I sprinted past dark trees leaving a trailing shadow on the forest ground.  A gnarled tree branch twisted with age sweaped me off my feet leaving on the dirty ground trying to catch my breath.  I saw another shadow lurking behind me.  I tried to scream but nothing came out.   Just warm breath.  A howl came from the distant mountains making a chilling finger slide through my spine.  Even more frightened, I got up and ran through dead bushes and around thick grey boulders.  Then I came across a willow tree.  It's dreamy branches blowing with the wind.   For a moment I felt at peace by its romantic dancing sways.  Another howl shreiked and echoed through the forest.  Now I had to keep going.   So again I ran thinking , pondering for answers.   But there was no answer for me.  There couldn't possibly be, and there never would be.
