With reluctance friends enter the unexplored woods immediately Mosquitoes try infiltrating their hoods They suddenly become spooked by an eerie sound as other airborne pest begin to swarm around
They commence to machete through dense brush moving cautiously determined to stay hush Group huddles closer while forwarding deeper faces depict fear of alerting a Predacious sleeper
Body parts bleed from prickly scratches shedded skins lay visible in patches Ominous echoes permeate their ears eyes opened wide reflect hidden fears
They turn to one another uttering not a peep realizing they may have ventured too deep They seem paralyzed about what to do adrenaline gives fight to continue through
Each stare at one another with thoughts the same let's fall back to entrance from which we came They all scurry as their hearts intensely pound after exit exhaustion drops them to the ground
