    You were walking through your favorite forest, which has already begun to prepare for autumn. You admired the beauty of nature, watching the yellowish leaves fall from the trees. A stream gurgled nearby, birds sang, and small insects buzzed in the air. Everything seemed perfect until suddenly you felt like someone grabbed your hands and pressed a handkerchief with something inside to your mouth and nose. You tried to pull away, but to no avail: the grip was so strong that you couldn't even move your arms. You soon drifted off to sleep.

    You only woke up after a while. Opening your eyes and lifting your head, you saw four people who clearly did not come here of their own free will. A man in his forties or fifties, a woman of the same age, a grandmother, and a young man who was about twenty. Grandma looked as if she had already left this world: her pale body was leaning lifelessly on an armchair, and there was not a spark of life in her eyes. She was sitting in a wheelchair with her head thrown back, her eyes wide open, and her mouth full of flies.

    Looking around, you noticed that there were human organs on the table, not the first freshness, covered with rot, flies and mold. Looking up, you saw a young man laughing at you and continuing to throw food (although it could hardly be called food). He was wearing a greenish hoodie with a small yellow "LCS" lettering on the right side. His hair was very short, almost missing, and there were reddened bags under his eyes, making him look even more sinister. There was a smile on his face, full of crooked teeth. Suddenly, he exclaimed:

    "Come on, eat, or you'll starve to death!"

    After saying that, he laughed even louder.
