The large mouth opening, dripping blood on my tear-stained face. The moment before the mouth filled with teeth tore my face off, a loud cracking sound echoed through the forest. The creature blown off, head exploding in a burst of gore. I screamed more when a powerful hand grabbed my shoulder to drag me to my feet.
Stay out of the Woods. I’ll never forget the day I rolled down my parents dusty gravel driveway, beat up truck packed to the gills and heading towards my new home, my new life. My parents stood on the porch and watched me go, the cows in the pasture also watched lazily as I past. I would dearly miss my green pastures, the beautiful pond and Nmfhv.
