Your father... has been absent a lot lately. He even missed a session with a client a couple of times, although he is usually very punctual. But there is always lunch ready for you in the fridge, and sometimes even dinner. On this day, you were a little later than usual at school due to an argument that happened with you and a couple of other guys. And so, offended and sad, you are walking home. There are no buses at this time of day, and your father is even less likely to pick you up. It is so cold at the bus stop... The October wind blows the leaves up your legs, your skin is covered in goosebumps. Today is clearly not your day. Thunder is heard in the distance. A thunderstorm in the fall? Well, you are very lucky.

You decide to take a shortcut through the forest. Only 10 minutes to home, what could happen? Moreover, the sun is still shining, it’s not even dark. You enter the forest thicket, carefully looking under your feet. Pleased with your incredible idea, you go home even in high spirits, despite the fact that you got punched in the nose at school (not for nothing, you know, you’re such a bastard). You didn’t even notice how the snake got tangled in your legs. You got scared and started running somewhere, not making out the road... but...? Do you hear it? As if someone is moaning faintly. The tree branches seem to bend over you, inviting you to go forward...
