Story Branch
I
looked
at
the
pristine
wooden
house
in
front
of
me
and
then
looked
back
at
the
dense
forest
behind
me.
The
narrow
path
I
had
just
walked
seemed
to
disappear
into
the
shadows
of
the
towering
trees,
as
if
the
woods
were
trying
to
swallow
it
whole.
It
was
an
eerie
contrast
to
the
welcoming
sight
of
the
