Scary Story

I looked up at the black sky. I hadn't intended to be out this

late. The sun had set, and the empty road ahead had no
streetlights. I knew I was in for a dark journey home. I had
decided that by traveling through the forest would be the
quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours
and days. The farther I travelled into the forest, the darker it
seemed to get. I was very had to even take a breath due to the
stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening
beat of my own heart, which felt as though it was about to
come through my chest. I began to whistle to take my mind off
the eerie noises I was hearing.
