The forest adventure

Mountain vacations have always been one of my favorite weekend activities

since they are one of the most calming and restorative. One day, while wandering
in the forest with my friends, we were thrown in an unexpected scenario.

It was a late August evening when my friends and I decided to walk into the
forest and explore it; we thought it was a crazy adventure and didn't think anything
bad could happen. The forest was massive, with dark tree trunks, clusters of
shrubs, and towering shaded pines extending up like arrows into the sky. As
darkness fell, I could see patchy sky and stars glimpsed in glimpses through tree
breaks, as well as a lot of weird shadows. I could also hear the wind rustling
through the leaves and groaning tree trunks, and a chill ran through my bones.

Suddenly, we began to hear a variety of noises, including owls and other

woodland creatures, which terrified us. No sooner had we got panicked than we
started looking for a route back to the cottage. Such was the darkness in the forest
that we couldn’t manage to find the road to get back . I began to worry because I
was frightened a bear might come and harm us. When we heard the rumble of a
bear, one of my friends had barely managed to make his way back. We started
sprinting like there was no tomorrow as soon as we heard the sound.

Only when we were safe did we understand how much risk we had put
ourselves in. It was an exciting trip, but it was also horrifying, and I don't want to
go through it again.
