Forest

The light was blinding, painful even as it pierced my eyes.  When I left it was daylight, and I traveled on foot through the mountain with nothing but water, a tent, some rations  matches and the clothes on my back.  It was hard to keep footing on the rocky terrain, so I decided to set up camp and build a small fire to keep warm as day settled into dusk. The primal sounds of the forest both frightened and enticed me as day turned into night. When I awoke,  I had gone a bit off course and was not precisely aware of my location.  The direction of the morning sun's ray's threw me off even further.  I just knew I needed to forge ahead, quickly before I was found.  What awaited me outside this forest put me in much graver danger than what lied within.
