MasukBut then Melissa turned down a narrow path between two large, moss-covered boulders, and suddenly, out of nowhere, I didn’t recognize the forest at all.It was strange. Mere yards from here, I knew the forest well enough to traverse it with my eyes closed. Now, all of a sudden, it was like I’d never
