Everything was so confusing, the thoughts kept swirling in my head. How did I get here? What happened to me? I couldn’t see anyone I knew. In fact, I couldn’t see anyone at all. What was this place? I couldn’t see a way out. I was completely surrounded by trees and the ground was covered in huge ferns that almost reached my waist. Everywhere I looked my eyes were met by various shades of green and I could feel my pulse starting to quicken. I spun around again and again, but nothing new appeared. Even though a part of my mind was telling me that this might simply be a bad dream, my breathing was rapidly increasing as my feelings of being lost forever started to consume me. I didn’t understand what I was doing in this particular place, nor did I have any idea how to get away from there. If this really was a dream I was bound to wake up and get back to reality fairly soon, but for the time being this nature hell was my reality. And it was terrifying.
What was the author function here - I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere..?
ReplyDeleteI like the text, though - a good snapshot of a confused mind and senses...
Nice piece of work - it could be the beginning (or middle)of a short story or novella. I want to know where the main character is!
