There are voices I hear coming from the forest.

 

I was told that it was impossible. Nothing lives in the forest besides animals. Plus, everyone knows that entering the forest is forbidden. The King had declared that many years ago. The last person seen going into the forest was never seen again. That was five years ago. 

 

They said there was a reason for the fifteen foot concrete wall surrounding it. Even birds stayed clear of the area.

 

However, I couldn’t deny that something within it was calling me.

 

Telling me to go into the forest.

 

“(Name).”

 

It took everything I had to tear my gaze away from those concrete walls. 

 

“Yeah?”

 

The frown on my friend’s face said everything. 

 

She didn’t believe me.
