"Where am I?" That was the first thing I asked myself after waking up to the smell of fresh grass and the moistness of morning dew. The truth is, I don't know where I am. I was laying in the middle of a small clearing with trees towering all around. My apartment isn't near any forests, the closest one being a good few hours drive away, so I cant be close to home. Feeling a surge of panic pass through me, I got to my feet and plunged my hands into my pocket to make sure that I had any of my belongings. I pulled out my keys, SmartPhone and wallet.

Instead of being the lush green that you'd find on a normal tree in a forest, these trees had a sickly dark green color on the leaves. The branches were short and jagged. It looked more like a swamp than a forest. A few minutes of walking in between trees
