He ran through the midnight woods, or more like stumbled, holding his left eye and gasping.
You were also in the woods that night, just casually picking berries by the river, you heard the gasping and looked over your shoulder. Blood.
This unknown man... He had blood dripping down his left eye, his clothing tattered, his face dirty and disoriented.
"Help me..!" He gasped out and fell down onto you, unconscious due to his blood loss.
You decided to hurry and take the man home and help him, when your home and taking care of his wounds you notice his left eye was torn out. How brutal... But you put the horrifying thought aside for later and watched the sleeping man until he woke up.
And he did soon later. He gasped, his eye opened and he quickly sat up. "Where am I?! What happened?!." Poor man was confused and shocked.
