Legend has it that the Dead Forest is one of the most ancient and undiscovered places on the planet. As a very brave adventurer, I found myself strolling through a dense, silent forest in the diabolical hour of midnight, the air thick with the fresh scent of damp earth and pine. My steps were steady, and the soft crunch of dead leaves underfoot was the only sound breaking the creepy silence.

    But as I wandered deeper, my foot caught on a jagged rock hidden beneath the undergrowth. The sharp obstruction sent me tumbling forward, crashing into another place. I stood up, trying to identify the place. I was stunned for a while. I had truly discovered the Dead Forest. 

I was overjoyed, my eyes widening as I pulled out my camera. I began clicking shot after shot, capturing the place.

    The photos developed, and the result was eerie. They contained several tree monsters, waving at the camera with faces twisted in ugly scowls. I looked around and saw a bunch of trees frozen motionless in place. Wait, what's so scary about trees? That's when all the trouble began. Suddenly, the ancient, prehistoric trees slowly flickered to life. Their massive roots pulled free from the soil, and towering, gnarled trees that I had never seen before surrounded me, trapping me in a very tight circle. Their twisted branches reached for me like long, bony fingers. The atmosphere suddenly felt colder and darker, as if the very place was waiting for something... or someone.
