Aldrich Park, Minnesota

Silence. That was all I heard. Complete silence. I know he's there though, silently watching me.

My flashlight was dropped in the mud puddle 10 feet away from me, it was too late to go back.

All hope was lost, I should have just waited there for my untimely death to come.

"No"

A small voice said. My conscience. I stopped sobbing and unsuccessfully tried to stand up. Those trees

scratched me up real good. I limped in one direction, hoping to get out of this hell hole. By this time, he

should have found me. He's just playing with me though, a little game of cat and mouse. I let out a small

moan.

Big mistake. A few feet away, I could hear moist slithering. He knew the game was over, that I lost.

Now he's coming to claim his prize. I was limping faster now, each step caused great pain.

It was like walking on knives. Up ahead I could see the barbed fence. I guess I could climb it.

It was only a few feet away now. The leaves behind me were rustling now, and I got into a coughing fit.

Just that moment, my pant leg got caught into a bramble bush and I fell on my face. Great timing! Of course,

there had to be a freaking bramble bush. I knew I couldn't keep this game up anymore.

I felt something moist wrap around my foot. It slowly continued to crawl up my leg, then on my torso.

More of them wrapped around me. The next thing I knew I was being flipped over. I was facing the sky now.

Oh what pretty stars, I have only noticed how beautiful they are now that I'm about to die.

Slowly, a man's figure was emanating from the fog from the forest. The silhouette got closer and closer.

I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for fate. I heard muddy footsteps getting louder and louder. I felt his warm hand getting closer to my face.

He placed his index finger on my lips.

"Calm down, Therese."
