrified of the fact that we just realized that we were in it for too long and by now our parents must be scared and looking for us.
we have disobeyed two rules; not staying out late in the evening and not entering the forest and now our parents would scold us or even punish us.
While we're still thinking of what excuse to give when we get home, we Immediately came back to reality when we hear a strange sound from behind us.
Too scared to move but too curious to turn around. We looked at each other preparing ourselves for the worst as we gathered all courage and turn around slowly. To our utter bewilderment there's nothing behind us, even though we were very sure we heard someone or something behind us.
"Tony? tip? what just happened?" jeff asked cluelessly
" don't you see we're equally confused?" Tony retorted
While still trying to grasp what had just happened, something grabbed Tony into the thick bush to our left.
"aaahh help" Tony screamed
I and Jeff scared out of our wits, picked our feet to run trying to trace our way back home
