I hate the woods

I hate the woods

 

I hate it with all my heart

 

The scary stories they tell

 

I was always frightened by it

 

Never will I go to one again

 

Never

 

Not after that

 

Not after the incident

 

That scary time when my life felt like it was ending

 

The time when a harmless prank felt so real

 

The tree that swayed side to side

 

The pitch-black star-filled sky

 

The blood-curdling scream of horror 

 

Then silence

Not a sound not even the birds of the night made a sound

 

Anger and rage enveloped my senses

 

As a hard slap across the face

 

Silence

 

Once again we take a moment of silence

 

And final a small yet silent apology

 

It was very sheepish and nonchalant at the same time

 

As if nothing was wrong

 

Nothing was wrong...
