    it’s nearly midnight as you walk down the quiet street, and listen to frogs and owls in the dark atmosphere. At the edge of town, there’s a forest. Everyone says not to go in, saying that “once you go in, you never come out.” You always found that ridiculous, I mean, it’s not like there’s a monster in there, right?

    while walking, you hear something. Maybe a fall, then silence. You stand still, trying to gauge where the noise is coming from, but can’t since the sounds stopped.
