The Forest

Chapter 0


It was 2001. I was 11 and I decided I wanted to make some new friends. So kid me thought sending a letter was the best way of doing that. Looking back the letter looked so sketchy.


*********************************************************************************************************


“HI i’m going to be sending this to a random person and that person is you!”

“I'm going to be at the central forest park at 3:30 everyday and wait about an hour so if i miss you just come the next day. if you don't want to do this please pass this letter to another random person.”


*********************************************************************************************************


“Ugh it's been WEEKS and no one has come, maybe I should just leave.” I said out loud while getting up when out of the corner of my eye I saw someone peeking from the trees “hello?” “is anyone there?” I turned and turned until I got dizzy but I couldn't find them. “I'm just wasting my time with this.” I started to walk back to my house when I saw someone on the path facing me. “Hello?” I yelled very confused. But just like that they ran away. “Ok this is getting creepy.” I thought to myself “I need to get home as fast as I can.” I started to run as fast as my little legs would carry me but something grabbed my legs from behind. It flipped me over so my face was on the ground and it started to drag me back across the grass. I started to kick and scream hoping that someone would come help me but whatever was dragging me let go and seemed to start covering their ears. I began to run as fast as I could back home. I looked back to see if the thing was chasing me but it seemed to be gone. When I looked back in front of me I started to slow down feeling all my energy drain out of me. I had to sit down to catch my breath. I was there huffing a puffing trying my best to gain all that energy back. Finally I sat up and started to run to my house. When I got to the house I looked around and thought I saw the same thing that dragged me. I busted the door open in a panic and it seemed to startle my dad because he came running at the door. I told my dad all about what had happened and he immediately called the cops. When he was done he told me that the person on the other line said they couldn't do much but make a file for it. They'd have my phone call on it saying if anything else happened they would investigate. So right there I said I would never ever, Ever go back to that forest.


Until…
