We were playing hide-and-seek, but it was no longer fun after a while, I got too far away trying to find them.
While I take a look I begin to understand that I am much farther than I originally thought, I am surrounded by a bushy forest, the trees rise to the sky and everything is swollen by full silence. I can hear the leaves fall and cause the scratching of dust and dried grass,no sign of footsteps or any kind of thing that would show me someone was here before me.
As I walk carefully straight into the forest I could feel my bones going cold and my hair staying up, something it's out of the place, the  feeling of pure fear had returned, I stopped immediately, but I did not dare to look behind while I heard the ruffle of the forest and unsure steps near. My heart tightens while my mind goes in circles thinking about what should I do, but my blood boils and I feel how my body screams at me to run away as fast as I can because it's not safe anymore to stay and think.
I can feel how awful my starved lungs consume the oxygen, it gets heavy inside me, meanwhile a headache makes me dizzy but still let me observe the situation I am in, nowhere to go or no idea of how to get back home... warning signs in my head hurts and I almost drown in them but a new thought hit my brain... what if I won't run away, what's going to happen? and anyway, why I want to run? I want to know what's behind me after all, curiosity killed the cat.
That's when I saw a face, a woman without a mouth telling me: you should probably leave.
I can't comprehend how I understand her as my legs drive me back at the tree where the game started...
