8:46PM at night, I'm at the store getting food for my wife and children. After I buy everything I head to my car. The car screams as I start the engine, and I take off back to the house, but as I'm driving I get a call from my wife. I pick up the phone and answer. "Henry, our son, his fever has gotten worse and... c-could you please hurry back? It's.. very stressful for me doing this by myself" I reply with, "It still hasn't gone down? Well alright then, I'll try to get there as soon as possible, hang in there." This is bad, are son's fever has been like this since 2 days ago, like torture for my son. I drive faster through the woods hoping I'll get there in time. The night is silent and I keep driving, the wind whistles in my ear. But as I'm driving, something happens, it's silent. But suddenly, out of nowhere, something large lands on the front window of my car. CRASH! The window is in pieces and is broken. I can't see, it's blocking my view, it's moving, it's alive. I panicked and scream trying to shake this thing off my car. But that might have been a bad choice. I crash into a tree, I'm hurt, I'm bleeding. I pass, out its silent again, no noise. After the car hugged the tree the "thing" goes away into the forest. It's silent... I wake up after who knows how long. But, something feels missing. I get out of the car, I look around.. I don't know where I am, all I see is trees surrounding me. And then, I feel a sting in my.. arm? My... arm? At this moment I realized what was missing. It's gone.. my entire left arm is gone! I can't think straight, I'm panicking too much, I reach for the first aid kit and take care of my arm. I then look for my phone to call the police but, it's crushed. It's crushed to tiny pieces from that crash. Even all the food I bought is gone. Why... did this happen, why? It's still night and the stars look at me, I'm lost, my left arm is gone, my wife is taking care of our sick son, no food, can't see well, too dark, alone. These thoughts kept running through my mind over and over. It would be a good idea to try to climb up one of the trees but, I don't think I can with only one arm. Besides, I'm not really that strong at all to climb things. I take the first aid kit with me and start running through the forest, hoping I'll be able to find my way back home. I try not to trip over any plants or roots while running. The wind howls through the forest. Then, I hear a loud pitched screech in the distance. I stop, the sound draws closer, and closer to me. I see a black figure heading towards my direction that I can describe as a humanlike creature, but really skinny with these long fingers, and deformed arms with holes. My heart stops for a second, I start running the other direction away from it, it's gaining on me, it's screaming, louder, louder, louder... I head to the right hoping I can somehow make it lose track of me. I keep running, turn right, then left, keep going forward for awhile, left, right, right, stop. I hide behind a tree praying I'll see my family again. The creature slows down, it decides which way to go. I stay silent hoping it won't come this way. It feels as if the trees are staring right at me, the stars winking at me. It was like a bad dream, except it's really happening this time. Before I knew it, the creature was gone. I start breathing properly again, my blood pressure goes down. I get up, and walk slowly so it doesn't hear me and comes back. I find a large branch, I could use this as a weapon to defend myself if I ever run into that thing again, but it would be hard to attack with just one arm. I hold the first aid kit with my mouth and pick up the branch. It's kinda heavy but not too heavy, so I should be able to deal with it. I keep heading forward through the woods, for hours, and hours. I'm extremely tired and exhausted, and the sun has risen. I decide to take a break and relax for a bit. I'm starving, I need food, I'm hungry, need.. to eat... something.. anything. Then I realize something, something in the distance. It's a, cabin? I get up and run over to it, maybe they have food, or water, supplies, anything useful! As I reach the cabin I knock on the door in case someone is there, though the chances of that are low due to that creature. No response... I decide to go into the cabin, but to my surprise, when I opened the door, the sight I saw, was what I was looking for, but at the same time it wasn't. It was everywhere on the floor, just.. a large amount of, death. There were corpses of torn apart animals and, even people, everywhere. Had that creature done "this", all by itself?! My stomach growled, I have no choice, I.. have to eat! Consume, devour their flesh, regain my strength! I go to one of the animals corpses, and I begin to feast. I never thought I'd have to do something as disgusting as this. If I ever get hungry again I should come come back here if necessary. After my feast I take my first aid kit and my weapon and leave the cabin. As I'm walking through the forest I encounter a butterfly. Somehow, it makes me feel relaxed, and calm. Like it's telling me everything will be ok. As it flew away I kept walking, and walking for hours again. How big is this forest anyway? And what other dark secrets remain in this forest? It's getting dark again, I can't see well. I decide to go to the left and see if I can find anything. I suddenly hear a weird noise above me, it's in the leaves of the tree, hiding, waiting. It has to be that creature, I grip onto my branch tightly, getting ready to strike. I'm ready for what's about to happen. A few seconds pass, it's silent, it hasn't attacked yet. Suddenly from the upper right it jumps at me from the tree, it slashes it's claws at me, piercing through the right side of my back, I'm bleeding, it hurts. I scream in pain loud as a beasts roar. I look at the creature and I attack! The branch goes through one of the creatures eyes, it let's out a high pitched screech. It pulls out the branch taking it out of my hand and throws it away. It stares at me in pain, it's angry at me now. I run for my life as the beast chases me. It's jumping from tree to tree trying to attack me. I try to make it lose me again, but it's too fast! It attacks and slashes through one of my legs and rips it off. I can't move anymore, I'm going to die, I try crawling away but it's not going to help. It jumps on top of me pinning me down, smiling at me. It gently pushed it claws against my back, making my skin tear apart easily. I scream at the top of my lungs, crying in pain. I'm sorry honey, I won't be able to return. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please god help, son don't die, live, live, survive. The creature is pleased and is enjoying torturing me, watching me scream in pain, it takes a bite of my shoulder and eats a little bit of my flesh, but before it could continue eating I hear a voice in the distance, and see about 5 shining lights. "FIRE!" a voice comes from one of the lights. Then, I hear gunshots, they're shooting at the creature. Who are they, Is it the, police? A search team? The creature runs into the forest.  "Get him out of here! You two, go chase down whatever the hell that thing was! Go!" Two of them chase after the creature, The others help me get up and take me out of the forest. "You're name, it's Henry correct? You're wife has been waiting for you to return but you've been gone for awhile and she sent a search team to go search for you. Do you mind telling us what happened exactly?" I then reply with, "My car, something fell on the front window, that creature and, and crashed into the forest and was lost." "I see, we'll get in contact with your wife and tell her what happened, sir just hang in there, we're taking you to a hospital right away" They then took me to an ambulance and get taken to the hospital. They tend my injuries and take care of my leg. A few days pass, I'm still at the hospital. A nurse comes in and tells me, "Henry, you have a visitor" as I look to see who's visiting me, I see that it's my wife. "Henry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry you had to go through that.." she says as she starts crying. I say, "Oh, hey honey, haha.. it's fine, I'm ok, don't worry, I'll get out of here in a few more days and I'll be with you and our son again." She stays silent for awhile, "..I don't think you can... he's... our baby is... dead, the fever wouldn't stop, it got out of control.. I'm sorry." She looks down crying, feeling guilty. I stand there shocked at what I just heard, "w-what? No... that can't be true.. no... please god.. no!" We both felt guilty and just cried there, my son has died and I was gone while it happened. This certainly is, a "tragedy".
