THE GIRL IN THE WOODS

JELILAT_AKANDE
The forest was never silent. It whispered in rustling leaves, sighed in the groan of bending branches, and murmured in the footsteps of unseen creatures. But that night, the woods held its breath. A figure moved through the mist, light on her feet, her white dress clinging to her legs damp with dew. Her long hair streamed behind her as she glanced back once—only once—before vanishing deeper into the darkness. Minutes later, the silence shattered. A scream tore through the night, high and sharp, echoing through the valley before it cut off suddenly, as though swallowed by the earth itself. By morning, the villagers had only rumors. By afternoon, they had only fear. And by nightfall, they began calling her what she would always be remembered as— The Girl in the Woods.
