Leaves cracked and crumbled underneath my feet as I trudged through the forest of tall oaks and pines that I hadn't seen since my days at Bloodwood Academy. Since I had run through these trees... these exact damn trees.

Crap.

Trees continued to speed past me, even as I pulled to a stop. The sound of my heart mixed with the crunching of leaves as I no longer moved.

I was dreaming. Dreaming of running through a forest I hadn't been to in weeks. Of course I was dreaming. The first time I'm able to sleep in days and I'm trapped in the forest of the school that I had accidentally helped burn down.

Leaves crunched under foot with each step, worms and crawly creatures wiggling between my bare toes as I moved to crunch them. Everything was so still I could hear them move through the dirt, the sound of suction and rot blending with the distant call of birds that I hoped didn't exist in the real world. With its long, echoing shriek and the way it twisted my nerves the call of the bird belonged in a horror movie.

Which I really wished this wasn't.

Dim light seeped through the high canopy of trees, beams of light flickering as I sped forward, everything moving in fast forward as I raced back. I weaved through trees and brush until I pulled to a stop right beside a large moss-covered tree. The world wobbled as the trees swayed in a non-existent wind, everything spinning as I clutched the tree. Clutched the moss that was no longer moss.

My hand slid against it, sliding over the bark and the heavy layer of this green slime that covered it.

The same slime from the butcher shop. It smelled the same, like sweet rot and dirt. It felt the same too, and I slipped on it the same. My hand slid off the trunk and sent me staggering forward, through the tree, and into a dense fog. Twirls and twists of dense white hung clung to the air, clogging the world and taking all of the trees away, pushing in on me. Suffocating the air and sucking up the oxygen.

My ears buzzed with the nothingness of the fog, the haunted bird giving one last chime before it too was swallowed by the oppressive vapor. Vapor that shifted and broke as I stepped forward in search of trees or forest... or escape.

All of that was gone.

Then everything changed, morphed before my eyes with a groan as the forest stretched and shifted into something else.

I’d tumbled down a hole into a nightmare.

The trees were gone, replaced by steel rods that stuck up from the ground like horrific daisies, each one ending in a hook.

A hook that was a little too red.

A hook that dripped that red all over the floor that was no longer made of dirt and leaves and crawling beasts. The floor pulsed in a shade of the deepest scarlet, pulsed with blood that ran through veins and arteries, that weaved through the ground like a giant web.
