Account

While walking back to the campground on a paved trail beside the woods, the pair noticed the forest had gone completely silent. Something unseen kept pace with them about ten feet away in the dark, stopping when they stopped and resuming when they walked, with sticks breaking. The guest recited a prayer silently until they reached the campground after about ten minutes.
