Lurid Forest

You know that moment when everything clicks, and you realize you've made a horrible decision? Yeah, that was me, smack in the middle of a forest that seemed to have a vendetta against anyone with the audacity to breathe. What started as an innocent investigation—a couple of weird sightings, a few local legends—has spiraled into something I can't even begin to explain. And trust me, I'm no stranger to weird. I've spent my entire life chasing answers, unearthing secrets that everyone else is too scared to touch. But this time? This time, I might've bitten off more than I can chew. There's something lurking out here, something ancient and ruthless, with eyes like burning embers and a knack for turning survival into a very personal game. And then there's Ethan—stoic, maddening, and way too good at disappearing into the shadows. He says he's here to help, but every time he looks at me, I feel like he's peeling back layers I'd rather keep hidden. The truth? I'm not sure if he's my partner or my biggest mistake. All I know is, this forest has teeth, and if I want to make it out alive, I'll have to figure out what's hunting us before it's too late. What's the worst that could happen? Don't answer that.
