venus, your local forest spirit

the road shouldn’t be this long should it? did you get turned around again?

a light from the woods catches your eye.

you walk towards it, your feet moving apart from what you consciously chose to do. a twig snaps behind you. (don’t look behind you)

when did you start walking on asphalt again?

you’ve been walking for hours.

this road cannot be this long.

now that you think about it you don’t even know what road you’re on. or where you began your journey.

all you can remember is walking this stretch of road.

you see a light in the woods.

the sun begins to set.

you’ve been walking for hours.

it’s dark now. you see a light in the distance.

you walk faster. it gets no closer.

you’ve been walking for hours.

how many footsteps should one person make? (don’t look behind you)

has there always been an echo on this road?

you’ve been walking for hours.

the sun should be rising. it isn’t.

you’ve been walking for hours.

why are your footsteps so loud? (don’t look behind you)

you’ve been walking for hours. (don’t look behind you)

a light in the woods. (don’t look behind you) you follow the light.
