#WritcoStoryPrompt2
A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush


Sarah's pulse raced in panic as the damp leaf landed on her shoulder. The woodland was deep, and the rustling leaves exacerbated her nervousness. Peering through the leaves, she shifted from her hiding spot behind the bush, unsure of what had disturbed her sanctuary.

A faraway howl rang through the woods, causing shivers down her spine. Sarah knew she couldn't remain concealed for long. The declining light threw unsettling shadows, and the approaching darkness foreshadowed unknown threats. She navigated into the underbrush, clutching her soaking jacket and taking each step carefully.

Raindrops fell from the leaves, adding to the suspense. Suddenly, a twig cracked behind her. Sarah froze. Her breath froze in her throat as she struggled to pinpoint the cause. The woodland appeared alive with unseen. Every action she makes is being watched.

Sarah accelerated her pace, motivated by a combination of fear and resolve. The way ahead was unknown, but she couldn't afford to wait. As she descended farther into the unknown, the damp ground beneath her boots mimicked the beat of her beating heart. The forest's mystique surrounded her, leaving unanswered the question of what lurked in its shadows.
