I stood in the darkness of the woods. I could smell fresh earth and new rain. It was cold and the only light I had was moonlight. I was still in shock and I couldnt think. My knees were locked and I felt as if the whole world was spinning beneath me. I could feel my heart beating in my ears and hands. I had just run from the house to here, the middle of the forest.
