The forest, a tapestry of hues and dappled moonlight, beckoned him onward as he charged through its depths. The thud of his boots against the earth echoed like a primal drumbeat, a heartbeat that synchronized with the pulse of the wilderness around him.

I mapped the terrain in my mind, noting the safest paths, the potential ambush points, and the sources of water and prey.

Two men were walking along a dirt path just a few feet away. I pressed myself into the dirt, praying the shadows would hide me.

I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then in a flash, the forest was ignited with flames.
