Trees

It looks like the perfect day for a walk in the woods.


Try not to wander too far. How easy it is to get confused.


Wasn’t this the path you took before?
The colors don't seem quite right.


Limbs point in all directions – no help here.


Chalky fingers wave you on – Come along, this way.
Something rustles behind you. You turn around but nothing’s there.


You feel something tickle behind your ear – a stray strand of hair?


Close to your foot a spider darts out from under a leaf, reconsiders, and slips back into hiding.


The air smells of ashes and clay.


Try to remember. Were you heading east or west?


Overhead a woodpecker tests the bark of the tree– tap, tap, tap - and then hurries off. Maybe he knows the way?


At last, a tiny window.


You know this place!
